Your trip to Essex England and Parmenter genealogy may be of interest if you found any connection to the family of John Parmenter (c1588-1671), see below..Your James Parmenter from East Angela may well be in John's family.Were you able to find and genealogy on James's ancestors..??The info listed is what we have on our English Parmenter line; hope it will help to make a connection if one exist..??If you need more let me know.GDS
Deacon John Parmenter (c1588-1671)First in this line to the Colonies.
John and both children are mentioned in his father (William) Will in 1613, but he inherited no lands or tenements from his father. Following his father's death in 1617 John moved to about eight miles from Little Yeldham into Bures St. Mary. John's connection to Bures St. Mary can be seen in his association with Philemon Whale and Herbert Pelham, residents of Bures St. Mary who emigrated to Sudbury [The Puritan village, Sumner Chilton Powell, Appendix I, Wesleyan Univ. Press, 1963]
In 1639 John Parmenter emigrated to New England with his wife Bridget and children Mary and John Jr;in his party were the widow Elizabeth Loker and her children. The name of the ship or port of departure is not known.John Parmenter was one of the original proprietors of Sudbury, and was assigned lands May 1640 by the General Court of the Massachusetts Bay colony [Suffolk court files, vol. I, No. 304, microfilm #A360, Univ MA, Amherst].John was chosen early as a Selectman; then Deacon, and Commissioner; he made Freeman 13 May 1640 [NEHGS Reg. Vol 13, 261]
A comparison of the signature of John Parminter as a witness in the original will of Henry Loker of Bures St. Mary with an autograph signature of Dea. John Parmenter as a commissioner of Sudbury, MA, 6 Jan 1639/40 shows that the two signatures were made by the same hand. [Suffolk Co. Court files, Boston, NO.162004]
Following the death of his first wife, he married Annis (Bayford)(Chandler) Dane and relocated to Roxbury where he died on 1 May 1671; his will was dated 25 Mar 1671, and proved 25 Jul 1671.
William Parmenter (c1560-1617) Father to Dea. John Parmenter
William inherited various lands of Tankerton and Busheleyes from his father and the copyhold lands, called Cowell or Gouldwell, by the will of his brother George, which he mentioned in his own will, dated 12 Oct 1613 and proved 19 Jan 1617/18.Manorial rental records show William as the tenant for Tankerton and Bushelyes in 1611 [E.R.O., No. D/Du 496/65].Second marriage date/location: 21 Jan 1583 in Little Yeldham,Essex, ENG.
George Parmenter (c1520-1591/2) Grand Father to Dea. John Parmenter
He appears at Little Yeldham as George Parmenter, Jr., in the lay subsidy of 1542-1544 for Little Yeldham, along with another George Parmenter who was most likely his father.During his lifetime he held lands and goods in the villages of Ovington, Little Yeldham and Tilbury-Juxta-Clare. Records show a George Parmenter in the court rolls for Tilbury-Juxta-Clare in 1558 for assessments on the copyhold lands called Crenehouse and Richolds (E.R.O. ref. No. D/Du 432/4)..
He must have lived in Ovington for a time, since at least two of his children were baptized at Ovington, and he is found in the lay subsidy of 1565-66 for Ovington (Parish Reg., Ovington and lay subsidy rolls, Public Record Office, London)..
He next appears in the 1571-72 lay subsidy for Little Yeldham; and he was probably the brother of Robert Parmenter who was buried at Little Yeldham on May 1, 1594, and likely the brother to John Parmenter of Tilbury-Juxta-Clare who appears in the 1565-66 and 1571-72 lay subsidy rolls for that parish.
George was buried in the churchyard of Little Yeldham; and according to his will his wife, Alice, inherited his tenements and land in Little Yeldham, called Madges and Bushelyes, and his copyhold lands in Tilbury-Juxta-Clare.George Parmentr the elder of Over Yeldham in the county of Essex, yeoman, signed his will 8 May 1591 by mark, requesting burial in the churchyard there (a transcription of the will appears in the Register, 68(1914):262]
