General Notes: Husband - James Parshall

---

The Parshall family is one of the oldest families in America, their English ancestry reaching back in unbroken line to the time of the Norman Conquest of England. The line of descent in this country is revealed in "The History of the Parshall Family, from the Conquest of England by William of Normandy, A. D. 1066, to the Close of the Nineteenth Century," by James Clark Parshall, Syracuse, New York, 1903.

The immigrant ancestor of this family, he was born in England about the middle of the seventeenth century, there being no record extant of the exact date. He died at Southold, Suffolk County, New York. The fact that he died about twenty-three years after his marriage suggests that in all probability he did not reach a very advanced age.
The first record regarding him in the colonies is a deed under date of December 12, 1679, he having been at that time a resident of the Isle of Wight, or Gardner's Island as it was later called, in the township of East Hampton.
