He actually always listed his last name as Parmertor and I never searched the alternate spelling. he is listed in the 1880 census as Merritt Parmertor and I found him there OK His father and kids is listed in the 1850 census for the same area as Jonathan Parmenter but I can't find him listed after that. I did find several of Jonathan's kids listed in the 160 Franklin census listed as farm workers with other people. Thanks again Bob Parmerter
