In 1582 he married Frances Mayhew, only child and heiress of Jerome/Jeronimy Mayhew of Boringdon Hall, in the parish of Plympton St Mary, near Plymouth. Today Boringdon Hall is a hotel, displaying the arms of Parker sculpted on the granite chimneypiece in the great hall.

These are a difference of the arms of the senior line of Fry of Yarty, whose arms have a field gules.(Pole, p.484). Thomas Parker (d.1545), buried in his family vault under the chancel of North Molton Church, married Elizabeth Fry, a daughter and co-heiress of John Fry of "Fry's Hele" in the parish of Meeth, near Hatherleigh, which was still owned by the Earl of Morley in 1822 according to Lysons, Magna Britannia.
