Although Thomas bapt Jan 1701 d Nov 1769 on Great Barns
Island, NY (Thomas Parsell of Great Barns Island, letter
of Adm issued to eldest son John on 22 Nov 1769) Thomas
must have inherited the land of his father in

Background
Excerpt:
Rev. History of Harlem, by James Riker; re Great Barnes
Island at Harlem
Great Barnes Island at Harlem was
sold, 9 Aug., 1687 ,by Jacob Milborne, to Thomas
Parcell. Thomas Parcell1 was a son of John Parcell,
otherwise “John Butcher”, from Huntingdon Co., England,
who early settled at Dutch Kills, L.I., died in 1680, &
left children Thomas, William, Henry & Catherine, with
an estate worth 6,000 guilders. Thomas, born 1653, &
bred a blacksmith, married Catherine van Hattem. On
removing to Great Barents Island, he sold his lands at
Dutch Kills to Bourgon Broucard & Hans Covert, 21 June
1690, for 4,087 L. Parcell built a Grist Mill at the
upper side of his Island. His son John bought the
northern half of the island, 4 June 1722 & on 29 March
1723, Thomas & Christina sold the other half to
son-in-law John Lanyon of NY, innkeeper. Parcell died
prior to 1732 on Spectacle or Hart Island, which he then
owned. He left children Nicholas, John, Henry, Hannah
[married 1. Jeremiah Redding; 2. John Lanyon; 3. Thomas
Behena], & Eda who married Walter Dobbs. Nicholas
married a daughter of Hon. Rip Van Dam. Henry succeeded
to Hart Island. John kept his ½ of Great Barents or
Parcell’s Island, until his death in 1751, age 75 years
[thus born in 1676]; gave it to his son Thomas [ 1 of 9
children] via wife Leah, daughter of Johannes van Alst.
Thomas, who married Deborah, daughter of Capt. William
Penfold, was drowned in Hellgate 1 Aug. 1766 in the
evening, attempting to swim his horse to the island.
Gehena succeeding to Lanyon’s ½ of the island, where it
was mortgaged by his widow in 1765 & eventually passed
to Benjamin Hilldreth. Parcell’s half to kinsman John
William Penfold. Valentine’s manual , 1855 p. 495, gives
more on this island, now Ward’s Island.

A note of J. R.
Burnet (Burnet papers NJHS) states: Nicholas Parcell’s
wife or mother was either sister or daughter to Anthony
or Matthias Swain.
According to the historical
records of the First Presbyterian Church of Springfield,
New Jersey (1745 - 1803), Nicholas Parsil (transcription
of his spelling) and Matthias Swain (used a mark) were
members of the church in 1750. This is roughly the time
period when Nicholas and Rachel were having a family. In
1764, Nicholas Parcel was identified as a trustee of the
church. In 1792, Thomas Parsil, (?) Parcel, and Swain
Parsel all signed a pledge of financial support for the
salary of Rev. Jacob VanArtsdalen. From Mary
Drew’s,widow of Mathias Parcel, pension application that
she and Matthias Parcell were married in Springfield 9
Nov 1781 by Rev. VanArtsdalen.
According to the
“SWAIM-TYSEN Family of Staten Island, New York, New
Jersey, and Southern States”, Anthony Swaim (1719-1758)
and Matthias Swaim (born 1734) sons of Matthias Swaim
and Catherine Mangels Ral both migrated from Staten
Island to Springfield, New Jersey. The last record the
authors have for the parents is the baptism of Matthias
on Staten Island in 1734, speculating they may have
moved to Manhatten where Catherine’s family lived, or
possibly to New Jersey with son Anthony. The earliest
record of Anthony Swaim in Springfield is 1744 when he
built a house there. I suspect that the Matthias Swain
appearing in Springfield church records in 1750 is
Matthias Swaim father of Anthony and Matthias Swaim. The
name Swaim was commonly documented as Swain in this
area. There is no baptismal record for Matthias and
Catherine having a daughter Rachel though the record may
be incomplete as baptisms for the known four children
were recorded in multiple churches. Rachel was a common
name among the Staten Island Swaims, including a
documented sister of the elder Matthias Swaim. Also from
the Port Richmond Staten Island Dutch church baptisms we
have another Rachel.
1728 Apr 22; Johannes Sweem,
Mary Row; Rachel; Lea Sweem . This Johannis Sweem was a
brother of Mathias Swaim who m Cathrina Mangels Rol.
Records of the First Presbyterian Church of
Springfield, New Jersey (1745 - 1803), Nicholas Parsil
and Matthias Swain (used a mark) were members of the
church in 1750.
In the Old Springfield burial ground
there is an Anthony Swaim d 5 July 1758 in his 40th yr.

