Anderson's Great Migration Study Project.
Windsor was the first permanent English settlement in Connecticut. Local Indians granted Plymouth settlers land at the confluence of the Farmington River and the west side of the Connecticut River, and Plymouth settlers (including Jonathan Brewster, son of William) built a trading post in 1633. But the bulk of the settlement came in 1635, when 60 or more people led by Reverend Warham arrived, having trekked overland from Dorchester, Massachusetts. Most had arrived in the New World five years earlier on the ship "Mary and John" from Plymouth, England. The settlement was first called Dorchester, and was renamed Windsor in 1637.See: Stiles History of Ancient Windsor - Thistlewaite's Dorset Pilgrims - Wikipedia entry

ELIAS PARKMAN
ORIGIN: Unknown
MIGRATION: 1633
FIRST RESIDENCE: Dorchester
REMOVES: Windsor 1638, Saybrook by 1646, Boston by 1648
OCCUPATION: Mariner. (About October of 1638 Richard Saltonstall Jr. wrote to John Winthrop about debts owed to Saltonstall and his partners by Elias Parkman, who had been master of a vessel which they owned on several voyages between Massachusetts Bay and the Connecticut River. On 4 June 1650 Thomas Turner of Hingham discharged Elias Parkman of Boston of all debts and obligations, and stated that the said Elias had made all payments for three-quarters of the bark Supply before Turner had assigned a covenant for the same to Joseph Armitage. On 23 May 1655 the court awarded damages to Elias Parkman from Daniel Gookin who failed to pay him properly for transporting five persons and a large amount of bread to Virginia.
CHURCH MEMBERSHIP: Admission to Dorchester church prior to 6 May 1635 implied by freemanship. (Parkman maintained membership in this church upon the remove to Windsor, and when he appeared in Boston in 1648 he was said to be of the Windsor church. When he is called "our brother" in the baptism of son Deliverance, this could still refer to membership in Windsor church, and we need not assume that he was admitted to membership in Boston church.)FREEMAN: 6 May 1635 (last in a sequence of six Dorchester men).
EDUCATION: He signed his name to deeds.ESTATE: Granted four acres at Naponset Neck in Dorchester, 5 August 1633]; received Lot #84, four acres, in the meadow beyond Naponset; granted Great Lot at Squantum Neck, 18 January 1635/6; granted "the marsh before his door," 27 July 1636; granted a share in "ground about Rocky Hill".In the Windsor land inventory on 5 February 1640[/1] "Elias Parkeman" had seven parcels: "a homelot with the additions, fifteen acres"; "in the little meadow with swamp adjoining eight acres"; "in the second meadow five acres and half"; "over the Great River in breadth twenty-five rods, in length three miles"; "on the south of the rivulet, sixteen acres"; "in the pallisado half an acre"; and "in the great meadow for a garden plot in breadth four rod, in length six rod".On 28 May 1646 "Elias Parkeman of Seabrooke lately inhabitant of Winsor" mortgaged eleven acres of land and a barn, and a parcel of land on the east side of the great river, to William Wadsworth of Hartford.On 2 August 1652 "Elias Parkeman" mortgaged to "Mr. Robert Peteshall" one house with the land belonging to it, now "in the tenure of Thomas Tyler of Boston" . On 3 August 1652 "Elias Parkman of Boston, mariner & master of the good pinace called the Supplye of Boston" sold to Mr. John Holland of Dorchester "my now dwelling house situated in Boston, together with my home lot, being in measure one acre".On 7 August 1657 George Palmer of Boston, wine cooper, sold to Elias Parkman of Boston, mariner, a parcel of land in Boston together with the "house, shop & cellar thereon" formerly in the occupation of Hermon Garret, gunsmith, also a garden plot and a way into the garden, and use of the well. This plot was given to Deliverance and Nathaniel Parkman after their father's death by Silvester Eveleth and his wife Bridget, the widow of Elias Parkman, 24 November 1674.On 20 August 1662 administration on the estate of Elias Parkman was granted at the request of Bridget Parkman, "relict of Ellias Parkeman of Boston, Senior," and her eldest son, to Thomas Rawlings in behalf of the children and creditors "allowing the widow her thirds in house & lands & the flock bed, rug, to the value of £2".The inventory of the estate of "Elias Parkman supposed to be deceased" was taken 20 July 1662 and totalled £34 5s., including £19 10s. in real estate: "the dwelling house being very much decayed and ready to fall," £12; "corner of ground in the orchard," £7; and "a piece of ground without the house," £2 10s. Also in his inventory were "three old swords almost spoiled with rust, 3s."
