If accounts are correct, this is one of two Parrott families living in Botetourt Co., Virginia, with this one being of French origin. This tree focusses on 1 family branch, so a lot of tree reconstruction still needs to be done.

  • 1. Capt Henry Parrott, son of John Parrott, was born on 15 Nov 1782 in Botetourt Co., Virginia and died on 17 Dec 1851 in Abingdon, Washington Co., Virginia, at age 69.

    Notes: Information from Parrott Talk 2(3):33 1974, citing Piper family bible. Henry's parents are not identified.

    Parrott Talk IX:94, 1991, gives two scenarios. In one, Captn Henry is the s/o of an older Henry also living in Botetourt [descended from Bryant Parrott of New England]. This scenario is likely wrong.

    Accordingly, it also describes Henry A. Parrott's confederate pension application: "Dr. Parrott stated his father was William Lusk Parrott; his grandfather was Capt. Henry Parrott and his great-grandfather was John Parrott, a Frenchman who came with the French Army and fought with Washington in the war for Independence from England." So, if the information on the pension application is accurate, Captain Henry Parrott was not related to the other Henry living in Botetourt.

    Notes: Severe Injuries.
    Mr. Rufus M. Parrott, of this county, met with a very severe injury on Monday, the 1st inst. He was carrying a heavy log of timber across a branch to load upon his wagon, and in crossing, his foot slipped from a rock upon which he had stepped, and he fell, - the log falling on his left leg, which was pinioned upon the rock. The rock had a jagged poing upward, which was driven entirely thro' the calf of his leg between the two bones. and strange as it may seem, without producing a fracture. Whilst he is suffering very greatly from the injury, it is believed he will not be permanently effected by it.

    On Thursday of the same week, a colored boy, working for Mr. Parrott, fell from a hay stack, and in his descent, caught upon teh point of the handle of a hay fork which ran into his abdomen several inches, producing, as was thought at the time, a mortal wound; but we learn there is hope of his recovery. The fork had been carelessly set beside the stack The wonder is that the boy was not killed outright.

    Notes: Summers Hardware and Supply Company has had a long convoluted metamorphosis as it migrated through several decades, store locations and individuals into the business that is today located at 400 Buffalo Street.
    <snip>
    To further add to the myriad of business titles, after February 1900, H.R. Parrott, who had been traveling with a nearby Bristol firm, arrived in town and bought John Lyle's interest in the operation. Also, Joseph P. Summers who had left the city in 1892 returned and joined the company. The new name was Summers, Barton & Parrott.

    After 1910, William Barton decided to organize a retail store and feed business so he sold his portion to James A. Summers. The new partnership became identified as Summers-Parrott Hardware Company and boasted of $50,000 in capitalization. Summers became president of the new firm and sold the retail department to other individuals in the city. The business was now fully wholesale and would remain as such until the present.

    When the Buffalo Street operation opened its doors to the pubic in 1911, its business flourished. The company began selling Ford and Buick automobiles in addition to hardware.

    A 1915 Chamber of Commerce publication had glowing comments about the firm: "One of the most striking features of the big business interests of Johnson City is stability, as exhibited in the fact that among its representative houses are some that have gained success and prominence by steady development through many years of active and honorable business history, a notable example being Summers-Parrott Hardware Company.

    "This is one of the largest concerns of its kind in this section and operates an immense business in Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina and Kentucky. The comparatively new building now occupied is an immense four-story structure and basement, 107 by 150 feet in dimensions and erected in the year 1911."

    After 1915, industry conditions necessitated the separating of the business. Parrott chose to stay with the automobile portion so he sold his interest to James A. Summers, built a garage next door to his former company and opened his store. Summers-Parrott Hardware was reorganized as Summers Hardware Company and, over the next several years, edged forward in spite of numerous economic downturns.

    JOHNSONCITIAN ENDS OWN LIFE
    Harry R. Parrott, Depressed Over Ill Health, Sends Bullet Into Brain.

    Johnson City, Tenn., May 11.-- Hary R. Parrott, once a prominent figure in business circles here, was found lying unconscious in his room this morning about 7:45 o'clock, with blood oozing from a hole in his head, the revolver from which the shot had been fired lying beside him. He died within an hour, without having regained consciousness.

    The shot was heard by the family, Mrs. Parrott rushing to his side, while other members of the family called in four physicians. A few minutes after being lifted from the floor the victim of a self-inflicted shot had expired. The bullet passed through his head and shattered a mirror in front of which he was standing when the fatal shot was fired.

    The act of Mr. Parrott was attributed by the family to illness, Mr. Parrott having been in failing health for months, never having fully recovered from an attack of pneumonia.

    Mr. Parrott was for nine years a member of the Summers-Parrott Hardware company as its vice-president, quitting that company a few years ago to enter the automobile business. He recently had retired from active work, leaving the business in the hands of his son, Frank Parrott.

    Mr. Parrott is survived by four children, Frank and Harry P. Parrott, Mrs. Alfred Carr and Miss Margaret Parrott. He also leaves a brother, George Parrott of Roanoke, Va., and a sister, Miss Sally Parrott of Abingdon, Va. He was a deacon in the First Presbyterian church here.
