Annis (Bayford) Parmenter migrated to New England during the Puritan Great Migration (1621-1640). Join: Puritan Great Migration Project Discuss: pgm
[Note: Chandler Family text incorrectly speculates her as Alice/Annis Alcock, sister of George. Torrey incorrectly included this assumption in New England Marriages Prior to 1700. This has since been disproven, in sources within this bio, that correctly identify Annis/Agnes nee Bayford. See also: Agnes Alcock in: Anderson, R. C. Great Migration: Immigrants to New England, 1634-1635, Volume I, A-B, NEHGS, Boston, Massacusetts, 1999 p. 20 (Online database. AmericanAncestors.org.

Alcock-396 and Bayford-10 do not represent the same person because: Annis Alcock, sister of George Alcock did exist. She is not the same person as Annis Bayford Chandler Dane Parminter. All the husband's on Alcock's profile need removal.
Chandler-167 and Bayford-10 appear to represent the same person because: This profile as formally made a daughter of William and Annis Chandler, but they did not have a daughter Annis. From the name and death date it is clear this profile was actually meant to be the wife of William Chandler. Merging into Agnes/Annis Bayford to correct error.

There was evidently an accusation that John Dane and Agnes Annis Chandler were "too close" and had "done in" their respective spouses. See: Salem Witchcraft, pp. 224-225; Author: Torrey, Clarence Almon.
Alcock-396 and Bayford-10 do not represent the same person because: Annis Alcock was supposedly the sister of George Alcock, and not the same woman as Annis Bayford. She should be disconnected as the wife of William Chandler, John Dane and John Parmenter.
Bayford-14 and Bayford-10 appear to represent the same person because: name matches, birth dates and place match, parents match, marriages match, dates and place of death match This is certainly the same person, the goal of WikiTree is one profile per person.
