MEMOIR OF THE REV. JONATHAN PARSONS, M. A.
FIRST PASTOR OF THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH IN NEWBURYPORT, MS.
WESTERN RESERVE BRANCH.
[By Rev. Jonathan Greenleaf, of Brooklyn, N. Y.]


[Anson A. Brewster, Esq., Hudson, O., Tr.]

The family of Parsons, was an ancient family in England,* and some
of the name were among the early emigrants to America. Two brothers
of this family, Joseph, and Benjamin, came over to this country about the
year 1635, and settled at Springfield, Ms. The elder brother, Joseph
Parsons, commonly known as Cornet Joseph, was one of the witnesses of
the Indian Deed to William Pynchon and others, July 15, 1630, which is
the instrument whereby the land in and around Springfield is held. In
1645, he removed to Northampton, returned to Springfield in 1679, and
died there March 25, 1684. Benjamin Parsons, the younger brother, is
generally known as Deacon Benjamin. He probably sustained this office
in the first church gathered at Springfield. Certain it is that he lived
there, and died there in the year 1690