BIRTH: By about 1611 based on estimated date of marriage.
DEATH: When his inventory was taken on 20 July 1662, Elias Parkman was "supposed to be deceased," suggesting that he had not returned from a sea voyage, and had probably died some time before that date.
MARRIAGE: By about 1636 Bridget _____ (she is first seen as his wife at the baptism of son Deliverance in 1651, but there is no evidence for an earlier wife). She married (2) Gloucester 6 September 1672 Sylvester Eveleth as his second wife and died after 5 February 1682.
CHILDREN:
i ELIAS, b. say 1636 (called Deliverance his brother); m. Salem 13 October 1656 Sarah Trask, daughter of WILLIAM TRASK.
ii SAMUEL, b. say 1638; a private record says that he went to Virginia; no further record.
iii REBECCA, b. say 1640; m. Boston 18 September 1661 John Jarvis (she described as "daughter of Elias Parkman of Boston").
iv ABIGAIL, b. say 1642; m. Salem 19 February 1662[/3] John Trask, son of WILLIAM TRASK.
v GEORGE, b. say 1644; d. Windsor 1645.
vi MARY, bp. Boston 24 September 1648 ("the daughter of Eliah Parkman a member of the Church at Winsor being about 4 days old"); no further record.
vii DELIVERANCE, b. Boston 3 August 1651, "of Elias and Bridget Parkman"; bp. Boston 10 August 1651; m. (1) Salem 9 December 1673 Sarah Veren; m. (2) after 14 January 1681/2 Mehitable Waite, daughter of John Waite; m. (3) Marblehead 3 June 1683 Margaret Gardner; m. (4) after 25 March 1689 Susanna (Clark) Gedney.
viii NATHANIEL, b. Boston 24 June 1655; bp. Boston 8 July 1655; m. Boston by 1686 Hannah Hett (eldest known child b. Boston 30 March 1686), daughter of Eliphalet Hett.
COMMENTS: A private record of the Parkman family was published in 1901 as a footnote to a genealogy of WILLIAM TRASK; it was "furnished by Mrs. Lucy P. Trowbridge of New Haven, Connecticut, from a genealogical statement left by her father, Samuel Breck Parkman of Savannah, Georgia, who was lost, with most of his family, on board the steamer Pulaski in 1838." This record reflects a number of exact dates that are not to be found anywhere else (including a precise date and place for the birth of Elias Parkman, son of the immigrant), and claims that the immigrant was son of Thomas Parkman of Sidmouth, England.In 1932 Arthur Winfred Hodgman published an article which claimed that the wife of the immigrant was "Bridget Connaught (or Conner?)," but no evidence is supplied and no credence should be given to this identification without further information; this article also discusses a number of manuscript sources which have useful information on the early generations of the Parkman family (beyond the first generation or two).The passenger list of the Recovery of London, sailing from Weymouth for New England on 31 March 1634, includes "Elizabeth Parkman". Although this record need not have anything to do with Elias Parkman and his family, it could conceivably be an error for Elias himself returning from one of his voyages to England.In his list of those "being gone yet had children born here" Matthew Grant credited "Elias Partman" with having two children born in Windsor. If one of these was the son George who died in 1645, then the second was probably his next-elder sibling Abigail. Daughter Rebecca may also have been born in Windsor, if Grant's accounting at a much later date includes only surviving children.Winthrop, under date of 3 July 1637, reports an incident in which "Rich. Serle, servant to Elias Parkman of Dorchester," assaulted his master in the presence of Thomas Millet, and was sentenced to be whipped.Richard Saltonstall Jr. wrote an agitated letter to John Winthrop about October 1638 saying that Elias Parkman, master of a vessel that was presently in the Bay, but planning to return to Connecticut shortly, owed him a considerable sum of moneney and had owed it for some time, but that "we cannot receive a penny of him nor a note of his hand that it is due to us upon demand, unless