PREFACE

In 1912-13 the book entitled, "Parsons' Family, Descendants

of Cornet Joseph Parsons," was published. There was no

thought, at that time, of continuing the work in a second volume.

Soon after the delivery of this book, however, many letters

were received asking for further information and expressing

regret that certain lines of descent had not been completed. With

^s^ these letters came suggestions as to data etc. that with proper

>- research and arrangement would provide material for a second

W volume the purpose of which would be to bring many more lines

\J to the present generation.

The present volume is the result of research and correspond-
0 ence continued since 1914. It represents years of close study
^ to verify and arrange a very large amount of material. This
^ has been a serious task, and yet a pleasure and a privilege ; for
whether as a member of a family, one prepares, or later reads
% such records, one cannot but realize an honest satisfaction in
\;;^ knowing the line from which one springs, and the lives and
}■: deeds of those united to one by ties of blood and family.
'j Early in 19 17 the material collected would have made a book
of about 400 pages. Steps were taken at that time to publish
the volume as it then appeared, but this project, with so many
others of that year, had to be set aside because of the war with
Germany. The years since 1914 have been of tragic importance
in the world's history. Many of the present generation served
their country and the world in the cause of truth, righteousness,
and humanity, and many gave the last full measure of devotion.
An effort was made to secure records of such service to add
to the historic value of this book. In the meantime the volume
grew since 1917 to its present size of over 700 pages.

In arranging the material of this volume some perplexing
problems had to be met in the effort to make it independent of,
although virtually a continuation of, and supplementary to the
first. Some historical matter could not be repeated, and bio-
graphical sketches of early ancestors could be retold only in
condensed form. Sincere thanks are due to those who have
aided in gathering and arranging data of their particular Hues.

XIV PREFACE

The book is presented to all kith and kin with the hope that
the present generation may find the historic view along a line
of worthy forebears a call and an inspiration for the future.
To be well-born is an inestimable privilege. The backward trail
may lead through miasmatic valleys or over hills and mountain
tops, with inspiring views or along monotonous levels. But to
the wise the quest will bring its own reward, if, avoiding the
errors of the past, the reader will "carry on," building upon
the achievements of those who have gone before.

CORNET JOSEPH PARSONS

INTRODUCTION

The first volume has some reference to the Parsons Family
in England and in the Colonies and has a biographical sketch
of Joseph^ Parsons, the emigrant from England, and of the
witchcraft experiences of his wife, Mary (Bliss) Parsons, to
all of which the reader is referred.

The following biographical data is chiefly taken from manu-
scripts left by the late Dr. Usher*^ Parsons to which I have had
access through the kindness of his grand-nephew, Mr. Henry*^
Parsons (George,^ William,*' William,^ Rev. Joseph,* Rev.
Joseph,^ Joseph- (Esquire), Cornet Joseph^) of New York City
and Kennebunk, Me. It will be remembered that Dr. Usher Par-
sons was the surgeon on board the Lawrence, the flagship of
Commodore Perry at the battle of Lake Erie. He practiced his
profession in Providence, R. I., for many years thereafter and
gave much time to historical research, in which he was aided by
the late Sylvester Judd of Northampton as appears by a letter
addressed by Judd to him dated Mar. 20, 1834.

(For sketch of Dr. Usher Parsons see pages 101-106.)

From these various sources we are told that Cornet Joseph
Parsons was born about 1617, in England, and died 1683, aged
about 66. He sailed from Gravesend, England, July 4, 1635,
in the bark Transport of London, Edward Walker, Master (see
Certificate in the New England Historical and Genealogical
Register, Vol. 3, Oct., 1849, page 389). He was then about
eighteen years of age, as appears by his testimony given several
years later on making proof as witness to the deed dated July
15, 1636, by the Indians to William Pynchon and others to the
land upon which is now the city of Springfield, Mass. (This
deed is in N. E. Hist. & Gene. Reg., Vol. 15, p. 140.)

No mention is made of his residence in Springfield, from that
time to 1646. During that ten years he was probably frequently
at Hartford, Conn., and on Nov. 20, 1646, he married at Hart-
ford, Mary Bliss, daughter of Thomas and Margaret Bliss, who
had come from Belstone Parish, Devonshire, England, which

4 THE PARSONS FAMILY

county was the probable birthplace of Joseph Parsons, and which
has given rise to the theory that they may have known each
other as children in Devonshire.

Prior to his marriage in Springfield we find that a house lot
and other lands were allotted to him in 1646, and about the
same time Margaret Bliss (widow of Thomas) and her sons
removed from Hartford to Springfield; also that in Jan., 1646,
Joseph Parsons and Thomas Merrick were chosen surveyors in
Springfield to lay out and make a certain road from Mill River
to Long Meadow. In 1652 he was an assessor and selectman
of Springfield. He was one of the original proprietors of
Northampton and one of its first settlers in 1655. Mr. Judd
writes to Dr. Usher Parsons in 1834 the result of his examination
of the Northampton records as to Joseph Parsons in part as
follows :

"His house lot of four acres though now divided into 9 or 10
homesteads still retains the old outlines. A part of it remained
in the family until about 25 years ago. An adjoining lot which
he purchased a few years after he came here is still owned by
his descendants .... In March 1661 he was licensed to keep
an ordinary, or house of entertainment in Northampton. In
March 1663 divers persons 'in the soldering' in Northampton
formed a company of Cavalry which was called the 'Hampshire
Troop.' John Pynchon of Springfield was Captain. The other
officers were a Lieutenant two quartermasters and a Cornet.
William Allis of Hatfield was the first Cornet, a few years after,
Joseph Parsons succeeded him, and always after this bore the
title of Cornet. In 1667 Joseph Parsons united with the Church
then under the pastoral care of Rev. Eleazur Mather. Joseph
Parsons was one of the two persons in this town licensed to
trade with the Indians and he not only traded with them but
to some extent with the Whites. I suppose he gained much of
his property by this Indian traffic. The fur trade in this region
was then very lucrative. In 1662 Joseph Parsons took of Weak-
wangon and his wife a mortgage of Hockamain Meadow a
peninsula connected with Hadley on the east side of the river
to secure a debt which the Indians owed him.

"He sold this meadow, or his right and title, to the Hadley
settlers. The mortgage and deed are on record in Springfield.

INTRODUCTION 5

"He bought and sold lands in Waranoke (Westfield). He
became the owner of much land in Northampton Meadow more
than any other person. He purchased of various persons
upwards of loo acres of Upland meadow at a place called Pas-
commuck at the foot of the north end of Mount Tom. Some
of his descendants now live on this land."

The following diagram of the house lots owned by Joseph
Parsons in Northampton together with the memorandum as to
the division among his sons is a part of the Usher Parsons
manuscripts and was probably sent to him by Mr. Judd who
speaks of the date about 1834.

MAP OF THK HOME LOTS OF THE FIRST SETTLERS OF NORTHAMPTON, COMPILED
FROM THE EARLIEST TOWN RECORDS BY JAMES R. TRUMBULL

(Trumbull's History of Northampton, Vol. i, has two maps,
one entitled, "Map of Home Lots of the First Settlers compiled
from the Earliest Town Records," and the other, "Map repre-
senting the present (1898) Topography of that part of North-
ampton occupied by its First Settlers."

From these maps it appears that lots Nos. i and 2 extended
nearly to where the cemetery now is, and that No. i was divided
later into ten building lots on Bridge Street, the old original
house now standing being near the corner of Market Street.)

"No. I is the Original Home lot of Cornet Joseph Parsons
about 53 or 54 rods long on the main street and 12 rods v/ide.
Called 4 acres.

"In 1661 he purchased the lot No. 2 of his brother-in-law

6 THE PARSONS FAMILY

John Bliss (who returned to Springfield) and in 1668 he pur-
chased lot No. 3 on tlie other side of the street.

"In the division of his property in 1684 Joseph- had lot No. 3,
vSamuel had lot No. 2, John, South-west half of lot No. i,
including the old seat, Jonathan, north half of lot No. i.

"Some years after, John sold his lot to Noah^ and removed
to a lot marked "A" near the river where he lived and died.

"Jonathan and his descendants occupied a part of lot No. i
until about 20 years since. When Samuel removed to Connec-
ticut he sold lot No. 2 to his nephew Josiah" Parsons son of
Joseph", Esq., and his descendants still own it.

"Joseph- Parsons lived on lot No. 3 many years. He sold it
in 1694. But about 20 years after it was purchased by Ebenezer^
Parsons his son and his descendants occupied a part of it until
a few years ago. Joseph'- Parsons, Esq., lived at Springfield
some years and when he returned to Northampton he settled in
another part of the village on the south side of a stream called
Mill River. His lots there fell to the share of his sons Noah
and John. A part of the homestead is owned by these descend-
ants. B is a large meadow lot of Cornet Joseph Parsons, still
owned by his descendants."

(On lot No. I, on Bridge Street, near Market Street, Cornet
Joseph Parsons built in 1658 this house shown herein and where
he lived until he removed to Springfield. It is still occupied by
one of his descendants.)

(Continued from the Manuscript of Dr. Usher Parsons.)
"Joseph Parsons, Jr., son of Cornet Joseph (and afterwards
Esquire) married Elizabeth Strong March 17, 1669 (1668-9 i"
old records). She was a daughter of John Strong Elder of the
Church in Northampton, and usually called Elder John Strong.
He was the ancester, says Mr. Judd of all the Strongs in the
country. The late Gov. Strong was of the 5th generation or
great-grandson. John Strong had 12 children. Elizabeth who
married Joseph Parsons, Jr., was born at Windsor, Conn. Feb.
24, 1648 (1647-8 old records). They had 12 children. They
lived in Northampton excepting a few years between 1702 &
171 1 in which he resided in Springfield. They were members
of the Church under the care of Rev. Solomon Stoddard. He

died Nov. 21, 1729 and she died July 22, 1736 on her son
Josiah's record; (May 12, 1736 on the town records.) In the
registry of deaths her name is by mistake printed Mehitable.

