Her grandfather served in the Indian war, and for killing an Indian had to flee from his home at Kinderhook to the Shawangunk mountains, where he lived for some time, but was followed and killed. In 1801 she married Peter PARSELLS, by whom she had ten childre. Three of them are still living at the ages of 76, 74 and 61 years. She has thirteen grandchildren, thirty-eight great-grandchildren, and eleven great-great-grandchildren. She remembered
coming to New York at the age of 16, when the City Hall was being built. She crossed to Brooklyn in a rowboat, and could see but one house standing where the Fulton Ferry now is. She saw Fulton's steamboat, the Claremont, go up
the Hudson. Her father lived to be 100 years and 3 days old, and a brother reached the age of 98 years.
