You may not need any further info by what follow up you have had on your message. I can only add the vital of Matilda Parmelee who marriedWilliam Leffingwell occurred in 1841 at Cornwall, CT in Litchfield County, CT.Cornwall, CT was considered in the Salisbury Ironmaking District during the early 19th century. Many investors sought their fortune there . That district did not get established until after the 1700's and settlers came there for the industry. They came from all over which is why I tend to think Leffingwell came from MA, although Parmele did come from CT. I was unable to find the birth of Matilda Parmele in the Barbour collection for CT (I have it in my database) but the collection is not yet complete. In 1811, Tyringham MA a part was annexed to New Marlborough, MA and in 1812 New Marlborough MA a part was annexed to Tyringham.
So depending upon the incorp of the town you may find more detail on either of your parties. Hope this helps. Michele
