PALLET.
Tradition says that the first settler of the part of C. called "Palletborough" was Joseph Pallet. This district or borough was named for him and was called "Palletborough" as late as 1885, when the prefix Pallet was left off and the district was known as the "Borough."
Joseph Pallet was said to be of Spanish descent and came to this country stowed away in the hold of a ship, which landed probably at Portsmouth. From thence he worked his way to Hampton and came up from there with the Sanborns and others who settled in C. in the late years of the eighteenth century.

PARKINSON.
1. According to tradition, WILLIAM and ESTHER (Wood) PARKINSON were natives of Scotland. They were kin to the Scotch Livingstons, who settled in N. Y. and N. J. In 1741, they were residents of London- derry, Ireland. In 1744, they came to Londonderry, and later they rem. to Princeton, N. J.
2. HENRY2 PARKINSON (William) was b. in 1741, in Londonderry, Ireland. He rem. with his parents to Londonderry, in 1744; was a graduate of Princeton College in 1764, and is supposed to have been a teacher there for some time. Soon after the Battle of Lexington, he enlisted in Capt. George Reid's Co. from Londonderry, which was embodied in the 1st Reg. under Col. John Stark. Parkinson was chosen quartermaster at Stark's request. He continued with the regiment until shortly after Stark's resignation. In the spring of 1777, he contracted with parties to clear land for him in Francestown. The records of that town show that in 1779, he was chairman of its committee of safety, and that he was town clerk for three years ending March, 1781. He rem. to Pembroke in 1781, and his home was there for about three years. "He maintained a superior school at Concord from about 1784 to 1794." The remainder

His tombstone bears the following inscription: "Henry Parkinson, long distinguished as an excellent classical Preceptor," and an epitaph in Latin written by himself. It reads: "Hibernia me genuit. America nutrivit. Nassau Hall educavit; docui militavi atque manibus lab- oravi; sic cursum meum finivi, et nunc terra me occupat, et quiete in pulvere dormio, quasi in gremio materno meo; huc ades amice mi care; aspice et memento ut moriendum quoque certe sit tibi. Ergo vale, et cave." Rev. William Patrick in his historical sermon gives this Eng- lish rendering: "Ireland gave me birth; America nourished me; Nas- sau Hall educated me; I have taught; I have fought, and with my hands have I labored; I have finished my course; and now the earth contains me, and quietly do I sleep in the dust, as in my maternal bosom; come hither my dear friend; behold me, and remember that you also must certainly die. Therefore, farewell; consider!" Children:

PATRICK. Prepared by Luther M. Cody.
The Patricks of C. are descended from Matthew1 Patrick who came to Amer- ica from the North of Ireland about 1724, and settled among a colony of Scotch-Irish in Western, now Warren, Mass. "The fact that his descend- ants," says a writer on Patrick genealogy, "married exclusively among known Scotch-Irish families, leads to the belief that he also was Scotch-Irish." The Patricks took a prominent part in the affairs of the town of Warren. Mat- thew's son John held the office of selectman in 1754, '61, '71, '73, '75, '76;
