Nebraska's First State Regent in National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Appointed to form a State Chapter. National Number 5656
The National Society was founded by women who were either famous in their own right or able through their connections to influence others. In 1894 Charlotte Faulk Parmer and her older sister, Caroline Faulk Burleigh, were appointed by the National Society to form state societies in Nebraska and South Dakota, respectively. Mrs. Parmer͛s national number was 5656, and Mrs. Burleigh͛s national number was 4976, both early members of the National Society. Nebraska͛s first chapter was organized in 1896. For 11 years, South Dakota held the unique position of having state regents but no chapters of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Members in South Dakota were either members at large or members of chapters in other states. In 1895, Mrs. Parmer read the very first Nebraska State Regent Report at the Fourth Continental Congress. The Faulk sisters descended from Brigadier General Daniel Brodhead, who served in the Continental Army under George Washington during the American Revolution. In the years leading up to the outbreak of hostilities, he took part in protest movements against British taxation. He represented Bucks County at a provincial meeting held in Philadelphia on July 15, 1774. In 1776, he was a Lieutenant Colonel Commandant of Col. Samuel Miles͛ Pennsylvania Rifle Regiment at the Battle of Long Island. Brodhead took over command of the 8th Pennsylvania Regiment after the death of its commander and was promoted to Colonel. He led his troops during the defense of Philadelphia in 1777 and wintered with the Continental Army at Valley Forge in 1777-79, where a plaque now honors him as commander. In 1778, he was placed in command of the Western Department, with headquarters at Fort Pitt, overseeing six different forts: Pitt, McIntosh, Laurens, Tuscarora, Henry, and Armstrong. Colonel Brodhead was a commander during campaigns against hostile Indians in the Great Lakes region with his most famous raid being against the Seneca Indians. On June 23, 1779, George Washington penned a letter to Colonel Brodhead andcongratulated him on his ability to court the good favor of the Indian tribes; he also gave strategic instructions for the militia under his command. Congress later passed a vote of thanks for his successful expeditions against the Indians. George Washington brevetted him a Brigadier General, after he was acquitted of a court martial for misappropriation of supply funds. He spent the remainder of the war as a commander of the 1st Pennsylvania Regiment. Brodhead͛s service to the Revolution spanned from 1776-1783. He was a founder of the Society of Cincinnati. The Faulk family was originally from Pennsylvania, and in 1861 they relocated to the Dakota Territory, where patriarch Andrew J. Faulk was appointed the Chief Clerk to the Yankton Agency. His wife was Charlotte McMath, and they had eight children, including Caroline and Charlotte.
2 Andrew J. Faulk was appointed by President Andrew Johnson as the Territorial Governor of the Dakota Territory. He served from 1866-69 in this capacity. His administration was primarily remembered for allowing the expansion of settlers into the Black Hills, which was protected from any development by treaty. Following his time in office, Faulk served as mayor of Yankton and continued to help the region towards statehood. Faulk County, South Dakota is named in his honor.
In 1867 Mark Parmer had established the first private bank and later the first national bank in the Dakota Territory. In 1868 Charlotte Faulk married Mark Parmer. The Parmers had four children and moved to Norfolk, Nebraska in 1879 where he was in the mercantile business. Around 1887, the family moved to Omaha where he was a city solicitor for the Guarantee Fund Life Association of Omaha and a director in the F.D. Parmer Coffee Company, located at 112 South Eleventh Street in downtown Omaha. ͞Parmer Co. Coffees Teas Happy Hollow Coffee, Est. 1907,͟ is still painted on the side of the building in Omaha today. Caroline Faulk Burleigh͛s husband was Dr. Walter Atwood Burleigh, an agent in service of the Civil War appointed by President Abraham Lincoln to the Sioux Indians at Greenwood, Dakota Territory. He also served as a U.S. Congressman. This was a tumultuous time with the Indians. Caroline Faulk Burleighwas a friend of Elizabeth Custer, the wife of General George Custer. After General Custer͛s death at the Battle of Little Big Horn in 1876, Elizabeth Custer lived with Caroline Faulk Burleigh.
Charlotte Faulk Parmer was born in Pennsylvania in 1849. She died October 3, 1917, and is buried in Forest Lawn Cemetery-Lot 265, Section 5, 7909 Mormon Bridge Road, Omaha, Nebraska.Nebraska Daughters marked her grave on the 100th Anniversary of her death.
