94 6;^tfstt)om testify with what correctness and spirit, with what instructive solidity and elegant vivacity, she could write. " Such was her courage and firmness of resolution as you can seldom find in the delicate sex. . . . " Her indefatigable industry in the affairs of her family was truly remarkable. " Her knowledge of Geography and History, especially her critical acquaintance with Church History, was truly rare. " Knowledge in Divinity enters deep into her character. Comparatively but few of her sex, I believe, have had their minds more enriched with that treasure. . . . " She was a person of much christian simplicity and integrity ; of an upright, sincere and conscientious turn of mind ; and sly deceit. . . . a bitter enemy to all unchristian craftiness " Though she was honorably descended, and lived in an honorable station, yet she could, without the least self-denial, condescend to the meanest of the human race. . . . " She was possest of great sensibility of heart, was much acquainted with the tender and delicate emotions of humanity and sympathy. . . ."" A son of Rev. Jonathan and Phoebe (Griswold) Parsons was Colonel, afterwards General, Samuel Holden^ Parsons (b. 1737); who studied law with his uncle Gov. Matthew Griswold, was made King's Attorney in 1774, and removed to New London. At the commencement of the Revolution he entered actively into military service, was at the battle of Bunker Hill, was made a Brigadier General in 1776, distin- guished himself in the battle of Long Island, and was appointed Major General. After the war he removed to Middletown, Conn., resumed the practice of his profession, and was an active member of the Convention which ratified the Constitution of the United States in Connecticut, of which his uncle Gov. Griswold was the President. Under an appointment as Commissioner of Connecticut, he obtained from the Indians a cession of their title to the "Western Reserve" of Ohio, and was afterwards made the first Judge of the Northwestern Territory by Washington, his confidential friend.® '* A Funeral Sermon .
