- James PARRES was born Oct 9, 1855 in Denmark (Surname variations: PARES, PARRIS).
- A Brief History: When the Province of Manitoba was formed in 1870, waves of new settlers came in response to an opportunity to homestead the unbroken prairies. In the absence of roads, the accessible and fertile area near the Missouri Trail became a prime destination for the first homesteaders and for those who followed to provide services to the new communities. The Rural Municipality of Dufferin is thought to have been named for Lord Dufferin, Governor-General of Canada.
- At some time in the early 1870's James PARRES came to Canada and settled on a homestead in the RM of Dufferin, Manitoba.
- Around 1875 James married Henrietta (Letitia) SALTER, daughter of Mary Ann SMITH and Richard Turner SALTER (1819-1911). Daughter Mary Ann was born in 1876.
- On May 5, 1876 Henrietta of the Boyne Settlement claimed Scrip as the wife of James PARRIS.

9 Apr 2020 - My brother provided a phoyocopy (Chapter 6 - Jas Matthiesen page 49) of a book but the Title and Author are unknown.
"After arriving by ship in New York, Jas struckout for the West. He survived a serious train wreck near Milwaukee by hanging on to an iron railing inside a boxcar in which he waw riding and which was derailed.
While investigating gold prospecting oppertunities in North Dakota, Jas and three other Danes stopped at a makeshift bar for refreshments. They were treated to numerous rounds of drinks and in the morning woke up to the realization they had been "press-ganged" into George Armstrong Custer's Army. This was ironic in that they had LEFT Denmark to avoid military duty and wound up in the U. S. Army inadvertently.
It became rather obvious that the sale of repeating rifles "out of the back door" to the Inddians was a health risk. Eventually, the four "new soldiers" decided to escape and make a break for Canada, knowing that full well if they got caught they would be hung as deserters. Ond of them drowned fording a river but three of them managed to elude their pursuers and made it to Canada. Two of them settled near Carman, Manitoba, at Salterville, where they recognized the fertile soil to be very rich. These two would never acknowledge each other in passing on the street for fear that if one got caught, people would point and say "there's his friend."
Jas married Richard John Turner Salter's daughter, Henrietta. Mr. Salter, the local Justice of the Peace, strongly suggested that Jas change his surname on the wedding documents to avoid further detection. He thus became simply, James (Jas) Parres....."
James married Henrietta Salter in cir.1872 in Starbuck (or Starluck),Manitoba,Canada. Henrietta (daughter of Richard John Turner Salter and Maria Ann Smith) was born in 1853 in Starluck,Red River,Manitoba,Canada; was christened on 12 Jan 1854 in Red River,Manitoba,Canada; died on 9 Feb 1883 in Salterville(?)(later Carmen),Manitoba,Canada.

Notes:
Source: Parres Family Bible, "Pioneers of the West" by Edith Rogers pg.23,
letter from Maud McCulloch, letter from Glenna Davies dated April 22, 1985 - in
this letter it is shown that Marianne's father was William Robert Smith but I
have chosen to stay with Donald Robert Smith until more is known, letter from
Ken Fergusson dated June 1, 1988.
15 Nov 1994, information from Jim Parres, my cousin; Family Group Record from
Patricia J. Smith adds substantial information and verifies father to be
William not Donald. I think Donald is William's brother.
