"Samuel Parkman's store was on Merchants' Row. His house stood on the corner of Green and Chardon streets. The Electric Railway Station now occupies his old site. He built two houses for his two daughters on a part of his large garden, which still stand facing Bowdoin Square between Green and Cambridge streets.

Samuel Parkman, with Elias Hasket Derby, of Salem, Samuel and William Shaw, of Boston, and a few other merchants of the day, amassed a large fortune in exporting indigo, tar, turpentine, masts, etc., and bringing back from India and China vessels laden with the rich manufactures of those countries.

In 1801 he presented to the Westborough Church the first bell which had ever rung to call the people to worship, and the day that they voted their thanks to him they decided to add a steeple to their plain meeting-house. This was afterwards taken down, and the "old Arcade," as we know it, may have resembled the church as it was in the minister's day more nearly than the building reconstructed from the recollections of our "oldest inhabitants." The bell, cast by Paul Revere, is now in the belfry of the Baptist Church.

Among the portraits hanging in Faneuil Hall are two presented by Samuel Parkman; one of Peter Faneuil, by Col. Henry Sargent, the other a full-length of Washington, standing by his white horse, by Stuart." from: https://archive.org/stream/diaryofrevebenez00park/diaryofrevebenez0...

1/10/2015 Following the line from Capen Family (1500s-1600s) down to Calvin Coolidge on famouskin.com. This is where I got birth, death, marriage, spouse and most other info while drilling down then following back up and then down again to connect President Grant and President Calvin Coolidge, even though I previously found Grant. I had seen a connection with Coolidge. That would Only be on the people that I made and copied this note on, then took it further to Col Robert Gould Shaw. CTC:
