notes

"Not only have I stumbled across fresh 17th century data on the family, but the family has turned up in a new parish! The burial record of Anne Howell, the first of John Sr.'s five wives, has turned up at St. Wulfran, right, an ancient church in Ovingdean, a village just east of Brighton in East Sussex. A bishops transcripts entry for "Annie Parmely" includes a notation that she was John's wife of "St. Miychells in Lewes." Buried Feb. 3, 1629, she was John's wife of nearly 21 years and the mother of at least seven children, only one of whom -- John Jr. -- survived childhood. Anne was the daughter of John and Anne (Geare) Howell of Rottingdean, which is just east of Ovingdean."

"St. Wulfran, the "little church" first mentioned in the 1086 Domesday Book, is a Norman building whose tower was built about 1216 and contains a bell made in 1430. The church is about eight miles south and west of Lewes. Until now, all records for the Parmelees who helped found Guilford, Conn., in 1639 have been in the Lewes parishes of All Saints (1572 to 1620) and St. Michael (1632 to 1638). Anne's burial is the first to fall in that 12-year gap -- let's hope there's more!"
