1847 MARRIAGE: CT,New London-Norwich: Caroline L Gavitt md 5 April 1847, Timothy L. P. Hauselkuse, alias Parmelee
[The vital records of Norwich give the name of this man as Timothy L. P. Hosselkus; but his wife signs letter as Caroline L. Parmelee, and states that she was married, on the date given, to Timothy L. Parmelee. In the records of the Congregational Church of Chatham, Conn, p. 111, appears the following: "married by Rev. Joel West Jan 26, 1817 at Eat Hampton, Ct. John P. Hauselkuse and Dencey Parmelee (dau of Timothy and Hannah)." Evidently Timothy L. P. Hauselkuse was a son of this marriage, and dropped his father's name as unattractive, retaining as his surname his mother's maiden name. The name Hauselkuse is probably a Hessian name, borne by one of the Hessian mercenaries employed by the British in the Revolution.