"The Will of Joseph Parsons, Esq., was proved Dec. 9, 1729.
He had omitted to date it — but the witnesses testified that it was
made "sometime the latter part of last Summer" and it was
allowed to stand. He had given he says 100 pounds each to
Joseph and David toward their education. He goes on to give
the other six sons lands and personal estate to the same amount
or near it. John, Ebenezer, Josiah and Noah had lands in
Northampton, Daniel in Springfield, and Moses in Durham
(Conn.). He had given the two daughters 30 pounds each.
As to the rest of his property after the decease of himself and
wife he gives the two daughters 70 pounds each and orders the
remainder to be divided between the 8 sons, except Noah with
whom he lived was to have the house and homestead at a certain
price less doubtless than the actual value. He had probably
given the sons lands many years before.

"Joseph Parsons, Esq., held the commission from Gov. Dudley
of Captain of the Northampton Company of Militia, and was
an active and enterprising man in business. He built a grist
mill and saw mill in Northampton and owned one in Deerfield
which he sold for meadow land. He dealt largely in tar and
turpentine made in Northampton. He also dealt in boards and
plank which he sent down the river and bartered for goods. In
1697 he and Col. John Pynchon erected iron works at Suffield
where they for some time made large quantities of iron. The
estimated cost of the iron works was 300 pounds which was a
great undertaking for that day. He was interested in Mills in
Springfield and owned land there. Probably a homestead for
he resided there between 1700- 17 10 within which time he repre-
sented that town in the General Court. He also represented
Northampton in 1 693-4-6-1 702- 11-12-13-14-15-17-21 & 24. He
was at times a Judge of the County Court. He was elected
townsman or selectman in Northampton in the early part of his
life during 9 years.

"After his return from Springfield to Northampton he relin-
quished much of his business to his sons and attended chiefly
to his lands and to his duties as a Magistrate.

5 THE PARSONS FAMILY

"His epitaph and his wife's were as follows:

" 'Here lyeth the body of Joseph Parsons, Esqr. who deceased
November yr. 29 A. D. 1729 aged 83 years'

" 'Here lieth the body of Mrs. Elizabeth Parsons reliet of
Joseph Parsons, Esq., who died May ye. 11 A. D. 1736 aged
89 years'

"Rev. Joseph^ Parsoxs (son of Esquire Joseph) graduated
at Harvard College 1697. He studied Theology with Increase
Mather President of Harvard College .... He first settled
in Lebanon, Conn, and living in a house which was some 50
years afterwards a part of the dwelling of Gov. Trumbull. He
was ordained Nov. 2"], 1700 and left his flock in 1708. His
wife was the daughter of Benjamin Tompson the first Minister
in Braintree. Her discontentedness in Lebanon caused him to
remove to Boston where he had some estate left him by his
father particularly a part of a house having the corner of Winter
and Marlboro Streets. He was also owner of lands in Hub-
bardstown. He bought in 1714 land amounting to 1/20 of the
8 miles Square of Leicester, Mass. for 60 pounds. He inherited
or purchased large parcels of land in Hubbardstown, Royalston,
Rutland and Oakland in Worcester County. He preached in
Boston 8 years and then was installed in Salisbury, Mass. West
Church Nov. 26, 1718. He preached the Ordination Sermon
of his son Joseph of Bradford and was the teacher in Theology
of all his children who settled in the ministr}'

"He was highly orthodox in his sentiments — more so than his
sons who bordered upon Armenianism ....

"He died March 13, 1739 in the 69 years of his age. His
wife took up her residence with her daughter Fogg of Kensing-
ton, N. H. where she dwelt 35 years after her husbands decease.
She is represented as a lady of uncommon endowments possessed
of a lively and cheerful disposition."

Rev. Joseph* Parsons of Bradford graduated in 1720 at
Harvard College, was admitted to the Church in Salisbury Aug.
5, 1722, ordained at Bradford First Church June 7, 1726. His
father preached the sermon. He married Frances Usher, daugh-
ter of Lieutenant-governor John Usher, the son of Hezekiali
Usher and Elizabeth, daughter of Rev. Zachariah Symmes of

INTRODUCTION 9

Cliarlestown, whose father and grandfather were named William
Symmes.

He married a second wife, whose maiden name was Green-
leaf, her first husband, Bacon; her second, Scott; her third,
Parsons, and her fourth. Rev. Mr. Jewett of Rowley. Gov.
Usher's wife was Elizabeth Allen, daughter of Gov. Samuel
Allen, proprietor of Mason's Lands in New Hampshire.

He died May 4, 1765, in the 63d year of his age and the
39th of his ministry. His first wife died September 18, 1747,
in her 43d year. They are both buried about one mile below
Haverhill bridge, on the west side of Merrimac River, near the
center of an old burying ground on the left side of the road
leading to Newburyport. His house of worship was near this
ground but was torn down in his day and a new house was
erected near Haverhill bridge. His dwelling house was a few
rods north of the burying ground and on the opposite or west
side of the road.

Rev. Joseph* Parsons of Bradford studied theology with his
father, Rev. Joseph of Salisbury. In Nov. 1720, he was invited
to become a candidate for settlement in the towni of Bradford
which was at the time composed of the parish over. which w^as
settled in 1682 Mr. Zachariah Symmes, son of the Rev. Z.
Symmes of Charlestown, and in 1708 his son, Thomas Symmes,
was installed.

Feb. 18, 1726, Air. Parsons was invited to settle and was
ordained June 7, 1726. The library of Zachariah Symmes being
inherited by his son Thomas came into the possession of Mr.
Parsons as a present from Mrs. Thomas Symmes. She was a
Tompson, sister of Mrs. Joseph" Parsons, the mother of Joseph
of Bradford. Some of the books, bearing the names of both
Symmes and of Joseph Parsons, came into my hands (Usher
Parsons). In the margins and blank pages of these are many
pieces written in Latin, which show him to have been very
familiar with that language. Some notes are also written in
Greek and some in Hebrew. He is represented by some aged
persons who heard him preach as being a fine speaker and grace-
ful orator. Of his respectable standing as a minister it is enough
to say that he was the secretary of the Merimac Association of
Ministers and was directed by the same to reply to the attacks

lO THE PARSONS FAMILY

that were made upon the doctrines which they preached. That
he was called upon to preach the convention sermon in Boston,
the Governor's election sermon and artillery sermon, and some
ordination sermons, one of which was at the ordination of Rev.
Samuel Webster of Salisbury. Copies of each of these, with the
exception of the convention sermon, may be seen in Harvard
College Library. The convention sermon, together with many
others in manuscript, are bound into a volume, and are owned
by Mrs. Samuel Pitkin of East Hartford. The handwriting is
beautiful and exact. Rev. Gardener Perry, who has examined
the parish records of Bradford, says he was a fine penman and
kept the church records with uncommon elegance and accuracy.

A memorandum in said records stated that "the great earth-
quacke on the 29th of Oct. 1727 produced a great efifect upon
the minds of his people and was the means of awakening their
attention to the things of religion."

During his ministry 288 were added to the church, 821 were
baptized and 176 married.

The occasional sermons were preached in the following order :

1 Ordination of S. Webster, Aug. 12, 1741 ....

2 Artillery election sermon, June 4, 1744, being the day of

their election of officers. Text: H Saml., chap. 17, verse
8, "Thy Father is a Man of War." It is dedicated to His
Excellency William Shirley, Esq.

3 The Governor's election sermon, "preached in the audience

of His Excellency (Sir Francis Bernard) his honor the
Lieutenant-Governor (Thomas Hutchinson) and the hon-
orable his majesty's Council and house of Representatives
of the Province of Massachusetts Bay, New England, May
3. 1759 being the anniversary for the Election of his
majesty's Council." Benjamin Lynde and William Brattle
were voted in Council a Committee to request a copy for
publication. Text: Esther, chap. 1:13.

4 Convention sermon, preached in 1755; Matt. 6, verses 14,

15 and 16. In this he recommended the formation of a
theological library.

5 The reply in behalf of the Merimac Association was pub-

lished about 1744. It was short and caustic.

IN'TRODUCTION' II

6 Two discourses concerning the importance of the behef and
profession of the gospel to eternal salvation, preached to
his people and published by their desire in 1759. Text:
Romans 10:8, 9. These sermons exhibit Armenian senti-
ments and there is little doubt that he inculcated the
importance of good works more than the Galvanism of
that day did. The following passage is extracted.
"iVlthough true faith be the root of evangelical obedience,
you are not hence to conclude that all your care is to be
for faith and none at all how you live. The root indeed
is to be manured and nourished with water, but the tender
shoot above ground is to be defended from blasting winds
and overbearing tempests ; excresenccs are to be lopped
off, hostile invaders are to be destroyed, and by much art
and industry is the fruit to be made perfect. Jesus Christ
and his Apostles, though they preached faith, preached
obedience, too. They did not think it sufficient to urge a
man to believe but urged them as much to practice."

Rev. \\'illiam* Parsons, 3d son of Rev. Joseph^ of Salisbury,
was born 17 11. Took his degree at Harvard 1735 and settled
in Southampton, N. H. He connected the business of a shop-
keeper or trader with his profession. After preaching 19 years
he separated from his flock and removed to Gilmanton, N. H.,
1768, and took up lands for lumber and farms. He also preached
in adjoining towns. He was a great lover of music and made
an organ himself that worked well. He was considered a mod-
erate preacher. He married Sarah Burnham of Durham, N. H.
She lived eleven months after him and died Dec. 1796. He lived
on what is called Parsons Hill and died in Feb. 1796.

Rev. Joseph^ Parsons of Brookfield, son of Rev. Joseph* of
Bradford, graduated at Harvard College in 1752, was ordained
in Brookfield First Parish, Nov. 23, 1757, married Sarah, daugh-
ter of Rev. Wareham Williams of Waltham, Nov. 23, 1763.
He died Jan. 17, 1771, in the 38th year of his age and 14th of
his ministry .... He was distinguished, says his biographer,
for the vivacity of his descriptions, the accuracy of his reason-
ings and the persuasiveness of exhortations. A severe rheumatic
affection afflicted him during three and a half years and caused

12 THE PARSONS FAMILY

his death. He was remarkable for a cheerfulness of manner
and a vein of sportive wit in which he indulged to the last.
Anecdotes are still preserved illustrative of these traits. He left
one daughter, Sarah, wife of Samuel Pitkin, Esq., of East
Hartford, a lady of fine mental endowments and refinement of
manners. She is the only Parsons I have yet seen who took the
least interest in tracing the genealogy of her family, a subject
in which she seems to take an uncommon degree of pleasure.
She has three children, a son. Col. Pitkin of East Hartford,
Mrs. James F. Baldwin of Boston, and one daughter at home.

