Sir Hyde Parker (1739-1807), second son of Admiral Sir Hyde Parker, 5th Baronet (1714-1782), entered the Royal Navy at an early age, and became lieutenant in 1758, having passed most of his early service in his fathers' ships. Five years later he became a post-captain, and from 1766 onwards for many years he served in the West Indies and in North American waters, particularly distinguishing himself in breaking the defences of the North River at New York in 1776.
