Letters to Stuart Parmelee of East Hampton, Connecticut, from his brother William Parmelee on the whale ship William Tell, from his nephew Charles M. Parmelee, and from government agencies about the death of George Parmelee. Both George and Charles served in the army during the Civil War, George with the 4th Regiment, Connecticut Volunteers, and Charles with the 25th Regiment. Stuart's papers also include a court document, 1849, and a lease, 1851. The papers of Elijah Clark include financial records, a statement certifying his ability to teach school, a booklet he used when collecting taxes in Chatham, two incoming letters, and a statement about expenses settling Captain Griffith's estate signed by Chauncey Clark. Documents not tied directly to either family mentioned above include two letters from the selectmen of Norwich about support of poor people, 1817, a list of polls abated in 1835, an account with Harris Chapman, 1837, a drawing of house lots, presumably in Chatham, and a statement about access to water from Pocotopaug Pond.