Her mother married Rev. Dr. Eliphalet Williams of East
Hartford. She died Jan. 23, 1800, aged 62. Rev. Dr. Williams
died in 1803 in his 77th year.

Samuel^ Parsons (Rev. Joseph*, Rev. Joseph^ Joseph-, Cor-
net Joseph^) b. 1737 at Bradford, Mass., d. 1807, at Corn-
ville. Me.

He was a house carpenter and served his apprenticeship in
Kingston. He resided in Ipswich and Epping with his uncle
Rev. William* Parsons in Gilmanton, N. H. He finally removed
to Cornville, Me., and lived there with his son, and died there
in 1807.

The following extracts from the wills of Rev. Joseph^ Parsons
of Salisbury and of Rev. Joseph* Parsons of Bradford are found
in the Holton Manuscripts :

Will of Rev. Joseph^ Parsons of Salisbury gives to his four
sons Joseph, Samuel, William and John "All my land rights
and divisions of land in ye township of Rutland in ye County
of Worcester and province of Massachusetts Bay to have &c.,
. . . saving 100 acres of ye said lands to be first taken off for
my eldest son Joseph which I give to him over and above his
equal share with the rest."

Item 3. "To my daughter Elizabeth Fogg besides the 200
pounds given her at her marriage 1/5 part of all my estate in
Salisbury personal and real," remaining after the death of his
wnfe Elizabeth.

Item 4. Gives to wife Elizabeth all his estate in Salisbury,
debts being paid and funeral expenses deducted, and his son
John to be brought up from it till he takes his first degree in
college.

INTRODUCTION I3

Item 5. After wife's death all estate in Salisbury to be
equally divided between his children, his daughter Elizabeth

30 THE PARSONS FAMILY

At the fourth reunion of the Fogg Family at Boston, Mass.,
Aug. 31 and Sept. i, 1905, a paper was read by Rev. Edmund
Quincy Osgood on Rev. Jeremiah Fogg which contained the
following extract:

"Mr. Fogg had not labored for any lengthy period in this
Kensington parish when his marriage took place and a bride was
ready to grace the newly built parsonage.

"On the 13th day of July, 1739, he took as his wife the only
daughter of Rev. Joseph Parsons, the Minister of Rocky Hill
Church in the neighboring town of Salisbury^ Mass.

"The charming tradition is handed down to us that Parson
Fogg rode to his new home over the Kensington hills and through
the pine forests with his bride Elizabeth seated on the pillion
behind him. It is also related that one of the deacons who had
attended the wedding at Rocky Hill carried to the Parsonage in
the same fashion a colored girl, Phyllis by name, one of the
domestics in the Salisbury household, but was now to wait upon
her young mistress in the cozy manse that had been made ready
for her.

"In March, 1740, a few months after the marriage was solem-
nized, occurred the death of the bride's father, Rev. Joseph
Parsons, whose widow came to live in the Fogg parsonage. She
brought with her a colored man, already quite advanced in years,
called Primus. According to Colonial Law both this man and
the girl Phyllis ranked nominally as slaves. Primus indeed was
the son of an African Chief. But in point of fact they were
devoted servants in the family, attached to every member of it
by ties of affection, regard and mutual service. Sometime before
the Revolutionary War, Primus helped his master set out two
Elms at a short distance from the house. One of these died
about 1850, but the other is still standing."

death in 1744. In 1721 he was one of three citizens who
(according to the town records) purchased the whole of North-
ampton's proportion (£486-155) of the £50,000 of Province Bills
ordered to be made by the government by reason of the scarcity

farmer. A very interesting sketch of her life is in a pamphlet
entitled "Our Patronymics," compiled by her granddaughter,
Mrs. Elizabeth Edwards' Gififord, published 1880.

In the Hunt Genealogy we find the following reference to her :
"Her mother was a Hunt and a sister of the late Dea. Ebenezer
Hunt. Her parents had seven daughters ; one attained the age
of 99 years, another 98, and another 90.

FIFTH GENERATION 6l

"President Dwight, who presided over Yale College twenty-
one years, was her playmate, and the late Gov. Caleb Strong her
neighbor, and only a few years her senior. The preservation of
her mental and physical faculties was unusual and wonderful.
vShe delighted in the quotation of biblical precepts to a period of
only a few weeks previous to her death.

"Her husband was a descendant of Moses Cleveland, who
settled in Woburn, Mass. (about 1648; born at Ipswich, England,
about 1624, and came to America about 1635) ; his lineage being
Xehemiah'^, Nehemiah*, Henry", Josiah-, Moses\ He was related
to Gen. Moses" Cleveland (Aaron*. Josiah", Josiah-, Moses^),
who was born Jan. 29, 1754, at Canterbury, Conn.; was a soldier
and officer in the Revolutionary \\'ar, and a lawyer and farmer at
Canterbury. About 1795 he joined, with others, in the forma-
tion of the Connecticut Land Co., which bought the interests of
the State of Connecticut in the \\'estern Reserve in Ohio, and
was active in its development and in the settlement of the city
which bears his name. In 1888 a statue to the memory of Gen.
Moses Cleveland as the founder of the City was erected in the
Square of Cleveland."

We may add that President Grover Cleveland was of this
family, his lineage being Grover*, Richard Fally^, William®,
Aaron^, Aaron\ Aaron", Aaron^, Moses', born at Caldwell, N. J.

Daniel^ Parsons was an Innkeeper in Springfield, Mass. By
the will of his father, Esq. Joseph", he received certain property
in Springfield. (Vol. i, pages 55 to 57.) His grandson, Zenas^
Parsons, was the owner of the well-known "Parsons Tavern,"
situated in the southeast corner of what is now Court House
Square, and is mentioned in the histories of Springfield and
Northampton, and its picture, taken from a history of Spring-
field, is given herein. (See Vol. i, pages 128 to 130.) On its
site is a granite bowlder, having a bronze tablet with the fol-
lowing :

"Here stood the Parsons Tavern where Washington was enter-
tained June 30, 1775, traveling in the saddle from Philadelphia
to Cambridge to take command of the American forces.

64 THE PARSONS FAMILY

"Oct. 21, 1789, riding in his coach through New England States
as President.

"Erected by the George Washington Chapter of the Sons of
the American Revolution, 19 14."

24 Gideon'^ Parsons (Daniel*, DanieP, Joseph-, Cornet
Joseph^), b. at Springfield, Mass., Feb. 24, 1739; d. Jan. 12,
1836, Town of Fenner, Madison Co., N. Y. He was m. Nov.
2, 1764, at Springfield, Mass., to Mary Warner, by Rev. Robert
Breck. She was b. Feb. 26, 1746; d. July- 11, 1831, in Fenner,
N. Y. Both are buried in the old Needham Burying Ground,
Town of Fenner, about three miles east of Cazenovia, N. Y. He
served in the Revolution from 1776-81 under Col. Woodbridge,
Capts. Flowers, Carpenter, and Church, and probably was the
Gideon mentioned in Massachusetts Soldiers and Sailors of tlie
Revolution, (Vol. 2, pages 966-67.) He applied for a pension
July 16, 1832 ; his claim was allowed and the D. A. R. of Caz-
enovia have placed a stone at his grave. About 1806 he moved
from Wilbraham, Mass., to Fenner, N. Y., where his son Walter
had preceded him. Their first home, a log cabin, was soon
changed to a frame house Gideon built, and which is now (1916)
occupied by the present owners of the farm. A little to the east
is the old red school house where most of his grandchildren
attended school. The first house to the west was the home of
his daughter, Mary Hatch, where he died, 1836. The Hatch
house was built in 1818 by Guy Hatch's father. A great-grand-
daughter of Gideon's remembers a silhouette of him which
showed he wore a queue and had a long prominent nose. She has
his "Family Record," which gives his marriage and the births of
thirteen children. Unpublished records of Springfield, Mass.,
name a Gideon Parsons (son of Daniel and Esther Stebbins
Parsons) who married Mary Warner and had tliirteen children.
The date of his marriage, names and birth dates of the children
are identical with those on the record above mentioned, proving
it to be the same man.

(John Howe, the emigrant, came from Warwickshire, England,
in 1630; lived first in Watertown, Mass., then at Sudbury, where
he was made freeman in 1640. He d. at Marlborough in 1687,
and his wife, Mary, d. there. He was a Selectman in Sudbury
and was the first to open there an inn for travelers. In those
days this business ranked high and the landlord was only second
in importance to the clergyman and lawyer. This "Ancient Hos-
telrie" of John Howe has been made famous by the poet Long-
fellow as the "Wayside Inn." His son John married, Jan. 22,
1662, Elizabeth, and d. Apr. 20, 1676, killed by the Indians. He
lived in Marlborough, where at least three of his children were
born, as appears by the town records. He had a son, Abraham
Howe, who was an officer in the French and Indian War in 1763,
and was afterwards a Capt. in a Mass. Regt. in the Revolu-
tionary War, and d. in a hospital. Abraham had a son, Abner
Howe, born about 1761, who d. May 24, 1837, in his 75th year.
His wife was Nancy Brown of New London, Conn., who d.
Dec. 13, 185 1, in her 87th year. He was a prosperous farmer

102 THE PARSONS FAMILY

Jackson Holmes, dau. of Rev. Abiel Holmes, D.D., author of
"American Annals," and a sister of Oliver Wendell Holmes. She
d. in Providence, R, I., having a son Charles William^ Parsons.

The following sketch is taken from a memoir of Dr. Usher

"He was born in Alfred, York County, Me., where he passed
his boyhood and youth. He attended the village school in the
winter and worked on his father's farm in the summer, and later
an academy in the vicinity, and his struggles for an education
was not unlike that of many other ambitious American young
men. With a good elementary education, including Latin and
Greek, and something of medicine, he went to Boston, in 1811,
and his medical studies were completed under Dr. John Warren,
a brother of Genl. Joseph ^^''arren, who fell at Bunker Hill. He
was licensed to practice and, July 6, 1812, was commissioned as
Surgeon's Mate in the U. S. Navy and commenced service on
the frigate John Adams. The war with England was then on,
and they were ordered from the Brooklyn Navy Yard to Albany
and thence to Buffalo, by wagons and on foot, reaching there
Oct. 17.

