History of THE BROADWELL FAMILY of Clinton County, New York From (1664-1962)
By Andrew S. Broadwell (deceased)
"In 16-, William Parrot lived where Ezra Willcockse now does and owned 200 acres of land extending from the Passaic River to the Stony Hill Road. He married the widow of Daniel Clark and had several children. One of these children was Joseph, father of Adoniram Parrot, who came to Clinton County in 1803-04"
If the above is correct, it would mean that the Adorinam and William (son of Samuel) of NJ families are one and the same, and that Joseph is another son of William and Abigail Shipman Clark. This scenario is supported-- but not proven-- by DNA results. There is no documentation that supports the relationship as described by Broadwell. Additional information is needed to determine Joseph's parents.
Joseph married someone.

Parrott Family History, Robert I. Parrott
The first Parrott of our family of which we have any record was Adoniran. According to information handed down from father to son through the generations, in 1776 Adoniram Parrott was a rebel against England. He was in the battle of Bunker Hill, and later joined under Captain Pete Dickentson of the 5th Regiment of the Jersey Line, commonly called the Jersey Greys, and fought in the Battle of Brandywine as well as many other engagements. He and his company were in General Washington's army encamped at Valley Forge. He served for seven years, eight months, was a Corporal for the last two of three years, and was at the taking of Cornwallis at Yorktown.
Later he married and raised a family. His son, Joseph, was born in Passaic, new Jersey in 1803. In 1804, he, with his wife and family, moved and settled near Plattsburg, New York on a a claim granted to him by the U.S. Government on account of his services during the Revolutionary War. Later, a small town by the name of Beekmantown sprang up near their place.
In the second war with England, 1812-1814, two of the boys, William and Richard, were enganged in the war. They were wouded, taken prisoner, and paroled. In 1814, when Provost with 14,000 Wellington veterans came to Plattesburg, the two boys broke parole, and along with their father, turned out helped drive the Red Coats out of New York.
In the latter part of the 1820's, Joseph and his brother, William, went to Canada. William came back to Plattesburg and soon went to the Mexican War and we heard from him no more. We have no information on the whereabouts of Richard, or what became of him. There were four daughters. Sally married John Hood of Plattsburg; Elizabeth married John Mallory of Plattsburg, Phebe married a Storrs of Beekmantown; and Susannah married a Broadwell of Plattsburg.

THE BROADWELL FAMILY
of Clinton County, New York From (1664-1962)

and had several children. One of these children was Joseph, father of Adoniram Parrot, who came to Clinton County in 1803-04"

