Upon what authority, we are quite at a loss to discover. 1773. Theodore Parsons.* 1779. This was the youngest brother of the late Judge P., and whose life began with high promise. He entered, the War being still in progress, as a surgeon on board an armed ship (ihe Bennington) ; and the vessel was soon after hemmed in amid the ice of the river St. Lawrence, when all on board perished in a lamentable manner. Mr. P. as a young man of scientific spirit, became one of the founders of the American Academy, where his name is seen in the original Act. As this, however, bears date in 1780, it really casts some faint doubt upon the idea of his having died a year before. 1770. Abner Smith.* 1843. A native of Springfield ; minister of Derby, Ct.

(his own location the revisers will hardly ven- ture to name) died at least twenty-Jive years prior to the a- bove dale. See the Triennial Cat. of 1748. 1726. Joseph Pynchon.* 1754. Again betrayed by confiding in Winthrop. J. P. a physician of Springfield, and J. of P. of Hampshire co. removed eventually to Boston, and outlived nearly a dozen years his above-given period of life. Suffolk Prob.
