The surname Daly was first found in the barony of Magheradernon, in County Westmeath and traditionally claim descent from Eanna Ceannselach (Ian Kinsella), King of Leinster. They became Chiefs of Muintir Bhaire in the south west of Cork, and later in the north west of the same county, largely in O'Keefe's country. A distinct sept was found in Desmond as early as 1165. "Cuconnachta-na-Scoil O'Daly (or "Cuconnachta of the Schools") was the first of this family that assumed the surname. The spelling and overall form of Irish names often vary considerably. The original Gaelic form of the name Daley is O Dalaigh, from the word "dalach," which comes from "dail," which means "assembly." The Daly family motto is "Deo fidelis et Regi," meaning "Loyal to God and king."¹
Our ancestry can be traced back to JOHN DALY, who married CATHERINE ELLIS in Dublin, Ireland, sometime around 1830. Dublin was at this time the largest city in Ireland, situated on Dublin Bay at the mouth of the River Liffey, in the province of Leinster, bordered on the south by the Wicklow Mountains range. The English (Protestant)-ruled Ireland of the 1800s featured a rapidly increasing population, who were mainly Catholic, like John and Catherine. For centuries British laws had deprived Ireland's Catholics of their rights to worship, vote, speak their own Irish language and even own land. In 1801, England crushed various revolts and abolished the Irish Parliament. The Acts of Union in transferred the Irish seat of government from Dublin to London, creating the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and the city suffered a period of decline. The rich abandoned the city and the lower classes moved in, looking for manufacturing work. So while the economy collapsed, the population grew higher than any town in the empire except London. The finest residences soon fell into squalor, as new owners of the buildings crammed in massive numbers of poor into the former homes of earls and bishops. Poverty increased. Even the cemeteries became overcrowded. There was a lack of sewers, so the city relied on cesspits and smelled. In 1809, a Paving Board was established to erect lamps, clean and pave the streets, and install sewers, but the city in which we first find our Daly ancestors was not a pleasant place.

The Dalys attended the Church of St Nicholas of Myra (Without), an Irish Roman Catholic church on Francis Street, in Dublin. The site had been used as a place of worship as far back as the 12th century, but had been rebuilt in 1829 and was dedicated to Saint Nicholas in 1835. The children of John and Catherine Daly were all baptized there around this time.
Ireland had an agricultural-based economy outside of Dublin, which proved to be disastrous in the 1840s after a couple of failed potato harvests. Potatoes were the only crop that could flourish on the minuscule farm plots doled out to the peasants by wealthy British Protestant landowners. The Irish were consuming seven million tons of potatoes each year, but now a virulent pathogen rendered them inedible and they bled a red-brown mucus. With famine raging, the Irish were actually denied food by their British overlords: Crops like wheat, oats and barley were exported to England under armed guard while the Irish people grew them and couldn't eat. Thousands died of starvation and disease, while thousands more left the country—often bound for North America. The children of John and Catherine Daly would be among them.
CHILDREN OF JOHN DALY AND CATHERINE ELLIS |
| PATRICK ELLIS DALY was born in 1830 in Dublin, Ireland, and baptized on 5 Aug 1830 at St. Nicholas' (Without) on Francis St. in Dublin to "Joannis Daly and Catharina Ellis." He sailed to America and on 18 Oct 1864 he married SUSAN F "LUCY" SIMS (1851-1901) in Greene, Missouri. They had the following children: Catherine "Kate" (1866-1903), John (1867-1868), William Henry (1869-1924) and Mary A Daly (1870-1937). Patrick died on 9 Jan 1876 in Springfield, Greene County, Missouri, and is buried at the Hazelwood Cemetery. |
