  • Notes 
    • George Parkhurst was born in Ipswich in England and all of his children b y Phebe were baptized there. Sometime before 1642, he emigrated to New E ngland, settling in Watertown, Massachusetts. It is not clear if Phebe a ccompanied him or whether she died in England. In any case, George marr ied a Susanna Simpson in New England and had five more sons with her. I n 1655, he petitioned the General Court of Massachusetts to sell a piec e of land in his wife's estate in order that he might return to England t o aid his wife who had already returned with their five youngest childr en. He claimed that his wife and children were destitute and that his a ge was 67 years at that time. He probably left for England soon after 1 655 and was buried at St. Lawrence church in Ipswich, England, June 18, 1 675. He may have been the "Old George Parkhurst" who was buried on 18 J une 1675 at the Church of Saint Lawrence, Ipswich.

      All his older children remained in New England.
