• Notes

  James Clark Parshall records: "Connected by ties of consanguinity and marriage with many of its oldest and best families; possessed of abundant means; a gentleman in the sense in which the word was then understood, Israel Parshall was one of the most prominent men of his day in Southold. To the very considerable landed estate which he had received from his father, he added from time to time until he became, probably, one of the largest landowners in the township. In 1715, he appears as a private in 'Ye Soffolk Regt. Anno Don 1715, Henry Smith Col., Joseph Wickham Lieut. (Col.), William Smith Major.' Subsequently, in all probability he became Captain of the Southold Company, for toward the latter part of his life he is invariably referred to in contemporary records as "Capt." Israel Parshall. His will, dated 23 June, 1737, proved, 22 May, 1738, mentions his 'wife Mary.' To his son Israel he leaves his real estate, and to his daughters Jemima Terry, Elizabeth Davis, Keziah Mapes and Experience Reeve and to his son-in-law Christopher Youngs, he leaves £50 each. His son James, who was beyond question the eldest son, had died long before the making of the will, and consequently is not mentioned. Israel is the ancestor who, according to the tradition current among the descendants of his nephew Jonathan, fled from France after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes, and this tradition has been embalmed in a so-called history. Israel was born 1680, and the revocation of the Edict occurred 18 Oct., 1685, or when he was about five years of age. It is as clear and certain as anything within the range of human knowledge that Israel Parshall was born, lived and died on Long Island."
