+__TOC__
 Captain Bence Parker (b. ca. 1639, d. ?1656 (by 1659)) was the son of William Parker and Rose Bence.  He was possibly the grandson of Alexander Bence of Aldeburghe, and was therefore possibly the cousin of Alexander Bence the elder.  His father predeceased him and his mother remarried Captain William Maynard.

 At the time of Bence Parker's death he was the commander of the ''Three Brothers'', a ship in which Alexander Bence the elder and Captain William Maynard were part-owners.<ref>Before the departure of the ''Three Brothers'' on this (or possibly an earlier) voyage from London to the Coromandel Coast, under charter with the English East India Company, its owners were described as: "Mr. [?Alexander] Bence, Captain Piches, Captain Manyard [Maynard], ... Mr. Bowyer."

-Bence Parker mentions a number of mariners in his will associated with Alexander Bence the elder.  These include Captain Walter Maynard, who speculatively may have been related to Bence Parker's step father Captain William Maynard, and Master John Winn, who was probably a former captain of the ''Three Brothers''.  Of the two witnesses of the will out on the Coromandel Coast, Arnold Browne may have been Captain Arnold Browne, with whom Sir George Oxenden corresponded in the 1660s, and Bence Johnson,described as a kinsman, who was presumably related to the Bence family.

 For reasons which are not clear the will transcribed below was not found not be valid, and Bence Parker was judged to have died intestate, with letters of administration being granted to his widow, Jane Parker.
