The ones in bold are my direct ancestors.
I did not do all the research myself. Accuracy varies, naturally. This is the abbreviated version of the info
that I have.
There is an embarrassment of riches in the the downline from Parley Howe. There is, bluntly, too much to publish here until some rainy year when I'm totally bored. Maybe too much even for then. Meanwhile, if you'd like lots and lots of information contact my cousin Ollie Howe at ohowe@willapabay.org . He has books of Howe descendancies for the families in this downline. (Cost of materials plus shipping.) They are nicely laid out and have as many pictures as possible. If you're descended from Parley Howe and you are NOT in contact with him yet, I urge you to make contact with him immediately!
In direct contrast, no one (of the many researchers in this family) has been able to get any solid evidence that Parley Howe actually had parents, or if he did, that they left any records. So, if anyone has any evidence of Parley Howe's ancestors, I also encourage you to get in contact.
Parley Howe and Deborah Hulet settled in Mansfield New York in about 1825 or 1830.
Despite intense research by a number of people, no ancestors for Parley Howe have been proven to date.

He married Effie Adela Lyon on 28 April 1881. They lived in Fall City for many, many years and ran a chicken farm. Both are buried in Fall City Cemetery.
Effie Adela Lyon grew up as an only child, even if she was the sixth child born. The other five children had died from an epidemic before she was born.

Elsie died 19 April 1914 from complications of German measles when she already had heart and lung problems and had had three babies in three years. Then Charlie Whitfield married Gertrude Howe Ranf on 25 October 1915. Gertrude was a cousin and a friend of Elsie's and was a widow with one child.