| ANNA DALY was born in 1831 in Dublin and baptized on 22 Feb 1831 to "Joannis and Catharina Daly" at St. Nicholas' (Without) on Francis St. in Dublin. She married (1) JOHN MICHAEL LYNCH (b. 1830) and they settled in Fort Edward, Washington County, New York, where they had Ellen Ann (1850-1927), John Perry (b. 1851), William James (b. 1852), Catherine Eleanore "Kate" (1853-1927), Mary (b. 1856), Searah Eleanore (b. 1858), Thomas (1860-1885), and Anna Cecilia Lynch (1861-1909). They moved to Wisconsin, where John Lynch disappears from the record during the Civil War; In 1866 she married (2) ELLSWORTH M PARMELY (1819-1913) and they had Elsie Agnes (1867-1943), Bertha Marie (1869-1942) and Henrietta Elizabeth Parmely (1870-1960). Anna left Ellsworth and ran a boarding house with her children in Cleveland. She died on 16 Aug 1891 in Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, Ohio, and she is buried there with neither husband at Saint Josephs Cemetery, in Section 10, lot 400, with daughter Bertha Parmeley Ferrie and family. |
| MARIA DALY was born in 1834 in Dublin, Ireland, and baptized on 2 Mar 1834 at St. Nicholas' (Without) on Francis St. to "Johanne Daly and Catharina Ellis." |
| WILLIAM JAMES DALY was born in 1837 in Dublin, Ireland, and baptized (as Gulielmus Daly) on 6 Aug 1837 at St. Nicholas' (Without) on Francis St. in Dublin to "Joannis Daly and Catherina Ellis." He sailed to America in 1858 and settled near his brother Patrick in Missouri, where on 5 Apr 1864 he married (1) MARY ELIZA SIMS (1847-1901), the older sister of Patrick's wife, Susan. They had the following children: Mary C (1865-1865), Anne Eliza (1865-1908), Teresa Ellen (1868-1916), John Cardiff (1870-1928), Henry Percy (1871-1898) and Bernice Daly (1873-1925). William was a shoemaker and in 1871 the family moved west and eventually settled in Chico, Butte, California, where he opened the "Wm. Daly Boot and Shoe Emporium" at 282 Main St. After Mary's death in 1901, he married (2) EVA ARLINE PERRY (b. 1866) and sold the shoe store to son John and son-in-law Frank Ash. He died on 30 Apr 1913 in San Jose, California.² and is buried at the Chico Cemetery in Chico, Butte County, California. |
| JACOB DALY was born in 1839 in Dublin, Ireland, and baptized (as Jacobus Dayly) on 1 May 1839 at St. Nicholas' (Without) on Francis Street to "Johannis Dayly and Catherine Ellis." |
| CATHERINE DALY was born in 1841 in Dublin and was baptized on 15 Mar 1841 at St. Nicholas' (Without) to "Johannis Dayly and Catherina Ellis" on Francis St. in Dublin. On 4 Sep 1859 she married JOHN BYRNE (bp. Aug 1825) at St. Nicholas' (Without) in Dublin, and lived on Ardee St. No further information. |
Our next ancestor, ANNA DALY, was born in 1831 and baptized at St. Nicholas' Without. In about 1849, she married another Irish native named JOHN MICHAEL LYNCH (b. 1829/30). It's not known if they married in Ireland or the U.S. (a "Joannes Lynch" was baptized on 17 Feb 1830 at St Nicholas' Without, to William and Maria Lynch), but they had emigrated to the US and settled in New York by 1850. Anna became the first of the Daly children to emigrate to the US, but would not be the last, as her brothers Patrick and William followed, but continued west to Missouri.
By 1850, John and Anna Lynch were working on the farm of Gardner Fowler in Argyle, Washington County, New York, along with a new daughter, ANN. By the time of the 1855 New York State Census, they are not yet naturalized, but now have their own farm with four kids: ELLEN ANN (b. 1850), JOHN P (b. 1851), WILLIAM JAMES (b. 1852) and CATHERINE ELEANORE, or "Kate" (b. 1853).

The family's own farm was listed near Argyle, Washington, New York, like Fowler's, but the children would later place the homestead closer to Fort Edward, about five miles away. The town is located at the "Great Carrying Place," a portage around the falls on the Hudson, located on what was the Native American "Great War Path," that had later been used by French and English colonists during their own warfare in the the previous century. The town of Fort Edward was established in 1818. The community of Fort Edward set itself off from the town by incorporating as a village at about the same time that John and Ann were getting married, in 1849.
The marriage of John and Ann proved to be sturdier than the farm, and by 1860, the family had pulled up stakes and moved west to a $600 farm (not acres, dollars) in Pulaski, Iowa, Wisconsin, with $250 in personal worth and three more children in tow.
