The following information was gathered from various sources.

Note: The spelling of "Parmelee" is sometimes seen as "Parmalee." Ezra Parmelee Prentice's gravestone (this Ezra's grandfather) clearly shows "Parmelee," also the Boston Globe, Jan. 18, 1901 spells it "Parmelee," so that's what I'll use here.