"In the winter and spring of 1812-13 he was in charge of sick
and wounded at Black Rock, near Buffalo, living first in tents
and later in barracks. In March, 1813, Capt. Oliver H. Perry
arrived at Erie, Pa., to superintend the outfitting of a fleet. In
June, Perry came to Black Rock to take to Erie five small
merchant vessels armed with one or two guns each, and Dr.
Parsons joined Perry and sailed, June 14. On Aug. 12, the little
squadron sailed from Erie toward the head of the lake. On the
19th they were visited by Genl. Wm. Henry Harrison, with his
aide, Col. Lewis Cass, and other officers. On the 26th they
arrived near the mouth of the Detroit River, and thence sailed
to Sandusky and anchored among the islands of Put-in-Bay.
Many on board were ill of fever, including the Commodore and
more than half the officers. The two other surgeons were con-
fined for weeks before and after the battle of Sept. loth. Dr.
Parsons writes in his diary *I did not escape the attack myself,
which confined me two or three days, and during that time more
than one hundred lay sick without medical aid.' And he writes
further: Tn this weakened condition, with only one doctor in
the squadron to attend the sick and take charge of the wounded
of a battle, we met the enemy.' "

SIXTH GENERATION I03

The following heretofore unpubHshed letter, in full, will give
some account of the battle of Lake Erie, by one who took an
active part in it.

(Copy of letter written by Dr. Usher Parsons to his parents) :

"Off Lower Sandusky, near Put-in-Bay,
and near the head of Lake Erie, on board
Brig Lawrence, Sept. 22nd, 1813.

"Dear Parents:

Before the arrival of this an account of our victorious engage-
ment with the British Squadron on this lake will reach you. I
can only add a few particulars. Most of the action was sup-
ported by this vessel as you will be led to suppose when informed
that out of 150 men (our ship's crew) 31 of whom were sick
previous to the action, we had rising 80 killed and wounded,
among whom were nearly all the officers save the intrepid com-
mander. On board, all the others were about 30 killed and
v/ounded. This vessel supported a disastrous fire from the
enemy's two ships on side and a brig astern raking us for two
hours all within musket shot, during which we so disabled the
ships that when the Commander left the vessel to bring another
in to her assistance he succeeded in 15 minutes in making all
these strike. It may seem mysterious to one how some of the
other vessels could see us slaughtered in such a manner but it
is equally so to us. Nor can the commanders of some of them
offer satisfactory reasons for remaining behind. Unfortunately
for the wounded the two surgeons had been confined for some
days with fever and could render them but little assistance. It
has, however, operated in my favor as I have had all the ampu-
tating to perform and it affords me the greatest pleasure to reflect
that in no case have I failed of the best success. This has
impressed the Commodore with so favourable an opinion toward
me that I have not the least doubt of his rendering me assistance
to a better situation. He is the first warm friend I have met
with in the service capable of assisting me. I am now on my
way in the Lawrence for Erie, having all the sick and wounded
on board, and shall continue with them in the hospital 'til the
most of them recover, and then intend to shape my course for
Cape Horn. Gen. Harrison was on board the Lawrence this
morning and his army was on an island within half a mile of

I04 THE PARSONS FAMILY

the vessel consisting of about 7,000. Tomorrow they cross to
Maiden, a distance of about 18 miles. Since the loss of the
British fleet the Indians have deserted Detroit, after leaving the
place and (as is reported) massacring the inhabitants. I had
some narrow escapes for my life; during the action five cannon
balls passed through the room in which I was attending to the
wounded. Two that I had dressed and laid aside were after-
wards killed during the action. The enemy's squadron mounted
more guns than ours and carried at least one-fourth more men.
In the course of a year I hope to obtain a little prize money, * *

Your affectionate son,

Usher Parsons."

In a letter (or report) to the Secretary of the Navy, Commo-
dore Perry wrote : "Of Dr. Parsons, Surgeon's Mate, I cannot
say too much. In consequence of the disability of both the other
surgeons, Drs. Horsely and Barton, the whole duty of operating,
dressing and attending nearly one hundred wounded and as many
sick devolved entirely on him, and it must be pleasing to you,
sir, to reflect that of the whole number wounded only three have
died. I can only say that in the event of my having another
command, I should consider myself particularly fortunate in
having him with me as Surgeon,"

In connection with other commissioned officers of the fleet,
Dr. Parsons received, by vote of Congress, a silver medal bearing
the likeness of Perry and a representation of the battle, with
suitable inscriptions. His share of the prize money first gave
him a feeling of pecuniary independence, and one of its earliest
uses was to pay debts incurred in obtaining his medical education.
But a much more important reward of his services on Lake Erie
was the warm friendship of Commodore Perry and the com-
mencement of a surgical reputation.

He remained with the fleet at Erie in the care of sick and
wounded during 18 13 and the spring of 18 14, and was commis-
sioned Surgeon, Apr. 15, 1814, but it was dated Sept. 10, 1813,
the day of the battle. On June 19, 1814, the fleet sailed under
Commodore Sinclair from Erie for Detroit and Lake Huron.
In the meantime Perry had been appointed to command the new
frigate, Java, building at Baltimore, and was allowed to select
his own officers.

SIXTH GENERATION I05

He chose several of his companions in the Lake service, and,
among others, Dr. Parsons, who, on Dec. 2, 1814, received orders
to report to Perry at Baltimore, and he sailed with Perry on the
Java during 181 5-16, except for short leaves of absence, while
in American waters, to visit his parents, at Alfred, Me.

He sailed, Jan. 22, 1816, from Newport, reaching Gibraltar,
Feb. 12, as the frigate had been ordered to the Mediterranean
to look after American interests in connection with the Barbary
States. They remained there, visiting various Mediterranean
ports, until the early part of 181 7, when they sailed for Newport,
reaching there Mar. 3, 1817. In July, 1818, he sailed from
Boston as Surgeon on the frigate Guerriere, Capt. Thomas
McDonough, for St. Petersburg, carrying out Mr. George W.
Campbell, minister to Russia, and thence to the Mediterranean.
On account of ill health in July, 1819, he received permission to
leave the Guerriere and return to America. The return was
leisurely taken through Europe, visiting many places and objects
of interest, arriving in Paris Sept. 29. Much time was given
to adding to and improving his medical knowledge and in
professional study and in purchasing medical books and
instruments.

He reached London Dec. 4, 1819, where he continued to take
advantage of opportunities for study and to make the acquaint-
ance of many eminent men in the medical profession.

He sailed from Liverpool in a merchant vessel Dec. 28, reach^
ing Boston early in 1820. In May he was ordered to service in
the Marine barracks in Charlestown, residing much of the time
in Cambridge. In Aug., 1820, he was chosen Professor of Anat-
omy and Surgery in Dartmouth College. About this time he
published, at Cambridge, the "Sailor's Physician," a medical
guide for use on merchant vessels. This was sold extensively,
its name being changed to "Physician for Ships," and passed
through several editions in the years 1824, 1842, 185 1 and 1867.
In Dec, 1820, he visited the medical schools of New York,
Philadelphia and Baltimore and heard lectures from the eminent
men of that time.

In April, 1822, Dr. Parsons began his long residence in Provi-
dence, R. I. He married in Sept., 1822, and in April, 1823,
resigned from the Navy. He was appointed Professor of Anat-
omy and Surgery in the medical school attached to Brown

lo6 THE PARSONS FAMILY

University. He joined the Rhode Island Medical Society in 1823,
and in 1837 was elected its President for three years.

He wrote several books on medical subjects and contributed
many articles to medical periodicals. In 1843 he visited Europe
for the third time, spending some time in London, and more in
Paris, where his son was then studying medicine.

From about 1851 he was active for the establishment of a
hospital in Providence, and his efforts resulted in the founding
of the hospital in 1863, under a charter granted by the legislature.

Although he had a large practice as a physician, and partic-
ularly as a surgeon, his activities were not confined to his
profession.

He was interested in Colonial history, and genealogy, partic-
ularly of the Parsons and allied families. In 1855 he published
the Life of Sir William Pepperell, who, because of his successful
capture of Louisburg, was the only native of New England who
was created a baronet during the colonial period. The book
was republished in England in 1856.

His memoir, a pamphlet of seventy-two pages, written in 1870,
is intensely interesting, not only to medical men but also to the
general reader, and this sketch is only a brief outline of its
contents.

It contains also a list of his known publications, fifty-eight
in number, from 1809 to 1867. He died Dec. 19, 1868, aged
80 years, 4 months.

On June i, 1869, Hon. Samuel G. Arnold, President of the
Rhode Island Historical Society, read a discourse on the services
of three members of the society who had recently died and the
following is from the part referring to Dr. Parsons :

"He was a man in whom the love of country was strongly
marked, and whose fidelity to the flag never failed in the darkest
hours. His was a genial temperament and a kindly heart, with
much of the jovial spirit of the seas in his hours of relaxation.
We miss his familiar form in these seats at our stated meetings
and we miss his cordial greeting and his honest smile in the
daily intercourse of life, for there are few families in this city
where he was not a welcome guest, and where, during his long
residence of nearly half a century among us, his name had not
become a household word. Loved in life and honored in death,
his memory will be revered by all who value those high qualities
of manhood which were united in his character."

142 THE PARSONS FAMILY

From the manuscript records of the Parsons Family, collected
by the late Dr. David Parsons Holton, I quote the following:

"In a letter dated from Worthington, Jan. 25, 1865, Maurice
Parsons writes: 'My first nine children have all (except one)
been teachers of primary schools, and I believe very successful
in their occupation. I have at the present time over thirty living
grandchildren. Eleven of my children are located west of the
Hudson River. I visited and saw them all last fall. I visited
E. Howard at Columbus, Ohio. Found all my children good
Union men and women, and for sustaining the government and
crushing the rebellion, and in good circumstances generally, for
which I ought to be devoutly thankful to the good providence of
God. I have lived in Worthington thirty-five years.' " Later he
removed to Big Rock, Iowa. He died Sept. 5, 1890, at Mechan-
icsville, Iowa.

