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. 1.

PARKINSON. 1. According to tradition, WILLIAM and ESTHER (Wood) PARKINSON were natives of Scotland. They were kin to the Scotch Livingstone, who settled in N.Y. and N.J. In 1741, they were residents of Londonderry, Ireland. In 1744, they came to Londonderry, and later they rem. to Princeton, N.J. 2. HENRY(2) PARKINSON (William(1)) 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 of his life was spent in C., where Page 277 he owned a farm on which he built a house and a mill. His life work was teaching the classics and higher English. He m. Sept., 17, 1777 or 1778, Janet McCurdy of Londonderry. He d. 28 May, 1820, and he was buried in the cemetery at C. Center. 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 laboravi; 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 English rendering: "Ireland gave me birth; America nourished me; Nassau 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: i. ESTHER WOOD(3), b. 20 or 29 Dec., 1779, in Francestown; m. Daniel Blanchard of Northfield. Four children; d. 29 May, 1829. ii.

The Patricks of C. are descended from Matthew(1) Patrick who came to America from the North of Ireland about 1724, and settled among a colony of Scotch-Irish in Western, now Warren, Mass. "The fact that his descendants," 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. Matthew's son John held the office of selectman in 1754, '61, '71, '73, '75, '76; Page 278 while his son Matthew, as Rep. to the General Court from the town of Warren, voted the Federal Constitution. Matthew Patrick was b. in 1681 and d. according to the gravestone record in Warren, 10 Nov., 1767. From this record it appears that his wife's name was Mary. Children: 1. i. JOHN(2). ii. Thomas. iii.

A much respected citizen of C. was JOHN J. RAILEY, whose home for many years was on Zion's Hill. He was b. in Kilbrittain, County of Cork, Ireland, 11 Sept., 1843. His father and mother with their five children emigrated to this country in 1847 and landed in Boston with no means of support except their daily labor. The mother d. in Nov., following their arrival, and the children were left to care for themselves while the father was at work. A pathetic incident in Mr. Railey's early life led to his coming to C. One Sunday when he was but nine years of age, he was arrested for playing marbles on Boston Common. No notice of his arrest was sent to his father, and no one appearing in his defense, he was sent to the reform school at Deer Island as a stray child. Here he remained for two years, when he was bound out as an apprentice to Robert Eastman of East Concord. Life in this family not proving congenial, he ran away, and, by the aid of John Hutchins, a section boss on the old B.C. & M. Railroad, he was taken on a hand car to C. depot and from thence to the home of the sisters, Polly and Jane Haines on Zion's Hill. They adopted him and their house was his home until their death. It was not until years after that he learned anything of his own family. His father had d. without knowing what had become of his son. Mr. Railey enlisted in 1862 in Co. G, 2d Regt., S. Sharpshooters, and served until 4 Dec., 1864, when he was discharged for disability, having been wounded at Gettysburg. He now returned to the Haines sisters and cared for them until their death. They, in appreciation of his services, left him their property. In 1873, Mr. Railey sold the farm on Zion's Hill and removed to Leominster, Mass., which is now his home. In both C. and Leominster, he he has been honored by his fellow-citizens with election to office. He has also served as Commander of his Post of the G. A. R. in Leominster, and his photograph has been placed in the Hall of Heroes in the State House at Concord. 1. Mr. Railey m. first, 15 April, 1868, Augusta C., dau. of Jonathan B.