Wisconsin had just achieved statehood in 1848 after being pulled from the Northwest Territory. Under American control, the Native Americans were driven off the land and the economy of the territory shifted from fur trading to lead mining. The prospect of easy mineral wealth drew immigrants from throughout the U.S. and Europe to the lead and zinc deposits at Mineral Point, Dodgeville, and nearby areas, and the area was thriving. But just as Wisconsin achieved statehood, gold was discovered in California and much of the population left for the more coveted mineral in that state. This presented a cheap land opportunity for farm families like the Lynch's, which by this time included:
CHILDREN OF JOHN MICHAEL LYNCH AND ANNA DALY |
| ELLEN ANN LYNCH was born in November of 1850, in Fort Edward, Washington Co., New York. She moved to Wisconsin with her family, then up to Cleveland, Ohio with her mother, siblings and half-siblings around 1870. Ellen died on 18 Apr 1927 in Cleveland, and is buried with her mother and other family members at Saint Josephs Cemetery in Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, Ohio, Sec 10, lot 400. |
| JOHN PERRY LYNCH was born around 1851 in Fort Edward, Washington Co., New York. He traveled to Pulaski, Iowa, Wisconsin, with his family and appears in the 1860 Federal Census, then married MARY ELIZABETH MOORE (b. 1858) and had a daughter, Mary Katherine Lynch (Darrow) (1880-1931). |
| WILLIAM JAMES LYNCH was born in July of 1852 in Fort Edward, Washington, New York. He traveled to Pulaski, Iowa, Wisconsin, with his family and appears in the 1860 Federal Census. Some time before 1876 he married (1) EMMA WILSON and they had three children in Cleveland, Ohio: ANNA MAY (1876-bef. 1951), JOHN DALY (1878-1949) and HELEN MADELINE "NELLIE" LYNCH (1880-1965). Next he married (2) MARTHA "MATTIE" BURNS (b. 1867) and they had two children, WILLIAM JAMES II (1886-1936) and EMMA WILSON LYNCH (1891-1951). William disappears from the record, as does Mattie, and Willam and Emma were raised by various relatives. |
| CATHERINE ELEANOR LYNCH was born on 13 Feb 1853 in Fort Edward, Washington, New York. She traveled to Wisconsin with her family, then on 10 Oct 1874 she married LUCIOUS G LOOMIS (1850-1918) and lived in Jefferson, Ohio until moving to Painesville, Lake County, Ohio, around 1902. They had the following children: John Carlton (1875-1943), Georgia Anna (1879-1899), Eleanor Mary (b. 1881), Henry Stephen (1883-1938) and Dorothy Elizabeth (1885-1941). The Painesville Telegraph dated Saturday, 19 Feb 1927, stated that she was one of the town's "most beloved citizens" and that she was "survived by Miss Eleanor Loomis of Seattle, Wash., who has been with her mother for the past nine weeks; Mrs. Carl Giblin of this city; J. C. Loomis of Detroit, Mich; and H. S. Loomis, of San Diego, Calif.; ten grandchildren, and five sisters, Mrs. P. T. Ferris and Miss Ellen Lynch, of Cleveland; Mr. U. C. Burns, of Boulder, Colo.; Mrs. A. J. Weatherhead, of Pasa Grille, Fla.; and Mrs. Edward Boone of Goodrich, N. D." Catherine helped raise her brother William's daughter, Emma Wilson Lynch, while she was attending school. Catherine died on 19 Feb 1927 in Painesville, Lake County, Ohio. She's buried with Lucious at Saint Mary Cemetery in Painesville, Lake County, Ohio, Section B Row 11 Stone 2. |
| MARY LYNCH was born in 1856,according to the 1860 Federal Census. It lists her birthplace as Wisconsin (although it does so for all of the children, even those born in New York). No further record. |
| SARAH E LYNCH was born in 1858, according to the 1860 Federal Census. She also married into the Burns family, like her brother, William, in 1878 in Cuyahoga County. On 17 Jun 1878 she married WILLIAM C BURNS (1850-1908) in Cuyahoga Co., Ohio. They had two children, John Henry (1879-1881) and Caroline Burns (1880-1958). Her niece Emma Lynch's 1912 wedding notice lists a "Mrs S. E. Burns of Cleveland" among visiting relatives, and the 1927 obituary of sister Kate shows a surviving sister as married to a "U. C. Burns, of Boulder, Colo."² |