The foregoing letter to Dr. Holton was written in Jan., 1865.
in the latter days of the Civil War. In the early autumn of
that year a memorable reunion of the family occurred at Wor-
thington, Mass. A notice of it appeared in the Hampshire
Gazette, from which the following extracts are made :

"One of the most interesting scenes lately witnessed in this
mountain town, was a family gathering at the house of Maurice
Parsons, Esq. The venerable parents were permitted to welcome
to their quiet rural house for the first and only time, all their
children, eleven in number, residing in Massachusetts, New York,
Ohio, Illinois and Iowa, nine of whom are married and had
their companions with them. The youngest of the nine (Capt.
Elias H. Parsons) came fresh from the service of his country,
where he had battled manfully for the flag of the Union, having
served as Captain under General Sherman in the long, tedious
and perilous march from Atlanta to Savannah, and thence to
Richmond. Twenty-three out of thirty-four grandchildren were
present. A sumptuous repast was provided in the open air
under a temporary bower erected for the occasion. For the
abundance of the provisions and tasteful arrangement of the
table much credit is due to Mr. J. PI. Eager and wife and Mr.
and Mrs. A. P. Drury. Abel P. Drury, Esq., presided at the
table. The blessing was asked by Rev. Mr. Bisbee. Speeches
were made by Mr. Bisbee, by Mr. Parsons the venerable patri-
arch, and by some of the children. The music, both vocal and
instrumental, was provided by the blooming bride of the young

SIXTH GENERATION 143

Captain (recently married) and by her sister, Miss Hattie Giesy,
and others, and in the evening by Bryant's band from West
Chesterfield. It was indeed an occasion long to be remembered
by parents and children. The following Sabbath found them to
the number of about forty-five seated in one body in the house
of prayer v/here the children in early years had gathered. Here
once more they heard the familiar voice of their pastor (Mr.
Bisbee), who instructed and counseled them in childhood. May
this happy family be found unbroken at the last great gathering,
and there may the father be able to say, 'here am I and the
children which thou gavest me.' "

Dutton. He enlisted in the New York Infantry, 129th Regt.,
Mar., 1814, and July, 1816, serving as En^gn and Lieutenant
respectively under Col. Elisha Farnham. A great-granddaughter
of Festus has the original Commissions, the last two being signed
by Daniel D. Tompkins, then Governor of New York State. She
also has ornaments from his uniform and the old-fashioned hymn
book he had when a member of the church choir. On one
occasion he was obliged to join his regiment at Sackett's Harbor,
N. Y., in haste, leaving his wife with their first baby, Fanny,
only four days old. It was this baby, grown to womanhood,
that carefully preserved her father's papers until her death, 1899 ;
giving one to a nephew in Iowa, and the other four to a sister
to keep for the great-granddaughter, who now has them.

Betsy (Towne) Parsons was a thrifty housewife, spinning and
weaving "blue coverlets" for all her daughters, teaching them
to embroider ruffling, and make lace, samples of all of which
are used to-day by a great-grandchild, together with the big
flour barrel made of a hollow log, the large chest and many
other things, the v.'ork of her sons, and her brothers, the Townes.

Festus'^ and Betsy Parsons remained with his parents until
the mother, Mary Warner, d. in 1831. The father, Gideon^,
then lived with his daughter, Mrs. Guy Hatch. Festus** and
Betsy Parsons moved to North Manlius, N. Y., and soon after
to Kirkville, N. Y., where they are buried. Their home is still
standing, but is moved back from the street and used as a shop.

A grandson writes :

"I remember my grandfather Parsons as being a very fine
man, but very unfortunate, being lame for a great many years
before he died. He had to use crutches from the effects of a
white swelling and at last it was the cause of his death, for he
was going to visit his son Adna, then living in Coventry, and
driving a horse and wagon all alone, and feeling chilly, as was
supposed, he arose to put on an overcoat, and losing his balance
fell and broke his neck."

Richard Henry® Parsons (Col. Eli^ Aaron*, DanieP, Esq.
Joseph^, Cornet Joseph^), b. Jan. 30, 1794, at Springfield or
Cherry Valley, Otsego County, N. Y. ; d. Apr. 30, 1869, at
Eugene, Ore. He m. at Hallowell, Ont., Jan. 6, 1817, Harriet
Ludington; b. at Warren, Herkimer Co., N. Y., Oct. 18, 1798;
d. at Eugene, Ore., Jan. 11, 1873. He resided for several years
at Oswego, N. Y., then at Scipio, Seneca Co., Ohio; then to
Lake Co., Ind. In March, 1853, he and his children with their
families, together with several other families, started for the
Oregon Territory, the whole company, with their ox and horse
teams and covered wagons, making a large caravan. The
journey took about six months. The route was through Illinois,
Iowa, Nebraska, but then all west of the Missouri River was
known as Indian Territory, following in the main Platte River
and its branches to the mountains across the Rocky Mountains
to a point on the Columbia River and down the river to the
vicinity of Eugene, where he settled.

One of the women of the family kept a diary of the long
journey, which tells of the country through which they journeyed ;
their trials and hardships, and how they and their animals sub-
sisted. It was then beyond the Missouri River, a country without
settlement, except at the forts, or Indian reservations, and over
which roamed the buffalo, antelope, deer and wolves, and the
Indians who were at times hostile.

He was Justice of the Peace at Eugene in its early days and
later Collector of Customs and Postmaster. The following is
an extract from an obituary notice published in the Pacific
Christian Advocate of Portland, Ore., of INIay 29, 1869:

"Richard H. Parsons, of Eugene City, Lane County, Oregon,
departed this life in full prospect of immortal glory, April 30,
1869, aged 75 years and 3 months. Deceased was born in Spring-
field, Otsego County. N. Y. His last illness of some four months
duration was very severe, had been gradually failing in health
for several months before his death, and had in the meantime
almost lost his eyesight; consecjuently was obliged to close up
his business transactions, although his mind was strong and
vigorous, and his capacity for business as clear and good as ever.
Father Parsons, as he was familiarly called by all classes, was
a kind and genial Christian man; always a cheerful and pleasant

greeting for friends and acquaintances, even down to the little
ones, and was beloved and respected by all who knew him. Father
of a large family, he, with the most of them, in the year 1853,
emigrated from Lake County, Indiana, to Oregon. After endur-
ing the hardships of crossing the Plains, and seeking in these
western wilds a home for himself and his, he finally settled with
his children and grandchildren around him in Eugene City, where
he resided until called to the City above."

George Bliss filled a large place not only in his native North-
ampton but in New York, the home of his adoption. As one of
his biographers writes :

SIXTH GENERATION l8l

"He came of a good Puritan stock and was a lineal descendant
of Thomas Bliss who was driven from England by religious
persecution and settled in Braintree, Mass. In 1635."

Mary Bliss, a daughter of Thomas, was the wife of Cornet
Joseph Parsons (see Vol. i, pp. 40 and 44), and the mother of
George Bliss was Martha^ Parsons in the 5th generation from
Cornet Joseph. His youth was like most farmer boys of his
time, but at sixteen he was a clerk in a dry goods store in New
Haven, at twenty-one he was a partner with Mr. Sanford the
proprietor of the store, and whose daughter he married in 1840.
In 1844 he went to New York City and became a member of the
dry goods firm of Phelps, Chittenden & Bliss, of 12 Wall St. In
1850 it became the firm of Chittenden, Bliss & Co., at 73 Broad-
way, and in 1853 with C. G. Landon and James H. Dunham and
others was formed the firm of George Bliss & Co., at Park Place,
and later at 340 Broadway and which later became the firm of
Dunham, Buckley & Co. In 1869 Mr. Bliss retired from the dry
goods trade, and with Levi Parsons Morton formed the banking
firm of Morton, Bliss & Co. (see Vol. i, page 234), in which
firm he continued until his death. He was a director and vice
president of the U. S. Trust Co., and a director of the D. L. &
W. R. R., Greenwich Savings Bank, the St. Paul, Minneapolis
& Manitoba Railway, the Manhattan El. Rway., the Cleveland,
Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis R. R., the Mutual Life Ins. Co.,
the Atlantic Mutual Ins. Co., the Continental Ins. Co., the U. S.
Lloyds and the Western Union Tel. Co. He was also interested
in and gave much attention to the Woman's Hospital, the Hospital
for Ruptured and Crippled, the Protestant Half Orphan Asylum
and the Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society. He built St.
John's Episcopal Church in Northampton and another church for
the use of those in the Poor House on Blackvvell's Island, New
York City. In religion, an Episcopalian ; in politics, a Repub-
lican, but not a partisan. In all things a man of marked intelli-
gence and integrity, and who exerted a large influence upon the
life of New York during his active career. In one of the notices
of his death appear these words :

"George Bliss was never other than a modest, unostentatious
man, caring very little for what the world calls society, preserving
his own quiet but decided individuality, and level-headed man-
hood, among all the honors, emoluments and flattering attentions

l82 THE PARSONS FAMILY

that great wealth brings, and his heart never grew cold and callous
to the needs of those less fortunate, general benevolence being a
marked characteristic."

Mr. Bliss was a member of the Union League, Lawyers,
Century, Union and Metropolitan Clubs, the New England Soci-
ety, the American Museum of Natural History and the Metro-
politan Museum of Art.

versity of Georgia; was ordained in 1835 '^^ Ramah Church,
N. C. In 1844 he was pastor of the Sugar Creek Church. In
1845 he removed to Rome, Ga., and organized a Presbyterian
Church there, of which he was pastor until 1856, when he
became President of the Rome Female College, and its pro-
prietor in 1863. He died Sept. 21, 1892. Mrs. Caldwell was
educated at the Troy (N. Y.) Female Seminary under Mrs.
Emma Willard, and became a teacher in Caswell County, N. C,
in a boarding school for girls, conducted by Rev. Mr. Richard,
where she met Rev. J. M. M. Caldwell, whom she married in
1844... A year later they removed to Rome, Ga., the chief town
of Cherokee (now Floyd County), from which the Indians had
only recently been removed to the reservation. She was a woman
of rare intellectual powers and great administrative ability. She
devoted her life to teaching; hrst in a private school for girls,
and then for more than thirty years in the Rome Female
College in what was practically a frontier settlement, and it
would be hard to overestimate the part played by this noble and
cultured Christian lady in the upbuilding of the whole section
of the State of Georgia, in which her life work was spent. Her
school was a centre of refinement and culture, and when the
College was organized it soon became a power in the land, and
the rude pioneer hamlet grew into a prosperous and cultured
city. Her work extended over forty laborious years, and she
entered into rest in the scene of her labors at Rome, Ga., June
8, 18S6, in the midst of hundreds of grateful hearts who at-
tributed to her influence, example and tuition much of their
own happiness and success in life.