American Revolutionary
War casualty Thomas Parcell was b. 1744, 34-year-old
Captain Thomas Parcel (a.k.a. Parsil) was mortally
wounded ata skirmish in Connecticut Farms (present day
Union, NJ) in June 1778. He was consequently brought to
his home*, where he died under the shade of a large
locust tree on the Fourth of July, the second
anniversary of the declaration of American independence.
Predeceased by two baby daughters, Lucy and Elizabeth,
Captain Parcel's survivors included his younger brother
Nicholas, who was killed two years later at the Battle
of Springfield, NJ. All are buried here, as is his
widow, Lois. Although she later remarried, she chose to
be buried at the Captain's side after her death 44 years
later. The patriotic Parsil brothers' brown sandstone
steles, cut by the same carver, feature soul effigies of
the portrait type, which was typical of the latter part
of the colonial era. The Captain's bears a grimly
Puritanical inscription that harks back to earlier days:
"Inclosed (sic) within this gloomy Mansion lies
One who was regarded good and wise
When Death's dark
Cloud obscured ye vital Sight
Life's Sun waxed dim &
plunged ye Shade of Night
Attend ye Fair ye wise
surround the Tomb
Peruse these lines to know your
Doom"
Note: From the above will of Capt Thomas
Parcel dated 12 June 1778 we find Capt Thomas as the
eldest of siblings & bequeaths to his minor brothers
Swain, Anthony & Parker land from his Estate. We know he
had a brother Nicholas b 1747 who is not a minor in 1778
when he wrote his will & also a brother Remington who
was not a minor. New information adds a brother Mathias
b 20 April 1754 d 1 Dec 1807 Springfield, Essex,
NJ , also not a minor in 1778. Mathias Parcell
names a dau Catherine presumed after his sister
Catherine & a son Parker presumed after his brother
Parker. The given name Mathias from the Swaim family.

RECORDS OF THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH,* NEWTOWN
(NOW
ELMHURST), QUEENS COUNTY, LONG ISLAND, N. Y.
"The
Newtown Presbyterian Church was founded in 1652, in
which year
the settlement afterwards known as Newtown
Village was commenced.
This name was changed in,
about, 1895 to the present name of Elmhurst.
The
church was at its inception Congregational in form of
government and
all its affairs were considered in
public town meeting and recorded, if recorded
at all,
in the town records. It was not until the pastorate of
the Rev. Samuel
Pumroy that this manner of conducting
the affairs of the church ceased and the
Presbyterian
form of government was instituted.
Samuel Pumroy
commenced his pastorate in 1708. In 1715 he became a
member of the Presbytery of Philadelphia and from that
time the Newtown
Church gradually assumed the
Presbyterian form of government though it
was not
until 1724 that there was a regularly elected session.
In that year
three ruling elders, Content Titus,
James Renne and Samuel Coe, were
elected, and from
that date, June 28, 1724, this religious body became a
fully created Presbyterian Church.
The records of
baptisms, marriages and deaths commenced with the
baptisms
in 1727, the marriages in 1709 and the
deaths in 1728. Previous to the
pastorate of Mr.
Pumroy no such records were kept, or at least none are
now
in existence. In these records some years are
entirely missing while in many
others the entries are
very meagre.
During the entire Revolutionary period
no records were kept, the church
edifice was
destroyed by the British and the congregation scattered.
No records
of the period from 18IO to 1819, which
includes the pastorate of the Rev.
William Boardman,
can now be found; either there were none kept or they
have
been lost.