====================================
Posted on Find a Grave- verbatim copy:
Mr. and Mrs. Adoniram Parrot emigrated to northern NY, along with other families, during the winter of 1803-1804 via ox-sled. Adoniram Parrot owned and operated a farm on the Military Turnpike, Plattsburgh. He purchased the farm from Thomas Treadwell, who had been a member of the Continental Congress.
Parrot also participated in the War of 1812. He was a member of Col. Tom Miller's regiment, among other activities. According to a published interview with one of his grandsons, Parrot loved to hear the song, "The Noble Lads of Canada," a War of 1812 song that poked fun at the British. Adoniram Parrot died in 1842 at the age of 84.
Battles in which Adoniram Parrit (Parrot) b. 1758 d. 1842 acted and his locations during the Revolutionary War, 1776-1783 follow. The veteran is buried at the Hunter lot at the Riverside Cemetery, Plattsburgh, New York.
Parrot's ENLISTMENT occurred on February 24, 1776. He signed up under Captain Peter Dickinson. His pay as a private was $6 2/3 dollars per month. He was at Fort Tyconderoga, New York through November 23, 1776. Moving on from there, he was then at Mount Independence (Vermont) for garrison duty through February 24, 1777.
He was at the Battle of the Brandywine -British General Howe brought his troops to the Chesapeake Bay during August of 1777. This megaforce wasn't all that far from Philadelphia, the capital of the Colonies. The British had about 15,000 troops. The Americans had about 11,000. Adoniram was one of these troops. Washington chose a place between Chester, Pennsylvania and Philadelphia'96 on the banks of the Brandywine Creek for positioning. The confrontation between the armies occurred in September. Casualties amounted to about 1,000 for the Americans, about 600 for the British. The Americans' loss at Brandywine enabled entrance for the British into Philadelphia. The British would occupy Philadelphia'96 a big, important city of 40,000. At Brandywine, Parrot was under the command of Captain Peter Dickinson. This group was known as the Jersey Greys. Shortly afterward Dickenson resigned and Parrot was then under the command of Captain Jeremiah Ballard. Col. Elias Dayton was in charge of the 3rd New Jersey Regiment. This regiment contained the Ballard and Dickinson companies. The Third Regiment and Second Regiments consolidated and were known as the "Jersey Blues." Their name emerging from the blue uniform with red facing that some wore.
After Brandywine, Parrot participated in the Battle of Germantown. Germantown was a small town. Under the direction of Gen. George Washington, a decision was made to approach the town at night. Generals Wayne and Sullivan were also present for the battle. Germantown is now a part of Philadelphia. The casualties on the British side amounted to over 500 killed and wounded. The Americans had over 1,000 killed, wounded, or captured. Although it was considered a British victory'96 it was a PR victory for the Americans'96 the Americans' showing great resilience in the confrontation. Wayne and Sullivan's pounding of the British almost resulted in their withdrawal from the confrontation. About 9,000, British and American, were in this battle. The Battle of Germantown began in the early morning hours of October 4, 1777.
On October 22, 1777, the Battle of Monmouth was staged. Parrot was fighting in his home state of New Jersey...not too far from the Atlantic Ocean at Red Bank, New Jersey. Hessians were scraping against a Rhode Island regiment, led by Colonel Christopher Greene'97 this regiment was defending Fort Mercer at Red Bank, right on the New Jersey shore. The British and Hessians had experienced loss at the Battles of Saratoga. Parrot must have been adept at preparing a campsite and also pulling up stakes expediently when needed in light of his success during the Revolutionary War.
After surviving the Battles of Saratoga'96 the British were vulnerable. Monmouth would also dictate who was strong and who wasn't.
Adoniram Parrot was at Valley Forge as a part of Gen. George Washington's winter encampment. Parrot was there until June of 1778. During his stay at Valley Forge, Parrot made shoes, among other activities. He was sick for a period during the encampment.
Parrot went to western New York on the Indian campaign led by Gen. John Sullivan.
Parrot, as part of Col. Elias Dayton's 2nd New Jersey Regiment was at the Battle of Little York in October 1781, later known as the Battle of Yorktown. He was there for the surrender of Lord Cornwallis, the battle that brought about the end of the Revolutionary War.
Parrot was discharged near Newburgh, New York in 1783, having served 7 years and 8 months in the Revolutionary War, an extraordinary accomplishment.
Parrot became corporal on February 1st, 1780. As a matter of historical record, my 4th generation great grandfather was at the following locations, and in the following battles and engagements with the Continental Army:

