      I believe Elizabeth STRONG who m. Joseph PARSONS 17 Mar 1669
was the dau. of Elder John Strong and Abigail FORD, both of whom may
have come on the "Mary and John" in 1630 to Dorchester.  Elizabeth is
my 7th great aunt.  She d. 12 May 1736.  This is from Vol. 8 of the
Mary and John books, I expect the multi-volume Strong Genealogy would
be a better source.
 
      I believe Sarah STEBBINS who m. David PARSONS 22 Oct 1707 (in
Springfield, MA) was the dau. of Thomas Stebbins and Abigail MUNN.
Thomas was the son of Lieut. Thomas and Abigail BURT (m. 1676),
Lieut. Thomas was son of immigrant Rowland Stebbins and Sarah
(WHITING?). Abigail Munn (b. 1650) was dau. of Abigail BURT and
Benjamin MUNN. This is from The Stebbins Genealogy (1904).  I descend
from Sarah's uncle, John Stebbins.  And yes, if I read this stuff
right, Abigail's mother eventually became her mother-in-law.
 
      If you post an address or send US mail, I'll xerox what I've
got for you.

GENEALOGY                      -------------------------------
In a msg of <Friday April 03 1992>, Bill Allen writes to Jack Robertson:

 BA> PARSONS - John MUNN married Abigail PARSONS 23 Dec 1680 in
 BA> Springfield. Her father - Benjamin b. before 1630, Devon, England, 
died 6
 BA> Oct Windsor, CT. Do you have any prior information about this family's

 BA> ancestors? His wife Sarah VORE (VOARE). Thanks, Bill

Yes, I have a few sources for you.  The PARSONS info seems to come in many 
varieties, and beyond Benjamin, is arguable, so I have not included it in 
my pedigree other than in the notations.  The first reference is very well 
done :

"The Parsons Family, Descendants of Cornet Joseph Parsons (c1693-
1782) Through his Grandson Jonathan Parsons (1693-1782)", G.J.
Parsons, Gateway Press, Inc., 1984.

See also, "Were Joseph and Benjamin Parsons and David Wilton of Beaminster, 
Dorset, England, the New England Colonists ?", Gerald Parsons, NEHGS 
Register, April 1989.

I also have a copy of part of a fan chart someone made including the link 
from Benjamin to Hugh PARSONS :

Thomas PARSONS  of Great Milton, Oxfordshire, England, m. Katherine HESTER
19 Oct 1535, she of Sydenham, near Thames.  He was buried at Great Milton 
23 May 1597.  His will dated 1 July 1584 was proved by his eldest son 
Thomas....also mentioned were sons Hugh, Richard, & Francis...

Hugh PARSONS (son of Thomas above) baptized 27 Nov 1563.  m1. ___ COVENTRY, 
m2. Elizabeth BAGSHAWE THOMPKINS.  His will was proved 20 May 1643.  He 
removed from Great Milton to Sandford where entries respecting his children 
can be found.

Now supposedly, Deacon Benjamin PARSONS was the son of Hugh, but the 
reference materials argue this.  For him, I had b. England, m Sarah 
VORE/VOARE 3 Oct 1653, d. 24 Aug 1689 at Springfield, Mass.

Sarah VORE b. probably Dorchester, Mass., d. 1 Jan 1675/1676 at 
Springfield. Daughter of Richard VORE and Ann _____.
