Nicholas Parlin may have been the son of John Parlin and may have been born about the year 1640 ^PA22. The records of Cambridge, Middlesex County, Massachusetts state that Nicholas Parlen married Sarah “Hamnore” on November 30, 1665 ^MA26. Nicholas Parlin, the husband of Sarah Parlin, died on March 9, 1721/2, according to the Concord, Middlesex County, Massachusetts records ^MA26.

Sarah Hanmore was the mother of John, Sarah, Hannah, Elizabeth, Mary, Susannah, and Abigail Parlen (or Parlyn) ^MA26, and she was probably the mother of Easter Parlin as well ^MA26. Her surname was spelled “Hamnore” in her marriage record ^MA26.

John Parlen, the son of Nicholas and Sarah, was born on March 31, 1666, according to the records of Cambridge, Middlesex County, Massachusetts ^MA26.

Sarah Parlen, the daughter of Nicholas and Sarah, was born on August 1, 1688, according to the records of Cambridge, Middlesex County, Massachusetts ^MA26. Sarah Parling and Richard Temple, both of Concord, were married by Reverend Joseph Estabrook on April 24, 1688, according to the Concord, Middlesex County, Massachusetts ^MA26. Richard Temple was said to have been the son of Richard and Joanna Temple ^PA22. Sarah and Richard Temple were the parents of two children whose births were recorded in Concord, Middlesex County, Massachusetts; these were Richard Temple, born on February 26, 1691/2, and Joseph Temple, born on August 28, 1694 ^MA26. They may have also been the parents of Sarah Temple, who was said to have been born about 1696 ^PA22. Richard Temple, the husband of Sarah, died on February 16, 1697/8 ^MA26. Sarah Temple and Joseph Brabrook, both of Concord, were married by Reverend Joseph Estabrook on August 29, 1698, according to the Concord, Middlesex County, Massachusetts ^MA26.

Hannah Parlyn, the daughter of Nicholas and Sarah, was born on August 8, 1670, according to the records of Cambridge, Middlesex County, Massachusetts ^MA26. Hannah Parling married Gershom Heald on February 19, 1689/90, according to the Concord, Middlesex County, Massachusetts ^MA26. Gershom was the son of John and Sarah (Dane) Heald ^PA22. Hanah and Gershom (or Gershome) Heald were the parents of six children whose births were recorded in Concord, Middlesex County, Massachusetts ^MA26.

Another Concord birth record indicates that Ester Heald was born to Gershome Heald and Ester, his wife, on October 21, 1709 ^MA26; because Hannah Heald was called Gershom’s widow in his probate record ^AM1, it seems reasonable that this birth record was written or transcribed incorrectly. Gershom Heald of Concord, Middlesex County, Massachusetts died intestate sometime before May 30, 1717, when the inventory of his estate was conducted ^AM1. The administration of his estate was granted to both his widow, Hannah Heald, and to John Heald on September 23, 1717 ^AM1. The children of Gershom and Hannah Heald were written on a document filed with Gershom’s probate record, and the list stated “six children Gershom eldest son… Eliezar 2^d Thomas Hannah Dorothey Hester” ^AM1. The inventory of his estate was conducted on May 30, 1717 and was appraised at over 134 pounds ^AM1:
