In my last message, I should have said that I have marriage records for Parchmanns in Mecklenburg for the late 1700s, not 1800s.

Hi Peggy!

I'm still around, and am now retired at 69. I still have all my correspondence with the distant cousins from the 70s. I hope to include some of it in my Parchman Family History Book, which I'm now working on.

I now have about 5000 documents and over 6000 names connected to my tree after 30 years and about 10,000 hours of work, but these include all 4 of my own grandparents' lines. The 2 brothers who went to Tennessee have many more descendants with the name since thos lines had lots of sons. The Perchment name died out with William (born 1925) after his son Patrick was adopted and took a new surname.

There are about 2000 descendants of Nicholas Parchman in my tree, but I don't usually follow the lines of the daughters of each generation beyond their own children. Otherwise, I calculate there would be over a million descendants by my 8th generation, most without the Parchman/Perchment/Parchment name. (assuming 8 surviving children per generation to reproduce up to the 6th generation, which then drops to about 5 reproducing survivors by the 7th generation, and to 3 by the 8th generation) If I include my grandson's 10th generation (with only about 2 reproducing survivors per generation), there would be about 7 million descendants of Nicholas. Of course sometimes cousins married cousins, so the actual number would be smaller.

By the way, I have found 2 earlier documents for Nicholas. He was in George Washington's colonial militia in Winchester, VA during the French and Indian War in 1758. In 1760, he signed as a witness for a deed in Winchester. Some legends say he was in the Fort Pitt area by 1763, but I have no evidence yet. The Indian depredations were still pretty bad in Western PA until after the Revolution, since the Quaker government signed a treaty with the Indians prohibiting white settlement until 1768.

I have searched hundreds of hours to connect him back to Germany to no avail. He is not on ANY ship's lists of immigrants. There were a number of Parchmanns in Westphalia in the late 1600s, and even a Nicolas Parchmann in one record in the early 1700s, but no proofs of connections.

I traveled to Parchim in Mecklenburg in 1997, but there were no Parchmanns there. I have Parchmann marriage records from Mecklenburg for the late 1800s. According to the German telephone directory, most Parchmans today live in an area between Hamburg and Mecklenburg, although there are a few in Berlin.

GParchman — 2007-08-25 23:40:25Z

According to research I have done for the last 30 years on the Parchman ancestry, William Perchment (born 1925) had the following lineage:
George William Perchment (born ~1893)
Henry Leonard Perchment (born 1871)
William Perchment (born ~1830)
Peter Perchment (born 1801)
Peter Parchman/Perchment (born 1755)
Nicholas Parchman/ Parchment (born about 1730-1735 presumably in Germany)

Nicholas presumably had 4 sons. John and Philip (with the name Parchman) moved to middle Tennesse about 1789. Jacob was scalped by Indians in West Virginia in 1785, and Peter (named Parchman and Perchment in war records and pension applications) remained behind in Pittsburgh, where he was a pioneer of the city, having fought for Virginia (which claimed Fort Pitt) in the Revolution. One of Peter's daughters (Mary Perchment Forsythe) was an ancestor of the Mellons apparently. The Perchment family was on the social register in Pittsburgh around 1870 to 1900. One of Peter's grandsons married the daughter of the owner of the largest department store in Pittsburgh.

GParchman — 2007-08-25 23:10:36Z

I have been doing genealogy research for 30 years on the Parchman/Parchment/Perchment clans and have most names from 1750 to 1930 connected to the family. The Ohio clan descended from William Perchment (b 1830 in Pittsburgh), the son of Peter Perchment (born 1801), the son of Revolutionary soldier Peter Parchman/Perchment. All Of the descendants of the soldier took the name of Perchment, while the descendants of Peter's 2 brothers (John and Philip, who moved to Tennessee about 1789) took the name of Parchman. Peter's war records are mostly in the name of Parchman, as are some tax records. I think William left home in a huff when his father remarried, and went down the Ohio as a river as a boat joiner and settled in Cincinnati, where he was listed as a house carpenter in 1880 census. He was identified as the grandson of Mary Perchment (wife of the soldier) in her will. William's line is the only one with the Perchment name that survived past 1900, since all the other descendants left only female heirs, as there were few males, and they died young. William had 4 children by Oromina--Charles A, William, Ella, and Henry Leonard. I think that the latter William went by the name of John W Perchment, since he was the right age and appeared in the 1880 census, then as a soldier from Ohio in the Spanish American War and in the Yukon Territory in some indexes. I have a little more information if you contact me.

