Another family, also from Bedfordshire, settled in Oakland Co., Michigan in 1852. Likewise, a second family from Bedfordshire also emigrated to the USA in 1888 and became established in Texas. It is not currently known if these families are related--a Y-DNA test would help make that determination.

Finally, one of the early American Parrott families also came from Bedfordshire a couple of centuries earlier, but there is no way of knowing if they are the same family without a Y-DNA test. It is known that there were at least 2 unrelated P-rr-tt families in Bedfordshire at the time.

    Dad you were always there to cheer, to encourage, and to lift us up. You taught us to always work hard and give our best- to always do it right the first time, to have pride in our work, to believe in ourselves, to never give up. You taught us STRENGTH and PERSEVERANCE

    You loved to work outside in your yard, in your garage...to build things, and create. There was not a project that you wouldn't perfect. You taught us to PROBLEM SOLVE and INNOVATE.

    You loved simplicity. Your dinner needed no spice or onions ?? and pizza only made sense with pepperoni. You observed the simple, sweet details, whether looking out into your backyard or appreciating a road trip and scenic view. You taught us to live simply and to stop and appreciate the BLESSINGS around us.

    You loved tradition . Christmas with you and mom in your beautifully decorated family room will never be the same. You loved to take pictures and cherished the present and the past, but taught us to set goals and have hope for the future - We learned all of this from you and carry it with us.

    We loved Disney together and you taught us that it's ok to let the innocence and imagination of childhood shine sometimes; to believe in the MAGIC ?

    You loved our mom endlessly, and until your last day, you remained faithfully by her side. You loved your children, your friends, your family , your pups. You were the BEST Dance Poppy and your grandchildren were your world. ?? You filled us with LOVE and taught us RESPECT and DEVOTION.

    You showed us the WORLD And taught us the values to make a difference

    You taught us about Jesus. To believe in Him , to serve Him, to love Him, to have FAITH.

    Daddy, We will miss you so, so much, and until we are together again, We Love You ??

    p.s. Thanks for sharing a milkshake with me
