<p>The Parmelee connection comes from the ancestors of the <a href="ngp-ancestry-charts/ac-travis-osborne" title="Lineage Link">Omar Travis Osborne</a> branch of the tree. He is the 10th great-grandson of <a href="ngp-descendent-lines/john-parmelee">John Parmelee</a>, and the bloodline is as follows:</p>
<blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>John Parmalee (m. Alice Russel) -&gt; John Parmelee (m. Anne Howell) -&gt; John Parmelee (m. Rebecca Unknown) -&gt; Nathaniel Parmelee (m. Sarah French) -&gt; Nathaniel Parmelee (m. Esther Kelsey) -&gt; Hiel Parmelee (m. Eunice Gardner) -&gt; Giles Parmelee (m. Unknown) -&gt; Ephraim Parmely (m. Mary Hinds) -&gt; Elizabeth Parmley (m. Jesse Gibson) -&gt; Ephraim Parmley Gibson (m. Rebecca McIlhaney) -&gt; Mary Jane Gibson (m. Charles P. Osborne) -&gt; William L. Osborne (m. Annie Laura Curry) -&gt; Omar Travis Osborne.</p>
</blockquote>
</blockquote>
<p>Although there are records of earlier Parmelees in Europe who probably are ancestors of John Parmelee, researchers have not yet connected them to the John of Lewes, the patriarch of the Parmelee descendants in Connecticut and beyond. John ( - 1583) is the last of the Parmelee's to remain in England and is the father of John Sr. in America.</p>
