Jonathan Parkin and Ann Morley were married in 1771 at their parish church, Wath-upon-Dearne, Yorkshire, England. They made their home in Jonathan's chapelry, Wentworth, where they lived in the hamlet of Thorpe Hesley. Thorpe Hesley is located where the chapelry of Wentworth and the parishes of Ecclesfield and Rotherham meet, causing some confusion in records.

To Jonathan and Ann came five children. The christening entries of two of these are indeed unusual in the amount of detail they contain. Following are all five (recorded at Wentworth), the first three giving the average amount of information in parish registers:
1772 Apr 6  Lucy daughter of Jonathan Parkin.
1773 Aug 15  Charlotte daughter of Jonathan Parkin.

Thomas LAPHAM [Parents] was born ¹ on 10 Dec 1705 in Dartmouth, Bristol, Massachusetts, United States. He died ² on 5 Jan 1779 in Smithfield, Providence, Rhode Island, United States. Thomas married ³ Abigail WILBUR on 4 Feb 1729/1730 in Dartmouth, Bristol, Massachusetts, United States.

Thomas Lapham was admitted freeman at Smithfield, 4 Feb. 1755; was Deputy to the General Court almost continuously from 1747 to 1752; was appointed a Commissioner to run a boundary in 1750; and was Judge of the Court of Common Pleas, 1750-60 and l763-64. His will, made

124  THE AMERICAN GENEALOGIST

17 Aug. 1775, is recorded at Smithfield; in it he left £33 "unto my three grandsons David Whipple, Job Whipple and Ephraim Whipple to be equally divided between them."
(Probate Records, Smithfield, 1769-97, pp. 392-3; for the Whipple connection, see his daughter Silvia, below.)
It was the opinion of S. F. Peckham that Thomas Lapham moved from Dartmouth to Smithfield soon after his marriage in 1730. He settled in the Blackstone Valley where he built his first house near the village of Albion. In 1766 he built another house on the high land nearly a mile and a half due west of Mannville. This was a large two-story house typical of that period and locality and is still (1947) standing. In his will he left this property, his Homestead Farm, to his son, Augustus Lapbam, who lived there until his death in 1828. In a field back of this house Is an old Lapham Burying Ground where Thomas and his wife are undoubtedly buried. There are some twenty stones, but, as was the custom among Friends, few of them are marked. Among those marked are the stones of David, Abigail and Lillis the three children of Thomas who died in November, 1753.
S. F. Peckham wrItes: "The Laphams must have owned a large tract of land west of Mannville and Albion. Here he [Thomas Lapham] carried on large farming operations, was clerk of the Friends  Meeting and later an Elder... Whether he assisted in organizing the Smithfield Upper Friends  Meeting at Union Village, now a part of Woonsocket, I know not, but it is quite certain he was very active in organizing the Smithfield Lower Meeting near Lonsdale which has been called the ‘Old Friends'  Meeting House for more than a century."

Abigail WILBUR [Parents] was born ¹ on 9 Sep 1711 in Portsmouth, Newport, Rhode Island, United States. She died ² about 1785 in Smithfield, Providence, Rhode Island, United States. Abigail married ³ Thomas LAPHAM on 4 Feb 1729/1730 in Dartmouth, Bristol, Massachusetts, United States.

Robert BACKHOUSE [scrapbook] was born in 1714 in of Yoxford, Suffolk, England, United Kingdom. He was buried on 17 Sep 1795 in Carlton, Suffolk, England, United Kingdom. Robert married Elizabeth NEWSON on 18 Nov 1745 in St Peter's, Sibton, Suffolk, England, United Kingdom.

Robert had a will on 16 Apr 1795 in Carlton, Suffolk, England, United Kingdom. His will was probated on 19 Sep 1795 in Carlton, Suffolk, England, United Kingdom.

ROBERT BACKHOUSE and ELIZABETH NEWSON

By Myrtle Stevens Hyde, l965

The picturesque little English villages of Yoxford and Sibton are often called “the garden of Suffolk.” Springtime finds them “very lovely with glorious daffodils and beds of primroses everywhere. The trees too are all bursting with green and blossoms.” (Letter from B. W. Hood, Yoxford vicarage.)

In this setting, in the spring of 17145, Robert Backhouse, a young man living at Yoxford, was courting a young woman, Elizabeth Newson, who lived at Sibton. Some months later he won her hand, as testified by the following entry. in the Sibton Parish Registers:

Robert Backhouse of Yoxford, singleman, and Elizabeth Newson, singlewoman, of this parish married Nov. 18, 1745.

Robert was a farmer, and, with his wife, lived in the Sibton area for a few years, here being born their first two children. In about 17149 they moved two or three miles to the Carlton-Kelsale area, and there raised their children, including the five born after their move. (Kelsale and Canton Parish Registers.)

Robert and Elizabeth remained in Canton the rest of their lives. In April of 1795, Robert, having arrived at a good old age, wrote his will (reproduction on next page). He died in September of that year, aged eighty-one, and Elizabeth died the following year. (Carlton Par­ish Register.)

Joseph PARKIN was born about 1704 in of Ecclesfield, Yorkshire, England, United Kingdom. Joseph married Ann FOSTER on 13 Nov 1729 in Ecclesfield, Yorkshire, England, United Kingdom.

JOSEPH PARKIN and ANN FOSTER

In the parish of Ecclesfield, Yorkshire, England, there are several small hamlets. Joseph Parkin, a nailer, and his wife, the former Ann Foster, lived in a couple of them, Loundside in 1730 and Lane End in 1733 and 1736. Children were christened in those years. The couple had been married in 1729 at the Eccles­field parish church.

The family next moved into the neighboring chapelry of Wentworth, where six more children were christened during the years 1737 to 1748. The family residence was, at least during Joseph's and Ann's later years, in the hamlet of Thorpfield­side.

Joseph died before 1782 (there is a gap in the record of Wentworth burials 1756-1777), as in 1782 Ann is called a widow in the will of their son Samuel. Samuel, who had prospered and was called “Gentleman,” also names his brothers and sisters, appointing his brothers executors.

Ann's burial entry, of 4 December 1788, has the following: “Ann widow of Jos­eph Parkin Nailer of Thorpfieldside aged 84 decay.”