Joseph returned from Canada and worked on the Eirie Canal for some time. then came back to Beekmantown and took care of his aging father for awhile unitl he could get the old father settled, his debts taken care of, and receiving a small government pension for his support. Then in 1839 he went to Frankfort, Kentucky. Soon he went from there to Andrew County, Missouri, met and married Nancy Kindred. There, Joseph, Jr., my father was born on January 18th, 1844.
The Kindreds were in Albemarle County, Virginia, in 1776. the grandfather Kindred followed Daniel Boone to Kentucky. Some of the Kindreds are in the mountain districts of Kentucky and Tennessee. David Kindred moved to Indiana, then to Iowa, and from there to Missouri. His family consisted of his wife, two daughters, Dollis and Nancy, and two sons, John and Bartholomew. In their travels, Mike T. Simmons met and married Dollie, and in Missouri, Joseph Parrott Sr. married Nancy. My father, Joseph Parrott Jr., was born on January 18, 1944. Bartholomew Kindred was also married and had a wife and some family.
On the first day of May 1844, the Kindred family, including the Parrott and Simons, joined a caravan of Pioneers and left Independence, Missouri, and headed across the Plains and Mountains, with Oregon City, Oregon, as their destination.
Along with this caravan was a free negro and his family by the name of Bush. He was a big husky man, and very helpful and friendly, and very much liked by all members of the caravan, very few of whom he had not done some favor.
The caravan moved quite slowly and had lots of troubles and dealys. One time they came to a stream and made camp. During the night a storm came up and made the stream a raging torrent. They were two weeks before they could cross, all because they did not cross the stream before making camp.
When they got to the Blue Mountains it was getting late in the fall. The teams were were all badly jaded so they had quite a struggle getting over the mountains through an early snow, and they finally made it to The Dallas. Through all this Joseph Parrott, Jr., was just a babe in arms.
At the Dallas, the wagons were embarked on Hudson Bay Company batteaus to Cascade, where they expected to get steamers to take them to Oregon City. There most of them waited three weeks for a steamer. Food was scarce and a lot them were hungry. Part of the emigrants drove the stock over some Indian trails that went South of Mt. Hood and to the Willamette Valley. They too, were short of food so when they camped for the night on a small stream, and a stray dog came into camp, they killed and ate the dog, so named the stream Dog River. It is to this day the known as the Dog River branch of the Hood River.
Joseph Parrott Sr., being tired of the delay waiting for a boat at Cascade, made a project of his own. He took off his wagon box (prarie schooner), calked it water tight and used it for a boat to come on down the river towing his wagon behind. The going soon got rough and he had to cut the wagon loose to keep it from swamping the boat. He stopped at the Indian camp where he expected to spend the night and asked an Indian boy to bring him some fire and he gave the boy some powder for doing same. Then came some older Indians, all hungry and begging for something to eat. One Indian refused the piece of meat offered and went to rumaging through things. To put a stop to that, Joseph picked up his gun and pointed it at the Indian. Suddenly, all the Indians but one jumped him, took away his gun, and made him pay pretty dear to get it back. Then the Indians left, all but one, which Joseph figured saved his life by motioning for him to leave or the others would come back and kill him by cutting his throat. So they pulle dout and made camp on an island that night without any fire.
They all managed to reach Oregon City on the 23rd day of December, 1844, a crestfallen, discouraged, forlorn, group of mortals, barely clothed in rags and moccasins, with no money nor provisions, and winter coming on. It is hard to tell what might have become of them or been their fate but for the generousity of Dr. John McLoughlin who as factor at the Vancouver Hudson Bay Company's well-stocked store. He freely supplied theim wants on credit, even though this act worked to his detriment later.
Joseph Parrott, Sr. soon took up a claim about six miles south of Oregon City, near the East bank of the Willamette River where a small creek comes in. This creek is named Parrott Creek after him, and a small little town on the highway where it crosses the creek is called New Era.
At this time things were getting pretty hot over slavery as it was just few years before the Civil War. So, when they had formed a government in Oregon, it was decided that no negroes would be allowed in the Willamette Valley. So, what was to become of that free negro, Bush, and his family? David Kindred was a Southerner and hot headed, but with a fine sense of justice. He told those people in power there that his negro, Bush, is just as good as any of you, and a damn-sight better than most, and if he is not allowed to settle there, "I'll be damned if I do either." So he gathered up as many of the eigrants as he could, and moved to Washington Territory.
He and wife; his daughter, Dollie and husband, Mike T. Simmons; his son, John; the Bush family, and many others were with him and crossed over into what later became Washington Territory and settled near what later became Olympia, the State Capitol. David Kindred took his claim at Tumwater in 1845. His son, John, and his son-in-law, Mike T. Simmons, also located at Tumwater and, as partners, built a flour mill, the first in Washington, at the falls, using the water for power.
Joseph Parrott, Sr., having already taken a claim, did not go with them. The other son, Bartholomew Kindred, went down river and finally located on Tansy Point, south of the Columbia River mouth, where the town of Hammond is now located. Some of his offspring were Pioneers on the Coast, west of Raymond, Washington, and a couple of winters ago I read of a David Kindred having his house badly damaged in a mudslide in Astoria, Oregon. Perhaps a nameske of the David Kindred who crossed the Plains in 1844.
Joseph Parrott, Sr. and wife, Nancy, are both buried in the old Pioneer Cemetery in the west part of Canby, Oregon.
Joseph married Sarah Washburn, daughter of John Washburn and Jemima Horton. Sarah was born on 10 Jul 1807 in New York and died on 4 May 1894 in Harkness, Clinton Co., New York at age 86.

