General Notes: Husband - James Parshall

---

The records regarding him are of the most meagre description; it is certain, however, that he removed from Suffolk County to Orange County, New York, prior to the breaking out of the Revolutionary War. His signature appears as a member of the association to support the continental congress at Goshen precinct, Orange County, New York, June 21, 1775. He also appears to have been appointed ensign of the Chester company of the West Orange regiment. He was "one of the scouts who served April 5 to 6, being two days in covering certain Tory prisoners from Warwick Mountain to Kings Town" (Kingston). That he served through the revolution is certain, but as there was another James Parshall, born 1762, who served in the later part of the war, it is not always possible to determine from the official records one from the other. It is believed that he removed after the close of the war to western New York and located at or near Palmyra, Wayne County, but as the other James Parshall, previously referred to, located at the same place, the difficulty of distinguishing them is increased. James Parshall was accompanied on his removal by a sister who had previously married a Mr. Terry, and whose daughter, Deliverance, subsequently became the wife of his brother Israel.