we be contented to take it at Connecticut when he hath sold his house." He asked that Winthrop delay him so that he had to answer to the claim.Two servants of "Elias Parkmore" were whipped at New Haven, 1 July 1640 . A dispute between some inhabitants of Guilford and "Elias Parkman of Windsor" was noted by the New Haven Colony Court on 7 April 1646, but no further action was taken. (Savage interprets these records to mean that Parkman "probably had an establish~ment for trade at New Haven [in] 1640," but not that he was a resident of New Haven).Elias Parkman was involved as both plaintiff and defendant in civil suits before the Particular Court of Connecticut in 1648 and 1657.In June 1639 Thomas Moulton of Charlestown, fisherman, aged thirty years, deposed that Margery Batman, servant to Henry Lawrence of Charlestown, fisherman, was removed from Lawrence's house by her father, "one Batman dwelling by the river of Saco" and since placed "with one Elias Parke since dwelling at Kenecticot". (As there is no record for an Elias Parke in Connecticut, or anywhere in New England, at this early date, this record very likely pertains to Elias Parkman.)”

Unlike Elias Parkman, William Phelps was on the Mary & John with From William's Find a Grave:
https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/124678292/william-phelps
Journey to America - Life in Dorchester, MA and Windsor, CT:William Phelps and his second wife Anne and four children William, Samuel, Nathaniel, and Joseph boarded the ship Mary and John, owned by Roger Ludlow who was one of the assistants of the Massachusetts Bay Company, on March 20, 1630. They and other families, about 140 emigrants in all, were all recruited by the Rev. John White of Dorchester, Dorset Co., England. They were from the "West Country" of England consisting of three counties Somerset, Dorset and Devon. Many came from the towns of Dorchester, and Bridport, Dorset, Crewkerene and Taunton, Somerset or Exeter, Devon. They were all part of the church led by the Rev. John Warham. Under the command of Capt. Squeb (or Squibb), they sailed from Plymouth, Devon Co., England. It arrived at Nantasket, near present-day Hull, Massachusetts on May 30, 1630 without casualty. Soon, other ships arrived. This was a part of the Great Migration. They settled at Columbia Point, which the native Americans called "Mattaponnock". They renamed it Dorchester in 1630 in honor of Rev. White who organized the Dorchester Company. Today, Dorchester later became part of South Boston. It was annexed by the city of Boston in 1970.(From the Mary and John Clearing House, other historical accounts.) [NOTE: Mary and John in 1630 was not part of the Winthrop Fleet that came two weeks later after it arrived at the American shores. Mary and John brought emigrants from England to Massachusetts two more times, in 1633 and again in 1634. In 1635 William moved his family to what is now Windsor, Hartford Co., Connecticut. It was formerly named Dorchester, but they renamed it to Windsor in 1637 under court order presided by William. He and many other men who founded Dorchester were also founders and first settlers of Windsor. In other words, Mr. Warham's church moved to Windsor. They played various important roles in the community. These founding fathers' names are engraved on the Founder's Monument on the Palisado Green, near Strong's House (formerly known as Flier's House), where Windsor Historical Society is situated today.
Married by about 1636 Bridget _____ (she is first seen as his wife at the baptism of son Deliverance in 1651, but there is no evidence for an earlier wife). She married (2) Gloucester 6 September 1672 Sylvester Eveleth as his second wife and died after 5 February 1682.

DEATH: When his inventory was taken on 20 July 1662, Elias Parkman was "supposed to be deceased," suggesting that he had not returned from a sea voyage, and had probably died some time before that date.
