• Notes:

  "It is assumed, there being no proof to the contrary, that he was a son or grandson of John Parkhurst, bishop of Norwich [England], born 1511, died 1574. In Burke's "General Armory" it is stated that in the second year of the reign of Queen Elizabeth the family had a coat-of-arms granted them, and from the same source it appears that the family were seated in Norfolk county, England (London), where in 1635 a Sir Robert Parkhurst was lord mayor, and in Guilford county, Surrey; the name means "Wooded Park," and indicates that the family were "caretakers." The Parkhurst arms are: Shield, silver cross ermine in each quarter, a brick trippant (walking). Crest: A demi griffin with wings addorsed in black holding the dexter paw a certlass in silver with hilt and pommel of gold; ground of shield of all of the above purple. Motto: "The Cross our Stay."

  "George Parkhurst immigrated to America in 1635. He brought at least two children with him, (George Jr. and Phoebe). He is known to have lived in Watertown in 1642. In 1643, he was admitted as a Freeman. He married his second wife, Susanna, widow of John Simpson, in 1645. They had no children. That same year he sold his Watertown property and they moved to Boston.
  "He may have also owned land in Chelmsford, Massachusetts.
