Biographical History

James Dalrymple was born on March 4, 1757, in Sudbury, Massachusetts, and served with the Continental Army in the Battle of Bunker Hill. He married Azubah Parmenter (1764-1850) on December 1, 1780, and the couple moved to Framingham, Massachusetts, where they lived until 1819, when they relocated to Marlborough, Massachusetts. James Dalrymple died in Leominster, Massachusetts, on July 5, 1847. The Dalrymples had nine children: William (1781-1811), Henry (1784-1814), Asenath (1786-1873), Ezekiel (1789-1819), John (1792-1830), James, Jr. (1796-1835), Ann (1798-1825), Sally (1800-1810), and Eliza (b. 1806).

William Dalrymple moved to Boston in 1807 and remained there until moving to Montréal, Québec, in 1809. He held a variety of jobs throughout his life and often visited distant areas of the province of Québec; he died during such a journey in December 1811. Henry Dalrymple, a cooper in Watertown, Massachusetts, married Catherine Tileston in 1807. He died of bullet wounds while serving in the United States Army during the War of 1812.

Asenath Dalrymple married three times, to Samuel Clark, Josiah Randall, and Samuel Mead, and had one daughter with her first husband. Ezekiel Dalrymple became a privateer and was presumed dead after the disappearance of his vessel off of the Brazilian coast. John Dalrymple, a shoemaker, and his wife, Judith Loring, moved to Boston around 1822.

James Dalrymple, Jr., became a dance instructor and worked in Framingham and Boston before moving to Austerlitz, New York, where he died on August 28, 1835. He and his wife, Sophia Warren, had six children. Ann Dalrymple lived in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and died of dysentery in 1835.

Sally Dalrymple died of spotted fever at the age of ten. Eliza, the Dalrymples' youngest child, became a teacher in Marlborough before marrying Seth Coggswell of Leominster, Massachusetts, where she moved in 1832.
