     Sarah Ann Court Arlien's notes, p 33-:

"Sarah m. Henry Coville
they had one son. Living in
E. Cleveland." Sarah was born at England circa 1849.² She was the daughter of James Court and Fannie Sifleet. She married Henry William Coville at Cuyahoga, Ohio, USA, on 31 December 1870.^3,4

     He married Sarah Ann Court at Cuyahoga, Ohio, USA, on 31 December 1870.^2,3

     Henry was born at Kent, England.² Henry died at England.³ He was the son of THOMAS SIFLEET and MARY (?). Henry Sifleet Arlien Sifleet's notes:

"d.- Eng. when young - whipped so hard abcesses developed."

     Widow was born. She First Settlers, p 37:

"Peter Bebout, married 2d, Sarah Darling, half-sister of William Parrot, Sen."

Parritt Homestead evidence says that she had 7 children with SAMUEL, two girls and five boys. Also, that Samuel (2) was the second son of hers. If all this is so, we are missing one son.

She married Thomas? Darling.³ As of 17 December 1713,her married name was PARROTT.³ She married SAMUEL PARROTT on 17 December 1713.³

     Thomas was born. He This Mr Darling cannot be the father of "our" Sarah Darling because he died, as the record below shows, in 1784 but WILLIAM PARROTT married the "widow Darling" (and mother of Sarah) in 1713.

New Providence Presbyterian Records:

Deaths, 1784: "Darling, Cap^t. Th^s, died Feb. 5."

Email from Marianne Frey, 22 Jul 2001:

"According to the New Jersey Abstracts of Wills, Thomas wrote a will in August 1777 naming wife Abigail, sons Lot and William, and granddaughter Hannah daughter of deceased son Samuel. The will wasn't proved until Thomas' death in 1784 -- he may have written it when he did because the neighborhood had just been through a devastating smallpox epidemic. (I have not been able to find out whether this caused Samuel's death.) Elsewhere I have come across additional children assigned to Thomas: Abigail and Sylvanus. Either they weren't his, or both died before 1777. But no Sarah, no Elizabeth."

New Providence Presbyterian Records:

Marriages
1767: "Darling, Lot, & Hannah Dickinson, Feb. 19."
He married Abigail (?). He made a will at New Jersey, USA, in August 1777.³ Thomas died on 5 February 1784 at New Providence, Essex, New Jersey, USA.^1,3

     Sarah Darling HALF-SISTER OF WILLIAM PARROTT.

First Settlers, p 37:

"Peter Bebout, married, 2d, Sarah Darling, half-sister of William Parrot, Sen., ..."

So SAMUEL PARROTT's 2d wife, the mother of WILLIAM, married a Mr Darling, after SAMUEL's death, and had Sarah. We surmise that she was widowed by Sam since Sarah was born (according to LDS evidence) abt 1728, whereas her Parrott sons have birthdates, 1714 and 1716.

New Providence Presbyterian Records, Deaths, 1793:

"Bebout, the Widow, d. Feb. 2."

Baptisms, 1783:

"Bebout, "Widow Sarah Bebout, two of her children Stephen & Nancy", April 9."

It is curious that she is called a widow on 9 Apr 1783 when the same records give his death as 23 Aug 1784:

New Providence Presbyterian Records, Deaths, 1784:

"Bebout, Peter, died Aug. 23."

"Church Officers and Members

..."
[There is a note attached explaining that the original list and heading is in one ink and handwriting, and that the remaining list, which includes Sarah Bebout, consists of different inks, implying later additions to the list, but not dated ones. Presumably her name, as widow, was added after 1783 or 1784.]

Sarah Bebout is a witness to Daniel Clark's will about 1756 in Elizabethtown; WILLIAM PARROTT is an executor along with ABIGAIL, Daniel's wife, soon to be WILLIAM's wife. This is probably Sarah (Darling) Bebout here.⁴ Sarah was born at ?Piscataway, NJ, before 17 December 1713.² She was the daughter of Thomas? Darling and [Widow Darling = PARROTT WIFE 2] (?). Her married name was Bebout.^5,2 She married Peter Bebout.^5,2 Sarah died on 2 February 1793 at New Providence, Essex, New Jersey, USA.³

     Peter Bebout New Providence Presbyterian Records, Deaths, 1784:

"Bebout, Peter, died Aug. 23."

Marriages, 1767:

"Bebout, Ebenezer, & Sarah Jewell, Dec. 23"

First Settlers, p 37:

"PETER BEBOUT married, December 1st, 1767, Sarah Jewel, and had a son, Ebenzer [sic], who also removed to the west. [NB, this does not jibe with the church record above which has Peter's son, Ebenezer, marrying Sarah Jewell].

