DAR Patriot for 2017!

Azariah Walker was just approved as a new patriot for me with DAR.  He's been a DAR patriot for quite a while but this, along with several recent applications by other members, helped to clean up his record and merge two individuals.  Azariah was born in Framingham, MA in 1722 died in 1798 in Needham, MA.  He served under Capt Moses Harrington and Col Dike.

He was married to Abigail Seaver and I descend through his oldest of five children, Mary.  Mary was married to Thomas Parmenter, my first supplemental ancestor and the son of my primary ancestor, William Parmenter. Azariah's granddaughter, Susannah Swift, was the was married to Isaiah Parmenter and the daughter of Asaph Swift (another patriot).  It is through this family line that my Mayflower connection comes.

Wheh!  That was complicated!  

So proud of my heritage and that I get to share it with my children and family.
