Parsons family in Kittery
Hello, Parsons descendants,
Does anyone know the parents of Abigail (Nabby) Parsons, born 20 March, 1785 and who married James Lewis on 7 April 1805 in Kittery? A record on Family Search calls her the daughter of John Parsons and Molly Wilson, but I have no proof of this.
Thanks,
Elizabeth Martin

I was able to glean the following from the Captain Jotham Parsons (1783-1860), a genealogical biography entry at Google Books:
"Molly's will, dated 7 March 1804, probated 16 September 1805, is in YWA #1 12. John's will, dated 8 January 1818, probated 12 July 1819, is in YWA #510. They had the following children: 49 i. Lydia (1783-1850) 50 ii. Abigail (Nabby) (1785->1850) 51 iii. Mary (Molly) (1790-1868) 52 iv. John (1795-1825)
He married second in York 5 August 1806 Mary (Molly) Simpson, bom in York 24 April 1775, baptized in the 1st Parish Church 30 April 1775, died in Kittery 2 November 1845, daughter of Joseph III and Elizabeth (Bragdon) Simpson. (Joseph Simpson's will, dated 3 June 1809, probated 8 September 1810, is in YWA #246.) John and both wives are buried in the Parsons Plot, Kittery." -

Elizabeth Parsons married Charles Stevens of Kittery. They had two daughters and one son. Are they listed in your Parson's Genealogy book? The time was in the early 1800's.
