General Notes: Husband - George Pardee

---

The name Pardee is of French origin. The family were Huguenots who fled from France at the time of the early persecutions of the Protestants, about 1562.

He was born in England and came to America in 1644 and settled in New Haven, Connecticut.
In Atwater's "History of the New Haven Colony" occurs the following:
The Colony School being discontinued, November 5, 1662, (thirty-nine years before Yale College was established) the town of New Haven negotiated with George Pardee, one of their own people, to teach the children English and to carry them on in Latin so far as he could. The business was debated and some expressed themselves to this purpose, that it was scarce known in any place to have a free school for teaching English and writing, but yet showed themselves willing to have something allowed by the public and the rest by the parents and masters of such that went to school, and in the issue twenty pounds was propounded and put to vote and they concluded to allow George Pardee for this year out of the town treasury, the remainder to be paid by those that sent scholars to the school as he and they could agree. This George Pardee agreed to make a trial of for one year. He was also advised to be careful to instruct the youth in point of manners, there being a great fault in that respect, as some expressed.
At the end of the year for which he was engaged, Connecticut absorbed the colony of New Haven, and the school was discontinued. According to an old catalogue of the Hopkins Grammar School he was elected the second rector, being chosen as the only man in the New Haven Colony, after the death of the first rector, who could read and teach Latin. He held this position for a number of years. In 1665 and 1666 George Pardee was assigned the fourth on the aisle in the Meeting House in the formal seating arrangement.
