This is another of the most poorly documented African-American families. The family appears after the Civil War, and is primarily identified with Darlington county in South Carolina.

There are other African-American Parrott families that originated in Darlington county, but thus far, the paper record does not connect them. Only a Y-DNA test will be able to tell if they are related or not. These families are identified according to their earliest known ancestor:
