Parmelee Family Connections

This family is not directly related to us. I include this partial descent list due to the frequent intermarriage with our family. I have left out most of the children, including only those who married into our lines.

John Parmelee was born about 1612 in England, and died 31 Jan 1687/88 in Guilford (New Haven) Connecticut. He came to Boston in 1635 on the “Elizabeth and Anne”. John married three times, and children from two marriages merge with our family.
John married first, probably about 1637, Rebecca ___. Rebecca died Sep 1651. Many sources have her as Rebecca Eaton, but this is disputed and probably wrong. It is carried forward from some old genealogies, which identified her as an Eaton in order to force a link to one of the early governors.

John and Rebecca may have had several children, but we only know of one:

A. Nathaniel Parmelee was born about 1645 in Guilford (New Haven) Connecticut, and died 16 Jan 1676 in Albany (Albany) New York. He married 24 Oct 1668, Sarah French, daughter of Thomas French (1620-1679) and Mary Button (1622-1660).
Nathaniel and Sarah had several children, one of whom is listed under Sarah.

John married second, probably around 1652, Anna ___, widow of William Plaine (~1620-1649). Anna was born probably around 1620 and died Mar 1658 in Guilford (New Haven) Connecticut. Her first husband was executed for “corrupting boys”. Anna had several children from her first marriage, of whom we are interested in her daughter, Hannah Plaine. Hannah marries her stepfather John, below. We don’t know of any children from the marriage of John and Anna.

John married third, in 1659, his stepdaughter Hannah Plaine, daughter of William Plaine and Anna ___. Hannah was born about 1640 and died in 1688.
John and Hannah had nine children (John, Joshua, Caleb, Isaac, Hannah, Stephen, Job, Priscilla, Joel), of whom we list:

B. John Parmelee was born 25 Nov 1659 in Guilford (New Haven) Connecticut, and died 21 Mar 1724 in Guilford. He married in 1681 in Guilford, Mary Mason. Mary was born about 1660 and died 24 Apr 1725 in Guilford (New Haven) Connecticut.