Peter Bebout, married, 2d, Sarah Darling, half-sister of William Parrot, Sen., and had other children:

2. Peter Bebout, Jun.

3. William married, 1st, Martha Tingley; 2d. Hannah Ogden, of Hanover, Morris county.

4. Christian, who died at about 18 years of age.

5. Abigail married Isaac Potter, son of Colonel Samuel. ...

6. Mary married John Osborn, son of John Osborn. ...

7. Martha married, 12th November, 1786, 1st, John Bedell, son of Jacob, ... 2d, Luther Jones. ...

8. Lewis, who died at about 15 years.

9. Stephen married Sally Cory, daughter of Elder Daniel Cory.

10. Nancy married, 1st, Simeon Dunn; 2d, Elisha Coriell, by Green Brook.

Peter Bebout, Sen., died 13th January, or 23d August, 1784; the statements differ.

William Bebout died 20th February, 1820, aged 70 years.

His widow, Hannah, died 5th September, 1828, aged 72 years.

John Bedell (husband of Martha) died 1st June, 1788.

Martha died 18th May, 1847, aged 80 years.

Stephen died ____ ____.

Sally, wife of Stephen, died 5th July, 1843.

The family has lived on the north side of Long Hill, now nearly a century."

He married Sarah Darling.^4,5 Peter was born at Piscataway, Middlesex, New Jersey, USA, after 1764.^2,6 He was the son of John Bebout and Mary Miller. Peter Bebout left a will on 25 January 1782 at Morris, New Jersey, USA.⁷ Peter died before 22 October 1782 at Morris, New Jersey, USA.^8,9,10,11 His estate was probated on 29 October 1782 at Morris, New Jersey, USA.¹² He NB Peter Bebout who died intestate on this date must be Peter Jr on 23 August 1784.

     Sarah died. Sarah was born. She First Settlers, p37:

"Peter Bebout married, December 1st, 1767, Sarah Jewel, and had a son, Ebenzer [sic]"

I believe this is simply an error. See the next entry:

New Providence Presbyterian Records, Marriages, 1747:

"Bebout, Ebenezer, & Sarah Jewell, Dec. 23."

So Ebenezer married Sarah Jewel, not his (assumed) father.

     She married Kenneth Roger Smith.

     She married Kenneth Roger Smith.

     He married Rosa Jean Beedle.

     She married Eugene Samuel Sims.

     Samuel Parrott From Arlien Sifleet's evidence:

"Eleanor Parrot ... was d. Sam Parrott of Troy (s. Sam Parrot of Elizabethtown N.J. who was of Eliz - as early as 1704 & who has the record of births & deaths in his family now being in possession of Mrs. Mary Smith, Troy Hills N.J. stating his oldest child was born there) born in Eliz 10/8/1716 d. in Troy 11/29/1788 & Eleanor Alling d. & only child of Joseph Alling but traditionally earlier of Eliz."

Parritt Homestead:

"In 1745 Eleanor married Samuel Parrit, born October 8 1716 second son of Samuel Parrit by his second wife, of Elizabethtown." This makes WILLIAM b 1714 the first son of SAMUEL.

Also:

"Here Eleanor Alling and her husband lived and here their children were born, Phebe, Elizabeth, Susanna, Charity, Joseph, Ann, Mary, Eleanor, Samuel 1st, Samuel 2nd, and Archibald. I can find no Rebecca, wife of Ebenezer Farrand on the list. If she is a sister of these as some claim, she must be a half sister by a former marriage of Samuel Parrit Jr. as Rebecca was born 1740, five years previous to his union with Eleanor Alling. So far we can find no record of such a marriage. [But cf ?Phebe and ?Rebecca]

Of Eleanor's eleven children, we see six reach maturity. After her death which occurred August 7 1787 her husband's following in November one year later ..."

So dying young or in infancy were Susanna, Mary, both Samuels and Archibald.

I am equating the Eleanor Alling of Arlien's notes with the Helen of "Sam + Helen Parrot" elsewhere in her notes, Eleanor being a form of Helen. The dates make sense, the locale makes sense (Whippany, Troy Hills, and Hanover are all within 4 miles of one another), and the religion makes sense (Arlien copied her notes from Presbyterian church records in these towns). All the children's names are supported by other evidence so I think I am justified.

Here are the notes for children of Sam + Helen Parrot in the evidence:

"Whippany Pres. Church Records

Joseph - s. Sam + Helen Parrot 7/17/1754
Anne - d. " " 6/23/1756
Charity - d. " " 10/29/1752
Phebe+Eliz. d. " " 1/22/1749"

These are baptism dates rather than birth dates as some of Arlien's notes show.

"Eleanor, b. abt. 1726: md., as 2nd wife, Samuel Parritt; d. Aug. 27, 1787. Of their large family of children, the only ones to leave issue were four daughters, the wives of Henry Howell, Silas Parritt, John Cobb, Esq., and Col. Hiram Smith, who had numerous progeny, so that most of the prominent families of the Troy Hills area are descended from this Joseph Allen."

