Snow Parker

Snow Parker (May 16, 1760 – September 18, 1843) was a merchant, judge and political figure in Nova Scotia.

He was born in Yarmouth, Massachusetts, the son of Benjamin Parker and Mary Snow, and came to Liverpool, Nova Scotia with his family.

With his brother Benjamin, he entered the trade in salmon and mackerel caught off Newfoundland.

He was named a captain in the Queens County militia in 1797[1] and also served several terms as justice of the peace.

Parker also provided ships and financing for privateers based in Liverpool and, for a time, was the richest man in the town.