On Oct. 6, 1903, there was dedicated at Alfred, Me. the
"Parsons Memorial Library" to the memory of Edwin^ Parsons,
built and endowed by his brothers, Rev. John^ Parsons, George^
Parsons and Charles'^ Parsons. As part of the exercises an
address was delivered by Hon. D. H. Chamberlain, ex-Governor
of South Carolina and for many years the legal adviser and
personal friend of Edwin Parsons, from which address I have
taken the liberty of making extracts indicative of his life and
character.

"Edwin Parsons was born at Alfred, Me., Apr. 25, 1823. His
descent was in direct line and in the seventh generation from
Joseph Parsons, who coming from England settled in Springfield
in 1636. His ancestry includes many notable names in New
England history — an ancestry marked through all its generations
by the strong and sterling qualities of industry, perseverance,
enterprise, self reliance and public spirit. He attended the public
schools of his native town, with a few weeks attendance at the
Alfred Academy.

"In 1841 at the age of eighteen he spent a year as clerk in a
mercantile house in Boston. A year later in 1842 he was for a
year in the employ of Joseph Story Fay at Savannah, Ga., in the
firm of Padelford & Fay, cotton merchants.

"In 1847 ^t Savannah he became connected with the firm of
Carhart and Scott, and three years later the firm was succeeded
by that of Edwin Parsons and Company, a cotton commission
house. He continued in this business till 1856 when he removed
to New York where he remained in business for nearly forty
years. He died at New York August 21, 1895.

SEVENTH GENERATION 24 1

"Mr. Parsons was a practical business man. What he did he
did with his own hands, of his own force, and by his own brain.
He was as clearly self made as any one at this period of time
can be.

"I do not know that circumstances specially hindered Edwin
Parsons. He had perfect health, clean habits, fine judgment and
a friendly spirit, but he had absolutely no place or standing in
the society he entered, except what he made for himself ; no doors
swung on golden or other hinges to welcome him ; alone, unaided
except from within, he made his way. The success he sought
he gained, gained it because he bent his energies steadily through
full fifty years to his task, the task he had himself imposed.

"And when success was won the charm and beauty of the
man's character stood revealed. The simplicity of personal man-
ner, the native kindliness of spirit, the unostentatious helpfulness
of hand and heart; in a word the great strong gentle elements
which were in him, when a poor boy he began his career, remained
with him and beautified his character and life to the close.

"Fixed, inflexible business principles and habits colored his
thoughts, and moulded his opinions, in many, if not all directions.
One of the most dominating convictions was that of mercantile
honor, the sacredness of contracts, duly and fairly made; the
obligation of every man, at whatever personal hardship or sacri-
fice, to pay his honest debts.

"These rules and principles he extended equally to the Nation,
to states, to municipalities, to all corporate and business organi-
zations. The questions underlying these principles, their many
applications, the unnumbered subterfuges contrived to avoid their
grip, especially after the (Civil) war, all were made matters of
profound attention and study by Mr. Parsons. They led him
into much long-drawn litigation. So great and widely expe-
rienced a lawyer as Benjamin R. Curtis once told me that he had
rarely, if ever, had a client who understood his cases so thor-
oughly, and Judge Curtis confessed that in one most important
case once argued before the Supreme Court at Washington and
decided adversely to him, was induced by Mr. Parsons' masterly
analysis of the case written out and printed for Judge Curtis'
use, to apply for a reargument, which was granted, and the first
decision was annulled and one precisely opposite in tenor and
effect was then made.

242 THE PARSONS FAMILY

"His efforts in this class of cases were indefatigable and
extended over a period of full twenty-five years after the war;
and the cases thus championed by him grew out of his own direct
business interests, and were each and all sternly carried by him
to final decision.

"These efforts, crowned sometimes with disaster, but oftener
with success, had a wider interest to Mr. Parsons than his personal
pecuniary stake. He wished to see the law, the constitutional
law of our land enforced and vindicated, as it at last was enforced
and vindicated, partly in his lifetime and partly since.

"I had the good fortune about the year 1885 to read a private
letter addressed to Mr. Parsons by an old business acquaintance
for fifty years known well and honorably in business circles in
Savannah and Boston — the late Joseph Story Fay, of which I
have carried this passage in exact memory through the inter-
vening years : 'I admire your long and costly fight against the
repudiators. You ought to be by this time a good constitutional
lawyer yourself. I hear that Judge Curtis says you are. At
any rate I do not know another man in the whole country who
has individually done so much as you have to make reliance on
public faith possible.'

"This practical business man, ever following so steadily, I
might say so doggedly, his business concerns, had other than
business interests ; other ideals than mere wealth ; other concep-
tions of the chief end of life than those that ruled in the circles
into which his own pursuits drew him. My familiar acquaintance
with him gives me the knowledge and right to say that there
were at least three broad interests, or directions of thought, which
appealed to his nature as well as to his best judgment. I mean
Education, Art and Foreign Travel. Years of ordinary business
or social contact — such superficial acquaintance as large cities,
devoted for the most part to business, or to costly gaieties, can
or do only give — might not have discovered these qualities of
Mr. Parsons, the more need and propriety that on setting up this
memorial of him, his real character, beyond what was apparent
to all, should be disclosed.

"When I speak of his interest in Education, I mean mental
education of all kinds — not alone what we often loosely call prac-
tical education, nor what we, with perhaps equal inaccuracy call
liberal education, but education of whatever sort, that trains the

o
c 5

SEVENTH GENERATION 243

mind, braces the will, informs the intellect, and enlarges the
mental outlook. A well educated person was what he aimed at,
whether trained by experience alone, or in the schools; by the
discipline of life's hard contacts and crosses, or by the discipline
of linguistic and mathematical courses of Study. It gives me
here genuine pleasure to record that on the subject of college
education so-called, he was never led astray by the cheap notion
that such training is impractical, and does not help to success in
business life. Over and over I have heard him say: 'The best
education is none too good' ; 'Give the boy all the chances for
education that he will improve, and then put him to work. If
there is any good in him, he will have the tools for his work
and his good qualities will come out' ; 'Never cut short the
education of a boy or girl, unless necessity compels it.'

"Perhaps a rarer (I use the word here in both its senses)
quality or attainment of Mr. Parsons was his love and knowledge
of Art, by which I mean works of painting and sculpture. He
has told me that for several years closely following the war, he
made a study, here and in Europe, of Art, more particularly
paintings.

"He was not a collector of works of Art. He once remarked
to me: *I think it rather a misfortune when great pictures fall
into private hands. Turner's "Slave Ship" in a private parlor on
Fifth Avenue is an example. I don't like the picture, though
Ruskin does ; but it ought to be in a public gallery.'

"In the matter of Art Mr. Parsons' habitual modesty was
specially in evidence. Not only did he not intrude the subject;
he was with difficulty drawn into conversation, still less into dis-
cussion, on the topic. This reticent modesty was, of course, the
clearest token of the deep hold art had upon him. It would have
been easy to have moved with a crowd, to have been known as a
connoisseur or collector, but to cultivate art in silence and for its
own sake, is a quality or achievement as unique as it is admirable.

"Of the value of Foreign Travel a word should now be said.
It was not till he was past thirty years of age that he had the
privilege himself. His complete devotion to business kept him
from this, to his permanent great regret.

"I recall as if it were spoken but yesterday, or to-day, his
remark to me in 1878 when at the age of forty-three I was about
to make my first visit to Europe, — 'I wish' said he with feeling —

244 THE PARSONS FAMILY

'that when I had made my first ten thousand dollars, I had taken
one thousand of it for a visit to Europe.' I once asked him,
as he was preparing for a trip through British America whether
he had taken European travel by design before American travel.
He replied that with him it had been very much a matter of
convenience, the great American transcontinental railways not
having been built in the days of his early European travels ; 'but'
he added, 'I have thought of your question, and I have formed
the opinion that European travel should come, to some extent,
first. My reason is that it not only makes us- broader in our
views to see other lands, but it gives a standard of comparison,
makes us see what is good in our own, and what is bad.' To
this he added with a shrewd smile 'I never knew a really good
American, ***** who was spoiled or hurt by going
to Europe.'

"The life I have recalled so faintly and imperfectly was an
open book, to be read of all men who cared to read. It was a
straight life, without indirections, or concealments, or false pre-
tences. It was a modest, but self-reliant, life. It was a life
successful according to its great aim. It was a beneficent life
while it was being lived, and its beneficence will shine more and
more as men come more and more to feel and know that the
plain virtues — industry, integrity, honor, good faith, generosity,
kindliness of spirit, practical helpfulness to others — entitle the
most unassuming of men to the lasting remembrance of his
fellow-men."

of George Parsons was spent in Alfred attending school winters
and assisting his father on the farm summers until he was
seventeen years old. Then he spent a year with his uncle Dr.
Usher Parsons, in Providence, R. I., where he continued his
studies.

GEORGE'
i8j6-

PARSOXS

-1907

SEVENTH GENERATION 245

Throughout boyhood and his whole business life George Par-
sons was closely associated with his older brother Edwin. In
1848 Edwin Parsons entered the office of Carhart & Scott, cotton
merchants of Savannah, Ga., and in 1845 George Parsons joined
his brother in the same office.

In 1846 Mr. Scott having moved to Macon, Ga., the firm took
the name of Edwin Parsons & Co. The firm prospering, it was
decided in 1856 to open an office in the North ; — Edwin Parsons
took charge of the New York office and the Savannali firm then
took the name of George Parsons & Co.