Peggy, sorry to hear about your neck, I'm feeling some of those pains as well, I guess we are not as spry as we used to be.

Most of my work has been in the Perchments and some Powells. I don't have much more on Mary either.

Paul,
Sorry I Don't have alot of info about Bill and Ruby. You are right, it is a touchy subject were my aunt is concerned. However, Sherry, who is my 1st cousin (Ruby and my mother were sisters)May be able to talk to her mom and find out more. Sherry lives in Troy, as well as her brother Pat and his Family. I'll make it a point to get up there and see her as soon as the weather breaks.

Ruby and Bill had two Children together. Sherry was Born in 1953, Pat was born in 1954 or 1955. Not sure when Ruby Married Hearld Schroeder, But they had their first child in 1956, that died a very short time after being born. their next child Cindy was born in 1957 and their last child ,Gary was born abour 1958 or 59.
Hope this helps some.

Bonnie,

It's been a while and I was going back through some email and notes.

As I mentioned I'm gathering everything I can about the Perchments.

Do you know anymore about your Aunt Ruby's first marriage, perhaps where and when? Was her maiden name Dean?

I don't want to pry into touchy areas, but how old were the children when they were adopted?

This is very interesting because the Perchment name has basically stopped. I have not found anyone who still carries the family name.

If I understand it, there were the 2 children born as Perchments, but later adopted by Harold Schoder- very interesting.

One more, and how are you related? Sorry for so many quetions.

-Paul

Re: william perchment of ohio

2006-07-20 03:44:38Z

Paul,
William's wife's name was Ruby Dean. They had two children, Patrick and Sherry. The children were adopted by Ruby's second husband, Harold Schroder.
if I can be of more help let me know.

Bonnie,

Helen A. Kreiger Perchment married George Perchment. They had a child William. Helen passed away early this spring, the obit mentioned that a son William had preceeded her in death.

This must be the same William.

Your aunt married William? What was her name? Did they have any children?

I'm gathering all the information I can on Perchments.

Mike, I think the pieces are starting to fit together.

I just read in the Montgomery, Ohio message board that Helen A. Kreiger passed away in March. The obit stated that William her son preceeded her in death .

This must be the same William that Bonnie was referring to.

Hi,

I corresponded with an apparent relative of yours, Larry Starkey, in the 70s when we were both doing research on the Parchman/Perchment line. I've also corresponded with Michael Edwards about the connection of William Perchment in Ohio to the Perchments in Pennsylvania. I think I made the connection between the families.

Sorry...but I've just started researching this line and haven't found much. As soon as I make a connection, and I probably will, I'll drop you a note and let you know what I find. Sorry I couldn't have been of much help for you.

Re: Perchment

2002-05-19 22:19:41Z

Paul,
Here's what I've found so far....
Orominal Perchment (nee UNK) b. 1846 in OH married ?
- Charles A. Perchment b. Nov 1861 in OH m. Jessie S. b. abt 1975 in OH
- Charles E. Perchment b. abt 1914 in OH
- Henry Leonard Perchment b. Nov 1871 in OH married Mary "Mamie" Kearsey b. July 1872 in OH
- Henry "Harry" Perchment b. Apr 1892 in OH d. Oct 9, 1918 of Pneumonia during military service in WWI
- George William Perchment b. Dec 9, 1892 in Hamilton County, Cincinnati, OH d. Dec 12, 1963 in Montgomery County, Dayton, OH married Helen A.
- Clara Katherine Perchment b. Aug 1899 d. abt 1962 married Charles Forest Edwards
- Dorothy "June" Edwards b. Jun 5, 1924 in Hamilton County, Cincinnati, OH d. Jun 25, 1991, Duval County, Jacksonville, FL married to Edward Marvin Hutchinson b. Apr 22, 1923 in Hamilton County, Cincinnati, OH d. Apr 14, 1986 in Hamilton County, Cincinnati, OH
- Ella Mae Edwards (unconfirmed)
- Mary Edwards (unconfirmed)

That's about all I have been able to gather....using internet and birth/death certificates I was able to obtain. My Dad's family haven't been much help in any info about the Edwards' or Perchment families. My father's father is unknown and my Grandmother married Mr. Hutchinson soon after he was born. Most of my Dad's siblings are Hutchinson's so most of the Edwards/Perchment info is lost with time. So, I'm starting from scratch hoping to get lucky.
Hope this helps and you can pass along any info about your Perchment side. Would love to know how far you have gotten.
Hope to hear from you soon....