Joseph Parrott, Jr. and Mary Davis Jesse of Barlow, Oregon, were married March 31, 1878. They lived on the old claim until 1884 when they sold out and moved to Goldendale, Washington. After a few years they moved again and took up a homestead on the East side of the Klickitat River in Yakima County, about several miles northeast of Glenwood. This was 1890. The family eventually consisted of nine children, five girls and four boys.
On the old homestead the family raised beef cattle, milk cows, hogs, and chickens. At one time they had a bunch of goats and about twenty swarms of bees. Made butter and cheese to sell to the stores in Glenwood and to saw mills in Cedar Valley. Had a honey extractor to get the honey out of the comb which was in great demand at the stores to sell to sheep men many of whom were in the country at that time.
There was always a big job to do in the fall at butchering time. Would kill a beef and several hogs. Make hams and bacon to smoke, and sausage to stuff in casings. Used quaking asp wood to smoke sausage, bacon, and hams. Always a year's supply.
Had a lot of land cleared on the old place, much of which has gone back to timber, brush, and swamp by now. Had irrigation water from Bear Creek for a large field up on the ridge, and down on the flat and meadows used water from Dear Creek which runs through the place.
By 1906 the girls were all grown up and gone from home, and tehn Joseph, Mary, and the three boys, Rober, Heston and Orvin, left the homestead and moved to Glenwood. There Mary ran the Hotel Glenwood which they had bought from the J.O. Shaws. Joseph became postmaster and kept the office in the lobby of the hotel. They also had a feed barn back of the hotel, and Robert was kept real busy taking care of traveling men's horses and milking cows to furnish milk for use in the hotel.
In 1910 Joseph and Mary agreed to disagree and were divorce. Mother kept the hotel, and Joseph built a house up the street at the present site of the tavern and moved the Post Office there where he kept it for a couple of years. Then he bought a house in Seaside, Oregon and moved there where he lived until 1920. He sold his home there and spent the last two years of his life as caretaker of the Spiritualist Camp Grounds at New Era, Oregon, a part of his father's old claim, where he spent his last days among the scenes of his boyhood along with such old friends and acquaintances as were left of those early Pioneers of Oregon.
Joseph was among the early settlers of Klickitat County, Washington and was a pioneer of the Glenwood vicinity as well as of Oregon.

Mary Parrott ran the hotel for a couple of years after their separation, and sold it to Henry and Anna Hansen. In the deal she got the Hansen home next door where she lived until 1918 at which time she sold it to Art Yerkes and his wife and bought a house on East 49th Street and 34th Avenue in Portlan, Oregon. At this time Robert was away in the service during World War One.
Orvin was in Portland at that time. Had a job with the U.S. Postal Service which he kept until he retired, so he lived with his mother, Mary. As is natural, he met and married his wife, Hazel, and brought her home to live. Then, after a time, Mother, Mary, sold her Portland home to Orvin and Hazel and came back to Glenwood. She bought a home there from Matt and Annie Gilmore, across the street from the garage and service station then owned by her son, Robert. There she made her home until her death. She was always very active in local projects such as P.T.A., Ladie's Aid, raising funds to buy a church bell, etc. She had heart trouble for a long time but could not be persuaded to take it easy. She was keeping house and boarding two school teachers at the time of her death.

Many Incidents of Early Life on Old Homestead Stand out Vividly in Memory -- Here are a Few
by Robert I Parrott, 4 Jun 1973
For a good many years most of the family, in order to make a lttle money, would go hop picking in the fall over to Parker Botton which is just down river from Union Gap in the Yakima Valley. They would always bring home with them considerable fruit for winter use, and a five gallon can or two of sorghum, a rather unrefined syrup that was made in those part, and what we kids thought went mighty fine with hotcakes.
I, Robert, being the oldest boy, was always left at home to bring in the cows and do the milking. Also Stella, next older than Bob, had to stay home to help with the milking and keep house. The same deal held good when the family would pack up and go to Hell Roaring Canyon where mother and some of older girls wuld pick huckleberries while dad would go hunting for deer, bear, or both. Heston, being the youngest, would be taken along. No trips to pick berries were made after Orvin was born.

Orvin was in Portland at that time. Had a job with the U.S. Postal Service which he kept until he retired, so he lived with his mother, Mary. As is natural, he met and married his wife, Hazel, and brought her home to live. Then, after a time, Mother, Mary, sold her Portland home to Orvin and Hazel and came back to Glenwood. She bought a home there from Matt and Annie Gilmore, across the street from the garage and service station then owned by her son, Robert. There she made her home until her death. She was always very active in local projects such as P.T.A., Ladie's Aid, raising funds to buy a church bell, etc. She had heart trouble for a long time but could not be persuaded to take it easy. She was keeping house and boarding two school teachers at the time of her death.