Parritt Homestead:

"In 1745 Eleanor married Samuel Parrit, born October 8 1716 second son of Samuel Parrit by his second wife, of Elizabethtown." Eleanor was born circa 1726.² She was the daughter of Joseph Alling (Allen) (Allin). As of 1745,her married name was Parrott.^4,3 She married Samuel Parrott in 1745.^4,3 Eleanor was listed as a member of a church at Whippany, Morris, New Jersey, USA, on 8 January 1749.⁵ Eleanor died on 27 August 1787. Parritt Homestead claims 7 Aug 1787.^6,3

     Eleanor ["Nelly"] Parrott Parritt Homestead:

"It was in this room that Eleanor Parrit married Col Hiram Smith in 1778."

Also:

" Here in Dr. Parritt's house, Eleanor Parritt Smith died on Thursday Nov 22 1810 of inflamation of the lungs at the age of fifty years. We find the notice of her death published the following Tuesday in the Palladium of Liberty edited by Jacob Mann of Morristown."

Aunt Arlien's Notes:

"Eleanor Parrot, wife of Col. Hiram Smith, was b. 6/1/1760 & d. 12/22/1810 (see obituary notices in Palladium[this is the Palladium of Liberty, a newspaper] Library Mor't [Morristown] - 11/28/1810, which constitutes her characteristics as meekness, benevolence & humility, See Parsippany gravestone records) & was d. Sam Parrott of Troy ... " See text for her father Samuel Parrott for continuation of this quote.

There is a problem with this evidence: the obituary date is before the death date. I suspect that one of them is simply off by a month.

IGI Record:

"Eleanor PARRITT
Birth: 1760
Troy Hills, Morris, New Jersey
Father: Samuel PARRITE
Mother: Eleanor ALLING"

NJ Index of Wills, Morris Co:

"Parritt, Eleanor, 1083N. B. 39, p. 312. Wd. 1801." [Wd = Ward] This event appears to be directly related to the death of brother Joseph.

Parsippany Gravestones:

"Eleanor Parrott Smith, w. Hiram     1779 Mar. 14, 1841" [I must have transcribed a nearby line because these dates are nowhere near the ones known. They must be for daughter Ann]. Eleanor was born at Troy Hills, Morris, New Jersey, USA, on 1 June 1760.^4,5 She was the daughter of Samuel Parrott and Eleanor "Helen" Alling. She married Col Hiram Smith at Troy Hills, Morris, New Jersey, USA, on 14 October 1778.^6,7,2 Eleanor died on 22 December 1810 at Dr Joseph Parrott's home, Troy Hills, Morris, New Jersey, USA, at age 50.²

     Joseph Alling (Allen) (Allin) Arlien Sifleet's notes:

"Eleanor Alling d. & only child of Joseph Alling"

See evidence for son-in-law Samuel Parrott.

From Alling evidence:

"Joseph Allen (Allin), b. presumably in 169_ or 170_, traditionally at Elizabethtown, but no confirmation of this is found; d. 1753-60 in present Troy Hills, Morris Co. He is first mentioned in a deed of July 2, 1725, to Gershom Mott as owning land next that conveyed, on Parsippany (now called Troy) Brook in Hanover tp. (HuCt I, rev.: 74). He was perhaps the earliest of the pioneer residents of the Parsippany-Troy Hills area to acquire land there after the West Jersey Proprietors, in 1715, took up their apportionments in that part of the Colony. His home, of which the foundation site was identifiable within living memory, was on the present Beverwyck Road, South, closely adjacent to the residence, still standing, built by his grandson, Dr. Joseph Parritt, and inherited by the latter's sister Eleanor, wife of Col Hiram Smith, whose descendants have since, as late as 1942, owned and occupied it as a Smith homestead. A small brook nearby is referred to in a road survey of 1762 as "Joseph Allen's Brook". (MsPO). In March, 1726/7, Joseph Allen was chosen constable for Hanover tp. In 1737, spelling his name "Allin", he mortgaged 110 acres of his farm next Parsippany (Troy) meadows, and paid off the mortgage in yearly instalments for the next ten years. (HuCt 2:165; HuMT C:15). In 1747/8 and 1749 he was Overseer of the Poor in Hanover tp., and is last mentioned on Aug. 31, 1753, in the diary of Rev. Jacob Green of Hanover, as furnishing a load of hay. (MrCt 1:212,243; Princeton Univ.Lib.Mss.). He left no will, his property descending to his only daughter. In a Court order in 1801, referring to the above land, his name is given as "Joseph Alling", but the only specimen of his signature found to date omits the final "g". (MrD A:228; L:1)."