MARRIAGE: By about 1636 Bridget _____ (she is first seen as his wife at the baptism of son Deliverance in 1651, but there is no evidence for an earlier wife). She married (2) Gloucester 6 September 1672 Sylvester Eveleth as his second wife and died after 5 February 1682.
CHILDREN:
i ELIAS, b. say 1636 (called Deliverance his brother); m. Salem 13 October 1656 Sarah Trask, daughter of WILLIAM TRASK.
ii SAMUEL, b. say 1638; a private record says that he went to Virginia; no further record.
iii REBECCA, b. say 1640; m. Boston 18 September 1661 John Jarvis (she described as "daughter of Elias Parkman of Boston").
iv ABIGAIL, b. say 1642; m. Salem 19 February 1662[/3] John Trask, son of WILLIAM TRASK.
v GEORGE, b. say 1644; d. Windsor 1645.
vi MARY, bp. Boston 24 September 1648 ("the daughter of Eliah Parkman a member of the Church at Winsor being about 4 days old"); no further record.
vii DELIVERANCE, b. Boston 3 August 1651, "of Elias and Bridget Parkman"; bp. Boston 10 August 1651; m. (1) Salem 9 December 1673 Sarah Veren; m. (2) after 14 January 1681/2 Mehitable Waite, daughter of John Waite; m. (3) Marblehead 3 June 1683 Margaret Gardner; m. (4) after 25 March 1689 Susanna (Clark) Gedney.
viii NATHANIEL, b. Boston 24 June 1655; bp. Boston 8 July 1655; m. Boston by 1686 Hannah Hett (eldest known child b. Boston 30 March 1686), daughter of Eliphalet Hett.
COMMENTS: A private record of the Parkman family was published in 1901 as a footnote to a genealogy of WILLIAM TRASK; it was "furnished by Mrs. Lucy P. Trowbridge of New Haven, Connecticut, from a genealogical statement left by her father, Samuel Breck Parkman of Savannah, Georgia, who was lost, with most of his family, on board the steamer Pulaski in 1838." This record reflects a number of exact dates that are not to be found anywhere else (including a precise date and place for the birth of Elias Parkman, son of the immigrant), and claims that the immigrant was son of Thomas Parkman of Sidmouth, England.In 1932 Arthur Winfred Hodgman published an article which claimed that the wife of the immigrant was "Bridget Connaught (or Conner?)," but no evidence is supplied and no credence should be given to this identification without further information; this article also discusses a number of manuscript sources which have useful information on the early generations of the Parkman family (beyond the first generation or two).The passenger list of the Recovery of London, sailing from Weymouth for New England on 31 March 1634, includes "Elizabeth Parkman". Although this record need not have anything to do with Elias Parkman and his family, it could conceivably be an error for Elias himself returning from one of his voyages to England.In his list of those "being gone yet had children born here" Matthew Grant credited "Elias Partman" with having two children born in Windsor. If one of these was the son George who died in 1645, then the second was probably his next-elder sibling Abigail. Daughter Rebecca may also have been born in Windsor, if Grant's accounting at a much later date includes only surviving children.Winthrop, under date of 3 July 1637, reports an incident in which "Rich. Serle, servant to Elias Parkman of Dorchester," assaulted his master in the presence of Thomas Millet, and was sentenced to be whipped.Richard Saltonstall Jr. wrote an agitated letter to John Winthrop about October 1638 saying that Elias Parkman, master of a vessel that was presently in the Bay, but planning to return to Connecticut shortly, owed him a considerable sum of moneney and had owed it for some time, but that "we cannot receive a penny of him nor a note of his hand that it is due to us upon demand, unless we be contented to take it at Connecticut when he hath sold his house." He asked that Winthrop delay him so that he had to answer to the claim.Two servants of "Elias Parkmore" were whipped at New Haven, 1 July 1640 . A dispute between some inhabitants of Guilford and "Elias Parkman of Windsor" was noted by the New Haven Colony Court on 7 April 1646, but no further action was taken. (Savage interprets these records to mean that Parkman "probably had an establish~ment for trade at New Haven [in] 1640," but not that he was a resident of New Haven).Elias Parkman was involved as both plaintiff and defendant in civil suits before the Particular Court of Connecticut in 1648 and 1657.In June 1639 Thomas Moulton of Charlestown, fisherman, aged thirty years, deposed that Margery Batman, servant to Henry Lawrence of Charlestown, fisherman, was removed from Lawrence's house by her father, "one Batman dwelling by the river of Saco" and since placed "with one Elias Parke since dwelling at Kenecticot". (As there is no record for an Elias Parke in Connecticut, or anywhere in New England, at this early date, this record very likely pertains to Elias Parkman.)”

