HOME AND HEARTH |
Their son Ebenezer (1690-1777) and his family lived in the house and passed it on to Ebenezer Jr. (1738-1802), whose portrait hangs in an upstairs bedroom. The house sits at 84 Boston St., once the main road from Boston to New York City. Express rider Israel Bissel galloped west past the Parmelee home about sunrise on April 21, 1775, on his way from Boston to New York, awakening the town with the news of the Battles of Lexington and Concord two days earlier. The house passed out of the family's hands in 1793. Here is a collection of old family homes: |
