Eli Parsons (29 January 1748, Springfield – 26 or 30 September 1830, Oswego) He was the son of Aaron (1712-1795) and Mercy Atkinson (1713-1750) Parsons. He married Persis Graves on June 5, 1777.

Parsons was a leading contributor to Shays' Rebellion in the developing climate of revolutionary America. One of his main contributions to the rebellion was through his letters to other members of the anti-authoritarian movement, rallying them to the cause. One such letter was captured, in part leading to his arrest and prosecution as a criminal accused of conspiracy and other charges.[citation needed]