They were the principal owners of the Bank of Middle Georgia
(Macon, Ga.) and by forwarding to it large amounts of gold
enabled it to maintain specie payments in 1857 when nearly every
other bank suspended such payments.

In 1861 before the beginning of the Civil War the funds of
the bank were forwarded to Baring Brothers in London, and to
New York ; and, due to this foresight, the Bank of Middle
Georgia when wound up after the war, redeemed all its bills and
obligations and paid its stockholders two hundred dollars for each
one hundred dollars of stock — a result not equalled by any other
Southern bank.

In 1861 war being imminent, the brothers contracted their
credits and invested their funds largely in cotton, which was
shipped to Liverpool. The Savannah office was closed in 1861
and not again reopened ; the New York office remained open
during the war.

On December 13, 1865, Mr. Parsons was married in Fall River,
Mass., to Sarah Elizabeth Eddy, daughter of Lucius Junius and
Louisa Maria (Pratt) Eddy, of Eddyville, Middleboro, Mass.,
who was born January 12, 1838. They had three sons and four
daughters.

After the Civil War Edwin and George Parsons made their
headquarters in New York City and gave their attention to their
railroad and mining interests.

They were interested in the development of the iron district of
Michigan, and particularly in the Champion and the Republic
mines.

At an early period in the development of the iron and coal
district surrounding Birmingham, Ala., George Parsons became
interested in that section and was a strong believer in its great

246 THE PARSONS FAMILY

future— a belief which has been fully justified by the marvelous
growth of Birmingham. He had interests in several coal com^
panics, and also in the Sloss-Sheffield Steel & Iron Company, one
of the largest of the iron producing companies.

George Parsons for many years was President of the street
railway companies operating the principal city and suburban rail-
ways of Savannah, Ga., and under his charge this was one of
the early systems to adopt electricity as a motive power.

In 1902 Mr. Parsons became interested in the development of
Sheffield, Ala., and built there an interurban railway, a light and
power plant and water works for Sheffield and Tuscumbia, and
in connection with this work he actively assisted in forwarding
the development of the great water power which exists in the
Tennessee River near Sheffield.

He was a director of the Rome, Watertown & Ogdensburg
Railroad ; the South Carolina & Georgia Railroad ; the Virginia-
Midland Railway; the Sloss-Sheffield Steel & Iron Co., and
various other successful companies.

Mr, Parsons as a young man was very fond of hunting and
fishing, and often went for such purposes to Wassaw Island on
the coast of Georgia, near Savannah.

Later on he bought this island and built there a winter home,
and as many of his business interests were in the South, each
year for over forty years he spent a portion of his time on
Wassaw.

Mr. Parsons was a genial man with a keen sense of humor
and enjoyed the companionship of his friends. He was especially
fond of his relatives and throughout his life kept in touch with
many of his cousins who had moved to distant parts of the
country.

Although much of his time was necessarily spent in other parts
of the country, Kennebunk was his honie and it was there that he
spent as much of his time as he could — interested in the town and
its inhabitants and enjoying the companionship of his friends
and neighbors.

Mr. Parsons lived to complete his 81 st year.

On the first day of December, 1907, he became ill with pneu-
monia and passed away December 4, 1907.

A man's character can be best judged from the opinions of
those with whom he has been associated, and the compiler of this

SEVENTH GENERATION 247

book wishes to include in this sketch the following extracts from
resolutions passed by the citizens of Sheffield, Ala., at a public
meeting called to take action on the death of Mr. Parsons :

"Be it resolved by the citizens of Sheffield, Ala., that in the
death of Mr. George Parsons our town has lost a wise counselor
and friend; that his life, combining honesty with success, and
modesty with greatness, is w^orthy of emulation.

"That his character and his high and generous ideals of busi-
ness integrity as reflected in the dealings of The Sheffield Company
and its allied institutions, have added moral tone to Sheffield,
and have elevated our standard of citizenship; and these will
remain as a rich legacy to our people, though he has passed from
among us.

"We recognize and deplore the great loss to this community,
and we wish to express our high admiration of his character.
Mr. Parsons' connection with our little city has been in every
direction for its upbuilding and betterment, he has shown himself
our strong and true friend. His association with the history of
Sheffield has been a blessing to all.

"The simplicity of his character and the modesty of his conduct
stamped him as a man of unusual greatness. As a community
we mourn his loss and tender to his family our sincere sorrow."

Mrs. Parsons survived her husband for eleven years and died
in Kennebunk, Me., October 28, 1918.

The following was written by Margaret Deland with reference
to Mrs. Parsons :

"A gentle, generous and gracious presence has been taken away
from us. On Wednesday as her friends and neighbors gathered
under her hospitable roof, and then followed the flower laden
casket through the mist to the old cemetery in Kennebunk, some
of us were saying to ourselves 'We are all poorer because Mrs.
Parsons has died,' but might have added 'We are all richer
because she has lived.' Her justice, her kindness, her truthful-
ness, her modesty of mind, her gallant patience, are still ours,
not only to remember, but to incorporate into our own lives.

"I do not think she realized how fully she gave us these gifts
of the spirit; — noble and simple people rarely do realize how
much they mean to their fellows.

248 THE PARSONS FAMILY

"Certainly Mrs. Parsons did not know that because of her
courage, some of us who knew her will find it easier to be brave ;
because of her straightforwardness, we shall be franker ; because
of her gay patience in these long weary months of illness, we
shall be ashamed to complain of small discomforts; because she
never thought of self, perhaps we, too, may be more unselfish.
In her humility she never understood the richness of this gift
to us, of high example.

"But that group of people in the cemetery standing in the
mist under the leafless trees, and all the people in our little com-
munity, and many, many people in other communities (for her
life was a very wide one) — we at any rate know what that
example was and is.

"We know with what serenity and faith she fulfilled the three
Great Requirements — to do justice, to love mercy and to walk
humbly before the Lord our God."

221 Charles^ Parsons (William*', William^, Rev. Joseph*,
Rev. Joseph^, Esq. Joseph-, Cornet Joseph^), son of William^
and Mary^ (Parsons) Parsons, b. at Alfred, Me., Feb. 6, 1829;
m. Oct. 25, 1855, Sarah Johnson Shepley, daughter of Rev. David
and Myra (Nott) Shepley. He d. in New York City, Oct. 18,
1904. Mrs. Parsons d. June 22, 19 14, at Kennebunk, Me. He
spent his boyhood chiefly in Alfred and Kennebunkport, Me.,
receiving his early education in the local schools and at Yarmouth
(Me.) Academy.

In 1850 he went to Providence where he completed his educa-
tion, residing with his uncle. Dr. Usher^ Parsons, of that city.

Charles Parsons, at the age of 23, started on a trip to Cuba.
The steamer touched at Key West to deliver the mail, and he
landed there and remained in Key West a month.

About the time he landed an English vessel, the Cambyses,
bound from New Orleans to Liverpool with a cargo of cotton,
put into Key West on account of the illness of her captain, and
while making port she struck a reef. Although she sustained
no injury she was condemned by the islanders, dismantled and
sold in several parcels.

Mr. Parsons through agents purchased the ship, and in a few
days had the vessel refitted, purchased a cargo of cotton at
auction, put it on board, obtained American papers for the Cam-
byses and dispatched her under the American flag to New York
where his agents, Brigham & Carhart, sold both vessel and cargo
at a profit. The parties instrumental in having the vessel ille-
gally condemned at Key West were much annoyed that a young
stranger should purchase and send the vessel away.

This was an early evidence of Mr. Parsons' quickness to
grasp business matters.

During the winter of 1853-54 he resided in New Orleans and
was engaged in shipping Southern products to Northern markets.
From 1854 until 1861 he was engaged in the commission business
in Savannah, Ga., and two days before Savannah was blockaded
he dispatched three vessels to foreign ports and the same night

250 THE PARSONS FAMILY

left with his family for the North by the only railroad that had
not been destroyed by the Confederate army.

In 1862 he entered into partnership with his brother Edwin
Parsons in New York City where he afterwards resided. In
1880 Mr. Parsons was chairman of the Purchase Committee of
the New Jersey Midland Railway Company, which bought the
road at the sale under foreclosure. He reorganized it success-
fully and was its president for about a year. In 1883 he was
elected president of the Rome, Watertown & Ogdensburg Rail-
road, which office he held until his death.

His success in the management of this road was marked. In
five years from the time he took charge the road was entirely
relaid with steel and the property brought to trunk line standard.
While under his management, the mileage w^as increased by the
purchase of the Syracuse, Phoenix & Oswego Railway, the build-
ing of the Norwood & Montreal R. R., the lease and consolidation
of the Utica & Black River R. R. and the purchase of the
Rochester & Ontario Belt Railway.

When Mr. Parsons took charge of the Rome, Watertown &
Ogdensburg Railroad it barely earned its fixed charges. In four
years the company was earning 10% on the stock, dividing
6% among its stockholders and putting the balance into permanent
betterments. The annual earnings per mile increased from $3500
to about $6000, and under Mr. Parsons' management the stock
became a regular 6% dividend security.

In 1892 he was elected president of the New York & New
England Railroad Company, which office he held for a year. In
1894 with his brother George Parsons he purchased from a
Reorganization Committee the South Carolina Railway, and
organized a new company under the name of South Carolina &
Georgia Railroad Company, which Mr. Parsons took charge of
as president. In 1896 he was elected chairman of a committee
to reorganize the Ogdensburg & Lake Champlain R. R. Company
and in March, 1897, he was appointed receiver of the road. He
was also one of the committee appointed in March, 1897, to
reorganize the Brooklyn, the Union and the Seaside Railroads of
Brooklyn and New York.

Mr. Parsons was naturally a reticent man, he made no boasts
of his achievements. He quietly met the issues of life as they
arose, always adjusting his talent and energies to the exigencies
of duty and thereby mastering the vast majority of circumstances.

SEVENTH GENERATION 25 I

Mr. Parsons was a member of the Lawyers' Club, the New
York Chamber of Commerce, the New York Historical Society,
the American Geographical Society, and several other similar
associations. For twenty-five years he was an attendant of the
Rev. Doctor Howard Crosby's church and served many years
on the Board of Trustees. He was a member of the New York
Stock Exchange for many years.