     Col Hiram Smith Although he is usually referred to as Col Smith, I have not found evidence of his being a Colonel in the Revolutionary War. However, he definitely was a Lieutenant in the Continental Army:

Officers & Men in the Revolutionary War, Part II, Digest and Revisions, p 29:

"Smith, Hiram. Private, Continental Army; Serjeant, ditto; Lieutenant, ditto."

Also, Part I, Official Roster of State Troops and Militia, p 457:

"Smith, Hiram. Ensign, Captain Hinman's company, "Eastern Battalion," Morris."

Perhaps he was a Colonel in a later conflict?

Parritt Homestead:

"On January 15 1833 Col Hiram Smith was granted a pension of $101.66 per year for having served a private, sergeant and lieutenant in the Army of the American Revolution. On April 27 1833 he died. his tombstone is to be found in Parsippany Cemetery.

The March before his death he had drawn up an agreement between his two sons Hiram Smith Jr. and Samuel P. Smith, by which the lands which were of their mother Eleanor Smith deceased should all come into the possession of Samuel and should belong to him. An article of some interest in this agreement provided that Jack, a negro servant who had served Samuel P. Smith seven years should now serve Hiram J. seven years and then become the joint property of both Hiram and Samuel P. and that they were to be equally responsible for his support and maintenance the rest of his life. The document was witnessed by Walter Kirkpatrick."

Richard Smith evidence:

"Lt. Col. Hiram Smith, born 1756, died 1833. It is from this man that we are all descended. At the age of 20 he entered the Continental Army as a sergeant. His report of his various services - Albany, Johnstown, Ft. Stanwix, For Schuyler, Ticonderoga - is all interesting. (I have always heard that it was at Ticonderoga that he received his Colonelcy.) My great grandfather, often referred to as "Col. Hiram" or "Senior", married first Eleanor Parritt (I can't locate that date.) She was the only daughter of Samuel Parritt, and she came from Albany. Her mother was the daughter of Joseph and Eleanor Allin, Alling, or Allen. Colonel Hiram Smith was a man of affairs in his time and community. He was Justice of the Peace, Member of the State Assembly, Sheriff, County Judge, Major of N. J. Militia, and Trustee of the Parsippany Presbyterian Church. He possessed commanding presence and great dignity of bearing. After marriage to Eleanor Parritt they lived in the Smith homestead on Whippany Road with a porch 2 stories high known to us as Florence Smith's house. They had 8 children, all of whom lived to maturity. After Eleanor Parritt Smith's death in 1810, this site became the household of Col. Hiram and his second wife, Susan Ten Eyck, daughters Nancy and Addie, son Hiram and his wife (Mary Allen Osborn) and their 6 children. Susan Ten Eyck Smith was the widow of Dr. Henry White Darlee of Parsippany. Through this "second consort" we have inherited several fine pieces of furniture. A mirror with a golden eagle atop of it hangs beside me as I write; a settee is now at the Richard Smith Baldwin house. About 1830 grandmother decided that they had better have their own home; so grandfather bought from a Mr. Cobb a house on the ridge about a mile away that is now owned and occupied by my nephew, Richard Smith Baldwin."

Also, this evidence says that he and his 2d wife had no issue.

Parsippany Gravestones:

"Col. Hiram Smith (Revolutionary Soldier) 1756 Apr. 27, 1833." Hiram was born in 1756.³ He was the son of Benjamin Smith and Hannah Dod.

His first wife died on this date.³ Hiram applied for a military pension at New Jersey, USA, on 15 January 1833.⁶ Hiram died on 27 April 1833 at New Jersey, USA.^6,7 His body was interred at Parsippany, Morris, New Jersey, USA, at Parsippany Cemetery.^6,7

Edwin died on 1 March 1991 at Cambridge, Middlesex, Massachusetts, USA, at age 81.³ His body was interred after 1 March 1991 at Cambridge, Middlesex, Massachusetts, USA, at Mount Auburn Cemetery.⁴

     Phebe Parrott The marriage attribution here is suspect. The "logic" is this: This is the only Phebe Parrott I did not have paired up with a husband. First Settlers refers to Phebe Parrott, wife of Caleb Potter. She is the right age, right religion, and living not too far away to make the match to the current Phebe make sense.

First Settlers, p 328:

"Mr. Caleb Potter died 27th May, 1799, aged 49 years. His first wife died 25th April, 1771, aged 31 years [implies she was b 1740]"

The 1740 birth is a problem however, since her putative parents were married in 1745. Could her death year be off by 10 - ie 1781? This would imply her b 1751, which matches her m 1770 and her parents m 1745. Her baptism in 1749 could also mean that she was born b abt 1749 rather than abt 1740.

The d 1771 has another problem. She was married 1770, but had two children. Something is not right! Again, if it were 1781 instead, then everything works.
