This family has no known living male descendants. It can be traced back to an Eleazer, who was born in Lynn, Massachusetts ca 1778. It remains to be determined if Eleazer was related to the other Parrott family from Lynn, MA or it originated elsewhere. Eleazer was the right age to have been another child of Benjamin, the patriarch of the Lynn, MA Parrotts.

    "MODERN PRISCILLA (1887-1930) began at Lynn, Massachusetts, as a sixteen-page quarto devoted to fancy work, dress patterns, china painting, and needlework in general, at fifty cents a year. In 1894 it was moved to Boston, and eventually it was enlarged in scope to cover many other aspects of women's home life. It absorbed EVERYDAY HOUSEKEEPING in March 1912, and HOME NEEDLEWORK MAGAZINE in May 1917. The last issue was July 1930, after which it apparently merged into NEEDLECRAFT."

    ===============================
    ISAIAH CLARKSON PARROTT
    The many knitters and devotees of needlework will be interested to know that Isaiah Clarkson Parrott, who recently died in Boston, was editor of The Modern Priscilla for tthe past thirttwo-two (sic) years. To Mr. Clarkson needlework was an art, and he was the possessor of many pieces of rare beauty which were a delight to himself and his friends, and to his collection he was constantly adding.

    Needlework, however, was but one of the many arts in which Mr. Parrott was interested, musicians, painters and decorators were among his close friends, and he was well-informed in all branches. Singing was his delight and he had a special fondness for all the coloratura soprani, particularly Galli-Curci. The collection of (sic) rare old jeyels (sic) was also his hobby. Scarabs shaped by Egyptians, dead these thousands of years; seals used to place the mark of authority on royal documents of Assyrian kings; jewelry worn by citizens of the Roman Empire, as well as by reigning beauties of the days when France was a monarchy; "poison rings" fashioned by Italy's cunning craftsmen of years gone by to speed the departure of some mortal tired of this world's activities or dangers; a bishop's ring and pectoral cross, worn by some church dignitary of long ago; antique rosaries, cameos, intaglios and curios galore, each suggesting tales of by-gone days more fascinating than fiction; all these were among his treasures.

    His faculty for friendship was rare. Not only did he hold fast to his old friends, but because of his deep personal interest in all that went on about him, he was constantly adding the new.

    In his passing there has bone a rarely beautiful spirit, one of God's true gentlemen.