Mr. Parsons' New York home was at the corner of 40th Street
and Park Avenue ; his country residence was at Crescent Surf,
Kennebunk, Me.

SEVENTH GENERATION 283

Home Insurance Co. of New York, and was connected with it
for more than fifty years. He became Assistant Secretary,
1865-1867; Vice-President, 18S6; President, 1901 ; resigned in
1904, and was elected Chairman of the Board of Directors,
which position he held until his death in 1909. He had a na-
tional reputation as an authority on fire insurance. Among the
many offices of honor and trust held by him were President
of the Tariff Association of New York, President of the Na-
tional Board of Fire Underwriters, President of the Association
of Western Underw-riters, President of the New York Board of
Fire Underwriters, Chairman of the Executive Committee of
the American Missionary Association from 1881 to 1892. He
was a member of the Lotus Club, the City Club, the Chamber
of Commerce, the Board of Trade and Transportation, the New
England Society, the Sons of the Revolution, The Metropolitan
Museum of Art, the Society of Colonial Wars, the Society of
Mayflower Descendants, the Order of Founders and Patriots
and the Society of Descendants of Colonial Governors. But
his activities and influence wer.i not confined to business. From
adult years to his death he was an active and earnest Christian,
being for forty-four years a member of Broadway Tabernacle,
its Treasurer from 1869 to 1878, and a Deacon from 1878 to
his death. He owed much to sturdy and pious New England
stock. His father. Rev. Royal Washburn, was for many years
pastor of the Congregational Church of Amherst. His mother
was a daughter of Rev. David Parsons, D.D., a predecessor of
his father as pastor of the Amherst Church.

The following extract from an obituary notice gives a con-
temporary estimate of his life and character:

"Opposite and apparently contradictory elements were in
him united. He was gentle, but he was as strong as he was
gentle. He was tender, but he was also remarkably firm.
Where principle was at stake he was unflinching and absolutely
inflexible. Masculine virility and feminine sensitiveness were
blended in him. He had that winsomeness and charm which it
is so easy to feel and so difficult to define. Always affable
and courteous, he made friends everywhere. There was a
fineness of moral texture in him, and a refinement of spirit
which reported itself in his face and voice. His mind was

284 THE PARSONS FAMILY

cultured, his heart sympathetic and loving, his spirit radiant.
His daily life proved that he had been with Him who is the
fairest of ten thousand, the one altogether lovely."

Brewster Hazen ; b. Feb. 24, 1830; d. Dec. 11, 1912, in her
83d year, at Salt Lake City, Utah, where she and her husband
were visiting at the home of their son Arthur H. Parsons. She
was a lineal descendant of William Brewster, who came in the
Mayflozuer, and a woman of rare intellectual attainments.

(From the Eleventh (1910) Edition of the Encyclopaedia
Britannica.)

William Brewster, born in Scrooby, Nottinghamshire, Eng.,
about 1566. In 1606 he, with others, organized at Scrooby a
Separatist Church. Because of persecution, and in 1608, he, with
other Separatists, removed to Holland to enjoy greater freedom
of worship. At Leiden, in 1609, he was chosen ruling Elder of
the Congregation. There, too, they were persecuted at the in-
stance of the British Embassador, Sir Dudley Carleton. Brew-
ster, however, returned to England, and, with Robert Curchman,
obtained in London, on behalf of his associates, a land patent
from the Virginia Company, and in 1620 he emigrated to America
in the Mayflower, and was one of the founders of the Plymouth
Colony. Here, besides continuing to act until his death as
ruling Elder, he was also — regularly until the arrival of the
first Pastor, Ralph Smith, in 1629, and irregularly thereafter —
a "teacher," preaching "both powerfully and profitably to the
great contentment of ye hearers and their comfortable Edifica-
tion." By many he is regarded as pre-eminently the leader of
the Pilgrims. He probably died April 10, 1644, and has been
known in history as "Elder Brewster."

Cyrus Mason'^ Parsons spent his early life in Chesterfield and
Worthington, Mass., where he received his early education.
He was a teacher in Charlton, Maiden Bridge and Syracuse,
N. Y., and later in Indiana and Iowa. About 1850 he located
at Big Rock, Iowa, about twenty-five miles northwest of Daven-

port, and two years later returned to Worthington to marry
the waiting bride. The same day (Sept. 2, 1852) his brother,
Francis Janes^ Parsons, married AureHa Blackman, and the two
couples immediately started for their Iowa homes, going by
railroads to Chicago and from there by canal boat and ox teams.
Their first home was the usual log house, but followed in two
years by a more comfortable frame dwelling, and there they
lived until 1861, when they sold and bought a new prairie farm
nearer the settlement at Big Rock. There they lived for nearly
forty years, and in these two homes their seven children were
born and taught to love God, their neighbor and their country;
and there all who came beneath their roof were welcomed to a
generous hospitality. Here he was Justice of the Peace, a Dea-
con in the Congregational Church, a School Director, the up-
right citizen, and the intelligent and successful farmer. In 1899
the old farm was sold and they lived for a time in Pasadena,
Cal., then a brief residence in Tabor, Iowa, and in Salt Lake
City, Utah, and then returned to California, settling in Clare-
mont in 1903. The fiftieth anniversary of their marriage was
celebrated in Tabor, Iowa, and the sixtieth in Pasadena at the
Hotel Maryland, attended by about sixty relatives and friends.
His ninetieth birthday, which was after his wife's death, was
celebrated at the home of his niece, Mrs. Mary Amanda (Par-
sons) Gates, in South Pasadena. He had a marked personality,
patriarchal in appearance, dignified, but kindly and cordial in
manner, and these periodical gatherings were but the natural
expression of the kindly, reverent and loving regard of his de-

The following is an extract from an obituary in a Jamestown
paper :

"Mr. Parsons was born in Waterloo, N. Y. In Geneva he
was married to Anna, daughter of William Giffing, the well-
known silversmith forty-three years ago. After his marriage he
removed to Toronto, Ont., where he was the first manager of
the Montreal Telegraph Co. In 1848 he removed to Buffalo
and took control of a telegraph office, afterwards, at the solici-
tation of the late W. G. Fargo, entering the employ of the
A.merican Express Co., with which he remained about thirty
years, until ill health compelled him to cease labor, ever since
which he has been on the Company's retired list and pensioned.

"Several years ago Mr. Parsons came to Jamestown where
he has since resided, and where his kindness of heart and recti-
tude have won him a large number of friends. He leaves as a
heritage to his children a record for honesty and usefulness
which has never been assailed."

Extracts from an obituary of Maj. William
Theodore Parsons in a Buffalo paper:

"The deceased was well-known among bankers,
but was better known in local military circles. For
many years previous to the failure of the Bank of
Commerce, about five years ago, he was connected
with that institution as corresponding secretary, and
was a member of the Bankers' Association. He
served in the National Guard of this State for
almost twenty years, starting in the 65th Regt., as
private, and finally attaining command of a battalion,
with the rank of Major. ... At the outbreak of
the Spanish American War, he was among the first
to volunteer and went with his regiment to Camp
Alger, . . . and later as a regimental quarter-
master in the 202d Regt., and was the only com-
missioned officer who was not in the hospital. His
splendid physique sustained him throughout his stay
in Cuba, but the seeds of the disease that resulted
in his death are believed to have been sown there."

From a history of Easthampton, Mass., by Payson W. Lyman
(1866) we get this information as to the Janes family:

William Janes, a native of Cambridge, England, came from
Essex, England, to New Haven, Conn., probably about 1638,
and in 1654-5 was one of the early settlers of Northampton,
Mass. His son Benjamin settled in Easthampton about 1700.
The old "Janes-Parsons" house in Easthampton was probably
erected by a son of Benjamin, and the father of Obediah Janes,

EIGHTH GENERATION 46 1

who was a school teacher, and of EHsha Janes, who had three
daughters: Sarah, who married AsaheP Parsons (vol. i, p. 157) ;
Rachel, who married JoeP Parsons, and Mercy, who married
Capt. Thaddeus*^ Parsons (see pages 114-115). The first school
in Easthampton was kept by Obediah Janes in the front room
at the left of the front door of the old house. It was later
occupied by Capt. Thaddeus*^ Parsons, and many of his descend-
ants were born in it, and it continued in the Parsons family
until it was torn down.

484 THE PARSONS FAMILY

Mass., Florence Sophia Crosby; b. at Williamsburg, Mass., Aug.
I, 1863; daughter of Joshua and Sophia Bartlett (Bodman)
Crosby of Williamsburg. Mr. Parsons spent his early life on
the Iowa farm, going to the country schools the winter and
spring terms, and when older only the winter terms, as from his
eleventh year he in many ways was a full farm hand, and at
sixteen, because his father had suffered a sunstroke, almost the
entire care and labor fell to his lot. At sixteen he united with
the Congregational Church at Big Rock. He attended a few
terms at Lenox College, Hopkinton, Iowa, and then for five years
was a successful teacher. In the fall of 1879 he was in the
grain business at Sidney. 111. In May, 1881, he went to Salt
Lake City, Utah, and became the general storekeeper of the Rio
Grand Western Railroad during its construction. On the com-
pletion of the Railroad, in the spring of 1882, he went into the
book and stationery business in Ogden, Utah, with a branch, in
July, 1882, in Salt Lake City, and this business continued with
marked success until 1898. He had been an active Y. M. C. A.
worker during these years, and accepted the General Secretary-
ship of the Pasadena, California, Association, in which he was
very successful for four years. In April, 1909, he organized the
Federation of State Societies of Southern California, of which
he has since been secretai-y, with headquarters at Los Angeles,
giving his entire attention to this work. It includes over two
hundred societies. He has been active in church, Y. M. C. A.,
and Christian Endeavor work in the various offices of clerk,
secretary, deacon, elder, trustee and director, in different denomi-
nations. In early life he was a republican in politics, but later an
active vrorker for prohibition. His activity in the many civic,
religious, and charitable works has made him well known and
highly esteemed throughout the entire sphere of his activities.