| THOMAS LYNCH was born early in 1860 and is listed as "3/12" of a year old in the Federal Census, dated 14 Aug 1860, in Pulaski, Iowa, Wisconsin. He died on 29 Oct 1885 in Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, Ohio. |
| ANNA CECELIA LYNCH was born on 04 Feb 1861 in in Pulaski, Iowa, Wisconsin. She moved to Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, Ohio, with much of her family. On 13 Nov 1889 she married EDWARD HARDING WEATHERHEAD (1857-1937) in Cleveland, Ohio. He ws the brother of her half-sister HENRIETTA's husband, ALBERT JOHN WEATHERHEAD. They had the following children: Henrietta Marie (1890-1966) and Charles Holland Weatherhead (1892-1971). Anna passed away on 19 Jun 1909 in Cleveland (Ohio, Cuyahoga County, Probate Estate Files; County Court Estate Files, Docket 86, Case No 49337-49379, 1909). Edward remarried to Anna's niece, Caroline Burns (1880-1958), daughter of SARAH LYNCH, and moved to Riverside, California, where he passed in 1937. |

The hardships weren't over for this family, however—or the country as a whole—when the Civil War erupted. Wisconsin raised 91,379 soldiers for the Union Army during the Civil War, organized into 53 infantry regiments, four cavalry regiments, a company of Berdan's sharpshooters, 13 light artillery batteries and one unit of heavy artillery. Most of the Wisconsin troops served in the Western Theater, although several regiments served in Eastern armies, including three regiments within the famed "Iron Brigade". 3,794 of those men were killed in action or mortally wounded, 8,022 died of disease, and 400 were killed in accidents. The total mortality of Wisconsin soldiery was 12,216 men, or 13.4 percent of total enlistments. We can't be sure if John Lynch was one of them—at least ten men named John Lynch served for Wisconsin (and three named Michael)—but what we do know is that John Lynch died on 23 Jun 1861 "interstate" two months after the war began, and it took four years to settle his probate—a time period covering most of the Civil War.
Dodgeville Chronicle, Dodgeville, Wisconsin; Thu, 17 Aug 1865, Page 2 |

The news—when it finally came—must have been devastating for Anna, who was raising eight children by herself on a 40-acre frontier farm. With everyone fighting, was there nobody to process the probate, or was news from the battlefield just slow in coming back? We don't know if there was ever any sense of closure for her loss. Was John returned home? He could have been one of several men by that name who were buried locally at that time, or he could have been left to rot anonymously for the buzzards in some miserable far-off battlefield. Whatever happened, John lost his life defending the country he had moved to in order to build a life, and Anna found herself alone, tending a farm and raising at least seven kids by herself for half of a decade. It was a desperate situation, especially after the farm was finally sold off by the sheriff to pay the accrued debts in August of 1865.
Ellsworth Parmely |
|
Just after the war ended in 1866, Ann remarried to a Civil War veteran in the nearbye town of Highland, named ELLSWORTH M PARMELY (18 May 1819 - 30 Sep 1913), starting another family (we know this from the obituary of John and Anna's daughter Kate, which lists the Parmely daughters as her sisters²). Ellsworth's previous wife—his second—was named Caroline Comfort Parmely (1834-1895), and was living with their three children (one just born in 1865) and working as a dressmaker in Avoca (she eventually won a court judgement against him in 1872, according to the Iowa County Democrat, Apr 10, 1872, Page 4). Whatever happened there, Ellsworth was with Anna, now (although she would leave him as well, before the time of that court decision).
Ellsworth Parmely was a remarkable man. In his 94 years, he had four wives and at least 22 children (outliving most of them). Ann was his third wife, and by the time they parted ways in 1870 and before Ellsworth moved on to wife #4 (21-year-old widow Mary Jane Stewart), they had three daughters together: Elsie Agnes Parmaley (married name Fahey, then Boone, 10 Dec 1867 - 15 May 1943), Bertha Marie Parmeley (married name Ferrie, 2 Feb 1869 - 20 May 1942),³ and Henrietta Elizabeth Parmely (married name Weatherhead, 21 Dec 1870 - 29 Apr 1960).
