Keziah, dau. of Dea. William Brown of Framingham. He was a cloth- ier by trade, and must have settled in Marl. as early as 1778. His residence was in the southerly part of the town, within the limits of the present village of Troy, where he had a fulling-mill a short distance below the saw-mill since owned by Charles Carpenter. Here he worked for several years; and, it being a time when fam- ilies manufactured their own eloth, he found plenty to clo in the usual season for dressing. A share of the public business was also intrusted to his care. He was town clerk in 1784 and 1785, and occupied other impor- tant positions ; and we have no doubt he discharged his duties to the satisfaction of the people. He removed with his family to Cherry Valley, N.Y., in 1788.

Their son, Deliverance, Jr., m., Feb. 11, 1762, Mary Osborne, and settled in Sudbury. They had eight children, among whom were Oliver and Thaddeus, who afterwards settled in Marl. Deliverance, Jr., was a zealous patriot. On the memorable 19th of April, 1775, he was ploughing in the field near his house when the news reached him of the battle of Lexington and Concord. He immediately unyoked his oxen, drove them into the yard, and with gun in hand started on the run to meet the British. He was at the battle of Bunker Hill, and remained in the service till October, when he returned home. The follow- ing spring, he again enlisted, and remained in the army three years.
1 OLIVER PARMENTER, son of Deliverance and Mary (Osborne) Parmenter, was b. in Sudbury, Oct. 12, 1762. He was in the war of the Revolution, entering the ser- vice when only fifteen or sixteen years of age. Soon after the close of the war, he mn. his cousin, a dan. of Jason Parmenter of Bernardston, Mass. He resided in that place until the death of his wife, which took place about 1790. He then came to Marl., worked for his brother Thaddeus a short time, and then purchased a lot of wild land in the north part of the town, now within the limits of Roxbury.

March 15, 1767. He worked with his father, shoemak- ing, till the age of twenty-one. In the spring of 1789, he came on foot from Sudbury to this town, bringing with him all his worldly possessions tied up in a bundle and swung on his axe over his shoulder. He purchased the lot of land in the south-west part of the town which now comprises the farm owned by George A. Nutting. Having been brought up to work in his father's shop, he found himself but poorly prepared for the task he now saw before him. Consequently, he made but little progress at first in levelling the forest. But his neigh- bor, Francis Barker, kindly rendered him assistance, and taught him how to fell the trees to the best advantage, so he soon had quite a clearing. He m., Dec. 3, 1789, Ruth, dau. of Benjamin and Ann (Vose) Tower of Sud- bury, b. Oct. 27, 1762.