Unlike Elias Parkman, William Phelps was on the Mary & John with From William's Find a Grave:

Journey to America - Life in Dorchester, MA and Windsor, CT:William Phelps and his second wife Anne and four children William, Samuel, Nathaniel, and Joseph boarded the ship Mary and John, owned by Roger Ludlow who was one of the assistants of the Massachusetts Bay Company, on March 20, 1630. They and other families, about 140 emigrants in all, were all recruited by the Rev. John White of Dorchester, Dorset Co., England. They were from the "West Country" of England consisting of three counties Somerset, Dorset and Devon. Many came from the towns of Dorchester, and Bridport, Dorset, Crewkerene and Taunton, Somerset or Exeter, Devon. They were all part of the church led by the Rev. John Warham. Under the command of Capt. Squeb (or Squibb), they sailed from Plymouth, Devon Co., England. It arrived at Nantasket, near present-day Hull, Massachusetts on May 30, 1630 without casualty. Soon, other ships arrived. This was a part of the Great Migration. They settled at Columbia Point, which the native Americans called "Mattaponnock". They renamed it Dorchester in 1630 in honor of Rev. White who organized the Dorchester Company. Today, Dorchester later became part of South Boston. It was annexed by the city of Boston in 1970.(From the Mary and John Clearing House, other historical accounts.) [NOTE: Mary and John in 1630 was not part of the Winthrop Fleet that came two weeks later after it arrived at the American shores. Mary and John brought emigrants from England to Massachusetts two more times, in 1633 and again in 1634. In 1635 William moved his family to what is now Windsor, Hartford Co., Connecticut. It was formerly named Dorchester, but they renamed it to Windsor in 1637 under court order presided by William. He and many other men who founded Dorchester were also founders and first settlers of Windsor. In other words, Mr. Warham's church moved to Windsor. They played various important roles in the community. These founding fathers' names are engraved on the Founder's Monument on the Palisado Green, near Strong's House (formerly known as Flier's House), where Windsor Historical Society is situated today.
Married by about 1636 Bridget _____ (she is first seen as his wife at the baptism of son Deliverance in 1651, but there is no evidence for an earlier wife). She married (2) Gloucester 6 September 1672 Sylvester Eveleth as his second wife and died after 5 February 1682.
Anderson's Great Migration Study Project.
Windsor was the first permanent English settlement in Connecticut. Local Indians granted Plymouth settlers land at the confluence of the Farmington River and the west side of the Connecticut River, and Plymouth settlers (including Jonathan Brewster, son of William) built a trading post in 1633. But the bulk of the settlement came in 1635, when 60 or more people led by Reverend Warham arrived, having trekked overland from Dorchester, Massachusetts. Most had arrived in the New World five years earlier on the ship "Mary and John" from Plymouth, England. The settlement was first called Dorchester, and was renamed Windsor in 1637.See: Stiles History of Ancient Windsor - Thistlewaite's Dorset Pilgrims - Wikipedia entry

The following Bio from:

From NEHGS: The Great Migration Begins: Immigrants to New England:“
ELIAS PARKMAN
ORIGIN: Unknown
MIGRATION: 1633
FIRST RESIDENCE: Dorchester
REMOVES: Windsor 1638, Saybrook by 1646, Boston by 1648
OCCUPATION: Mariner. (About October of 1638 Richard Saltonstall Jr. wrote to John Winthrop about debts owed to Saltonstall and his partners by Elias Parkman, who had been master of a vessel which they owned on several voyages between Massachusetts Bay and the Connecticut River. On 4 June 1650 Thomas Turner of Hingham discharged Elias Parkman of Boston of all debts and obligations, and stated that the said Elias had made all payments for three-quarters of the bark Supply before Turner had assigned a covenant for the same to Joseph Armitage. On 23 May 1655 the court awarded damages to Elias Parkman from Daniel Gookin who failed to pay him properly for transporting five persons and a large amount of bread to Virginia.