CHILDREN OF ANNA DALY AND ELLSWORTH PARMELY |
| ELSIE AGNES PARMALEY was born on 10 Dec 1867 in La Porte, Indiana. On 22 Nov 1887 she married (1) PATRICK W. FAHEY/FAY (1858-1900) in Chickasaw County, Iowa. They had the following children: Katherine A (1889-1976), Mary M (1889-1966), Anna Elizabeth (1893-1968), Thomas S (1893-1957), and Agnes P Fahey/Fay (1895-1978). After Patrick died she married (2) EDWARD C BOONE (1863-1929). Elsie died on 15 May 1943 in Minneapolis, Hennepin, Minnesota. |
| BERTHA MARIE PARMELEY was born on 2 Feb 1869 in La Porte, Indiana. On 16 Aug 1888 she married PATRICK THOMAS FERRIE (1866-1949) in Cuyahoga, Ohio. They had the following children: James Howard (1890-1950), William Roland (1893-1964), Parmely Thomas (b. 1900) and Georgianne Ferrie (1901-1979). Bertha died on 20 May 1942 in Cleveland, Cuyahoga, Ohio.³ |
| HENRIETTA ELIZABETH PARMELY was born on 21 Dec 1870 in Wisconsin. On 8 Jan 1890 she married ALBERT JOHN WEATHERHEAD (1859-1930) in Cuyahoga, Ohio. He was the brother of her half-sister ANNA CECELIA'S husband, EDWARD HARDING WEATHERHEAD. They had the following children: Helen Rose 91890-1981), Albert John (1892-1966), Ruth Weatherhead (1893-1947), Edward Daly (1899-1976), Robert Harding (1907-1947) and John Parmely Weatherhead (1915-2002). Henrietta died on 29 Apr 1960 in Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, Ohio.⁴ |
The Lynch and Parmely children had integrated nicely by the time of the 1870 Federal Census. Anna and Ellsworth are in Highland, Iowa, Wisconsin with children Edwin Sylvanus Parmely (age 19), Charles Fremont Parmely (age 13), Elsie Agnes Parmely (age 2), Bertha Parmely (age 1), William J Lynch (13), Mary Lynch (14), Sarah Lynch (12) and Anna Lynch (10). The half siblings would remain close throughout their lives... However, Anna and Ellsworth? Not so much.
 |
Growing up during a famine and then raising a family by herself during wartime had made Anna Daly-Lynch-Parmely tough and self-reliant, and she wasn't afraid to be on her own. According to the front page of the Mineral Point Weekly Tribune on Thursday, 01 Dec 1870, Annie had left the relationship abruptly: "NOTICE. My wife, Annie D. Parmely having left my bed and board without just provocation, all persons are hereby forbidden harboring her at my expense, or furnishing her or giving her credit, as I will pay no debts of her contracting. ELLSWORTH PARMELY." We never got to hear Anna's version of the story, but considering that Parmely was married four times and had similar problems with other spouses, we can assume it was a powerful argument. This dispute continued for years, as evidenced by the document at right in which the Iowa County Sheriff is selling off Ellsworth's property for Ellen Lynch, Anna's daughter (Mineral Point Tribune, 27 Mar 1872).

Anna landed on her feet and even prospered in Cleveland, Ohio. In the 1880 Federal Census, 48-year-old Anna is divorced and going by the surname of "Lynch" again. She is running a boarding house at 83 Hanover Street in Cleveland, with daughters Ellen Ann Lynch (age 30), Anna Cecelia Lynch (age 20) and Henrietta Parmely (age 10).⁵ Her Last Will and Testament (Will Records, Vol V-W, 1891-1892 for Cuyahoga, Ohio, Case Number 6493, dated 27 Jan 1892) shows that she did quite well for her family over the next two decades. She died on 16 Aug 1891 at the age of 59 from kidney failure. ("Ohio, County Death Records, 1840-2001", FamilySearch (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:F6XC-PNB : Wed Jul 24 19:51:55 UTC 2024), Entry for Anna D. Lynch, 16 Aug 1891.) She is buried at Saint Josephs Cemetery in Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, Ohio, near her daughter Ellen Ann Lynch (Sec 10, lot 400) and the family of her daughter, Bertha Marie Parmeley-Ferrie³... but there is still no sign of either John or Ellsworth.

NOTES ON THIS PAGE:
¹—A family motto originally was a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will.
