This is another of the African-American families that appeared after the Civil War, and like most such families, is extremely poorly documented. In this case, there is reason to believe that Solomon from the 1870 census and Simon from the 1880 census are one and the same; though this conclusion is by no means certain. Assuming Simon and Solomon are the same person, this family orginated in South Carolina and moved first to Bradford, then to Alachua counties in Florida, before moving on to Putnam county and to the Miami area, where the descendants are today. The family, tree is very much incomplete, so make sure to verify the information before using it.

Interestingly, there were two white Parrott families in South Carolina before the Civil War. They were unrelated to each other, but one did use the name Simon and the other Solomon.

========================
Posted on http://www.edmond-spikesfamilyreunion.com/memorial/ruby-parrott/2/

One hundred one years ago on November 14, 1914, Shed and Luella Edmond were blessed with the birth of their sixth child whom they named RUBY EDMOND. This infant grew into a young adult in Dublin, Georgia until she met and married Gordon Jackson from the next county over. They moved to Miami, Florida and from this union, she bore two children. She became a single woman, left to rear her first two children until she met and married Herbert Parrott who preceded her in death. From this Union, she bore four more children. "Mother" as she was lovingly called by her children, grand children, great grandchildren, and even strangers, was a God fearing, hard working woman who always put her family first.

She loved the Lord and her church. Her first church membership was with Mt. Sinai Baptist Church in Overtown under the pastorage of the late Reverend S.A. Thomas. She later joined Mt. Tabor Missionary Baptist Church under the pastorage of the late Reverend J.N. Byrd. She moved her membership to Christian Fellowship MBC when it was organized 48 years ago. She served faithfully under the late Reverend P.S. Brown, C. Felder, and Charles Coleman. She proudly watched her grandson whom she raised take over the leadership at Christian Fellowship four (4) years ago. When it became too difficult for her to travel by car-she would always look for the SST VAN to come and transport her to church.

Mother was a faithful Eastern Star member until her health interfered. She led the Willing Workers' auxiliary at Christian Fellowship for a number of years. You could often find Mother under the tree that used to be on the corner of this church selling her Bar-B-Que and soul food meals to support her church. Oh, how her older kids dreaded Friday's because we had to help Mother prepare for her Saturday sales. She was having it no other way! Once she stopped her dinner sales, she did not lower her support of her church.

Mother would give the last in her wallet for her church. She never used the excuse that she did not have because she was confident in the fact that: "The Lord would make a way somehow," and he did because Mother made it in spite of being born with a physical handicap; in spite of having to be a single parent for multiple years, in spite of having had only an eighth grade education; in spite of having her first home foreclosed on for the lack of $100; in spite of having to step in and raise grandchildren from teenage parents; in spite of having to bury four of her children and three of her grandchildren. Mother never suffered because she was a God fearing solider who strongly instilled the love of God in her children.

MOTHER WAS A STRONG WOMAN WHO HAS LEFT STRONG SEEDLINGS TO CARRY ON HER LEGACY. She leaves to celebrate her life daughters: Anna Jackson and Estella Parrott; Grand children: Reverend Benjamin Parrott (Lawana); Deacon Irving Jackson (Melody); Arthur Hamilton (Minyon); Byron Haugabook (Sharie); Gordon Haugabook, Margretta Cooper (Dexter); Xiomara Hamilton; Laurie Jackson; Meghan Jackson; Arthur McKinney (Angela); Jerold Parrott; Darnetia Parrott; Danica Parrott; one daughter-in-law Deborah Parrott. She was preseded in death by her son Jimmie Parrott; daughter-Larida Hamilton; daughter-Athalie Parrott; her son-Tyrone Parrott; granddaughter-Alicia Parrott; granddaughter-Eleanise Hamilton; grandson-Arick Parrott. She also leaves 25 great grand children and 8 great-great grand children along with many other friends, a loving church body, nieces, nephews, and cousins. A very special person named Patricia who served Mother with tender loving care in her final days and the family is eternally grateful to this special angel.

Mother is at peace in the arms of a loving God who saw her labor down here complete.