CHURCH MEMBERSHIP: Admission to Dorchester church prior to 6 May 1635 implied by freemanship. (Parkman maintained membership in this church upon the remove to Windsor, and when he appeared in Boston in 1648 he was said to be of the Windsor church. When he is called "our brother" in the baptism of son Deliverance, this could still refer to membership in Windsor church, and we need not assume that he was admitted to membership in Boston church.)FREEMAN: 6 May 1635 (last in a sequence of six Dorchester men).
EDUCATION: He signed his name to deeds.ESTATE: Granted four acres at Naponset Neck in Dorchester, 5 August 1633]; received Lot #84, four acres, in the meadow beyond Naponset; granted Great Lot at Squantum Neck, 18 January 1635/6; granted "the marsh before his door," 27 July 1636; granted a share in "ground about Rocky Hill".In the Windsor land inventory on 5 February 1640[/1] "Elias Parkeman" had seven parcels: "a homelot with the additions, fifteen acres"; "in the little meadow with swamp adjoining eight acres"; "in the second meadow five acres and half"; "over the Great River in breadth twenty-five rods, in length three miles"; "on the south of the rivulet, sixteen acres"; "in the pallisado half an acre"; and "in the great meadow for a garden plot in breadth four rod, in length six rod".On 28 May 1646 "Elias Parkeman of Seabrooke lately inhabitant of Winsor" mortgaged eleven acres of land and a barn, and a parcel of land on the east side of the great river, to William Wadsworth of Hartford.On 2 August 1652 "Elias Parkeman" mortgaged to "Mr. Robert Peteshall" one house with the land belonging to it, now "in the tenure of Thomas Tyler of Boston" . On 3 August 1652 "Elias Parkman of Boston, mariner & master of the good pinace called the Supplye of Boston" sold to Mr. John Holland of Dorchester "my now dwelling house situated in Boston, together with my home lot, being in measure one acre".On 7 August 1657 George Palmer of Boston, wine cooper, sold to Elias Parkman of Boston, mariner, a parcel of land in Boston together with the "house, shop & cellar thereon" formerly in the occupation of Hermon Garret, gunsmith, also a garden plot and a way into the garden, and use of the well. This plot was given to Deliverance and Nathaniel Parkman after their father's death by Silvester Eveleth and his wife Bridget, the widow of Elias Parkman, 24 November 1674.On 20 August 1662 administration on the estate of Elias Parkman was granted at the request of Bridget Parkman, "relict of Ellias Parkeman of Boston, Senior," and her eldest son, to Thomas Rawlings in behalf of the children and creditors "allowing the widow her thirds in house & lands & the flock bed, rug, to the value of £2".The inventory of the estate of "Elias Parkman supposed to be deceased" was taken 20 July 1662 and totalled £34 5s., including £19 10s. in real estate: "the dwelling house being very much decayed and ready to fall," £12; "corner of ground in the orchard," £7; and "a piece of ground without the house," £2 10s. Also in his inventory were "three old swords almost spoiled with rust, 3s."
BIRTH: By about 1611 based on estimated date of marriage.
DEATH: When his inventory was taken on 20 July 1662, Elias Parkman was "supposed to be deceased," suggesting that he had not returned from a sea voyage, and had probably died some time before that date.