²—Chico Record, Thursday Morning, May 1, 1913, pg 4 col 6: "Pioneer Merchant of Chico Dies At San Jose. William Daly, Who Came Here In 1872, Passes Away at Seventy-Seven. William Daly, pioneer of Chico and long a well known business man of this city, but of late years a resident of San Jose, died yesterday morning in San Jose after a lingering illness brought on by the infirmities of old age. He was almost seventy-seven years old at the time of his death. Funeral services will be held tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 at San Jose. John C. Daly, a son, of this city, who was his father's successor in business here, was called to San Jose yesterday noon. Mrs. John C. Daly will leave early this morning. William Daly was born in Dublin, Ireland, July 23, 1836. He came to this country in his youth, first making his home in Springfield, Mo. In 1871 he came to California and settled in Chico in 1872. On his arrival here, he worked in the Peters shoe shop and later went into the shoe business for himself, being persuaded by friends from going to Red Bluff, as he had planned. He opened his shoe store on Main street, between First and Second streets, his store being but a few doors from the establishment of M. Oser & Co. Later the two stores were moved down on Main street near Third, Oser occupying the south half of his present store and Daly occupying what is now the north half. Then he moved his store next door to its present location. In 1895 he sold his business to his son, John C. Daly, and a short time later moved to San Jose, where he made his home until his death. William Daly was one of Chico's enterprising merchants and one of its most substantial businessmen during his period of residence here. He is survived by his widow, one son, John C. Daly of this city, and two daughters, Mrs. F.R. Ash and Mrs. W.H. Cook, both of San Jose."
³—Fun Fact: Bertha is the grandmother of David William Ferrie (28 Mar 1918 - 22 Feb 1967), a JFK Assassination Figure. My 2nd cousin, twice-removed, was accused by New Orleans DA Jim Garrison of being a co-conspirator in the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Ferrie was under investigation at the time of his death. He had been interviewed 3 days prior by investigators and was under surveillance. His death was ruled by Garrison as an "apparent suicide." However, the coroner lists the cause of death as a "berry aneurysm." He had left two unsigned notes, thought to be suicide notes. Conspiracy theorists have long maintained his complicity in the JFK assassination. Joe Pesci played him in Oliver Stone's movie, JFK. Who says I'm not related to anybody famous???
⁴—"The Ancestors and Descendants of Helen M. Cornish and Homer F. Hull" by Judith M.

When Henrietta was nine years old, they had a boarder by the name of Albert J. Weatherhead. He proposed marriage to Henrietta and told her when she got older he was going to come back and marry her. He went west after leaving Cleveland and prospected for gold in the Black Hills of South Dakota and later in New Mexico, where he struck it rich in gold and silver mining. As he said he would, he returned to Cleveland ten years later and married Henrietta."

The Church of St. Nicholas of Myra: Built in the 11th century the church was dedicated to St. Nicholas of Myra. The parish was divided into two parts: St Nicholas Within (the walls) and St Nicholas Without, where john and Catherine Ellis Daly baptized their children, which used the north transept of St Patrick's Cathedral. "Visitors are most welcome to St. Nicholas of Myra. Every weekday morning we have Mass or Eucharistic Service between 10am and 10.30am. On Sunday Mass is celebrated at 12noon. These are times of prayer, so we ask you not to visit during this time." Here is a list of Daly entries from the St. Nicholas' (Without) parish register (much is unreadable, misspelled or just contains first names, so it is not in any way meant to be a comprehensive list. Possible ancestors to our Daly line are highlighted in red. There were very few references to any Ellis families, and I have found no baptismal record of Catherine Ellis:)

When America Despised the Irish: The 19th Century's Refugee Crisis: "Forced from their homeland because of famine and political upheaval, the Irish endured vehement discrimination before making their way into the American mainstream," by Christopher Klein (History.com).
The Family Parmelee: Jim Walters' Home Page for the Parmelee Family. "I've been collecting facts, pictures, clippings and stories about the family for about 40 years now and have more than 22,000 Parmelees and their spouses in my genealogy database. I've been saving family pictures and other memorabilia too. (The earliest portrait I've found is that of Ebenezer (1738-1802) of Guilford. ... And Joel's (1679/80-1748) tombstone, the oldest I've run across, in Durham, Conn.)"
