Parsons, James B. (James Bunyan)

According to Hinshaw, there was a James B. Parsons, son of Samuel and Mary Parsons of Flushing, N.Y. who married Eliza Cock in 1831 in N.Y., and died in 1894. The dates are appropriate, but not a confirmation that the letter writer was this James B. Parsons. There is no James B. Parsons listed in Quaker Meetings in New York, esp. Flushing Monthly Meeting where there were a lot of Parsons.
