Notes: Letter from Cyril Ray Parrott, published in Parrott Talk IX:83.
"Those receiving property under the unprobated Will of Thomas Lankton dated September 11, 1696, witnessed by William and James Damorell were William Stevens, Jabezaj Ford, Andrew James, Rachel Mary Damorell and MR. FRANCIS PARROT'! The word "Mr." preceding the name then bore the connotation that the person was recognized as a gentleman, a person of class, by the general public. Francis Parrott was the only person named in the Will to which this honor was bestowed."

The widow Frances Johnson Parrott married Martin Frederick Razor and had 2 children: Christina and Edward.
Upon petition of Martin Frederick Razor showing a tract of land containing 160 acres in Chowan County, formerly granted to Francis Parrott and lapsed for want of being seated in due time, petitioner prays the same be granted to him. Ordered that same be granted as prayed for at Court held at Hon. Thos. Pollack's Chowan County August 1717. (Col. Rec. Bk. 2 page 291) This land was located on Salmon Creek of Log House Swamp.
A good reference to clarify family relationships is Susannah Johnson, who gave her grandchildren a deed of gift, County of Albermarle Precinct of Chowan "for the love, good will and affection I bear toward my grandchildren, Jacob Parrott, Susannah Parrott and Elizabeth Parrott, son and daughters of Francis Parrott lately deceased" (1715) Book 1 page 178 Chowan Reg. of Deeds office.

2. Jacob Parrott (Francis1) was born on 5 May 1696 in Bertie Co., North Carolina and died on 17 Nov 1738 in Perquimans Co., North Carolina, at age 42.
Notes: From a letter by CR Parrott, Parrott Talk 13:83-87, 1998:
"10. For the first time, that I can recall, the last name of Jacob is spelled PARROTT" in both deeds from Thomas Ryan. He is the first one that I have noticed who officially spelled his name as I do. Hathaway has the last name of Francis spelled Perrot, and Perrott, but not Parrott, sad Ray missed the boat as to Jacob in his Index to Hathaway."
============
Jacob could not read or write, A quote was found in Links that Bind about Jacob: "Oh Francis, why didn't thou teach thy son to read and write? For it is written that you were a man of education. Evidently your son Jacob, was eighteen years old at the time of your death". Francis being Jacobs Father.

Benjamin received 1213 acres in Darlington Co. on 15 Jan 1836.
"In the land grant to Benjamin Parrott Sr. of Darlington District, S.C. Sept 13, 1834, Benjamin was the son of Revolutionary John Parrott and Elizabeth Oxley Parrott, Dobbs Co., North Carolina.
"The grant states the location as the sides of Jefferies Creek and is for the amount of 1,213 acres. As Jefferies Creek is mentioned in connection with the location of a Parrott cemetery in Darlington County this ties the location to the family. Also it is proof Benjamin Parrott, Sr. was in Darlington District by 1834."

He did not think secession wise, but went heart and soul with his state and raised a company of state troops, and served throughout the war. He had the entire confidence of the Confederate Government and received his orders direct from the War Department. All records were destroyed when Sherman burned Columbia."
Letter reprinted in Links that Bind, page 187:
"Darlington, S.C., May 21, 1866
"Dear William (Garner, the letter writer's wife's 2nd cousin),
"Your letter of the 15th ultimo came to hand a few days ago, and we were all glad to hear you and family particularly to hear that you were all very well, and doing well, all things considered.
"We are all well and enjoying very good health since the surrender. And we are all yet alive.
"The white people have generally been unusually healthy but a great many Negroes have died since they were freed, many of them will not work, they neglect the sick and starve their children to death. To show you the extent of the idleness now, not only tolerated but encouraged by the yankees, this district has fifteen hundred hands less on the farm than it did last year. I consider the negroe as a plantation hand, forever ruined, and this is attributed to the vitiated influence of the yankees.
"The garrison that was first stationed at Darlington were with-drawn about the 20th of March. They openly declared they would burn the village down before they left, so on the Saturday night before they were to leave on Monday, they set it on fire and it was entirely destroyed.
"Houses set each other on fire. The court house and jail were burned and every building o and around the public square. We are getting along tolerably well under the circumstances, and we had had an unusual amount of rain this spring and at this time we are literally drowned, being unable to even get into the field, yet corn looks tolerably well for the season, but, wheat has the rust, and as to cotton, it is entirely hard to say anything about. I have only three hands hired this year on the farm, and cook, and washer, all the other negroes have gone to other places. I would not only hire the best hands and those I knew I could control with my moral influence. Consequently, I have moved along without any difficulty. We can not expect to prosper in this country, I think it will be all we can do to live. The negroes being under no restraint, steal everything they wish, and you detect them the authorities refuse to punish, in fact, they tutor the negroes to steal.
"We begin however to learn a different way to do business, the rogues steal when no eye sees, and he is being punished the same way.
"You asked me in your letter if I do not think it would be better to leave this poor country and go to Arkansas where the land would be better. I answer, yes, if I can sell out here, I intend to emigrate to some country or state where I will at least have the protection of a slave, here we have no protection, not with standing the president has declard the union restored and the civil laws again supreme. The yankees will not allow us to enforce the execution of any sentence in the courts, particularly if the sentence be against rogues and negroes.
"I have received a letter from Edward Parrott (another of the letter writer's wive's 2nd cousins, Joseph Edward being the son of Lemuel Hardy Parrott), he is in Colorado Territory and from the way he writes, he wants to come home.
"He seems to think it is a poor country to live where he is. I have written him to come home.
"Your father, I believe, is still in N.C. with Mary (his daughter). Your Uncle Chapel Garner is getting along tolerably well. Jim and Joe are merchandising in Timmonsville and believe doing very good business for the times.
"I believe I have now written you all the news of a local character and must come to a close. You tell Hettie to write to me and tell me all about her history during the war and you must continue to write for her.
"We are always glad to hear from you and Mary and the children. All join me in their love to you and all the family.
"Affectionately, D.G. Wood"

"Hardy Z. Parrott, a farmer near Irene, came to Texas in 1869, when about nineteen years of age, with only a change of underclothes and $20 in debt. His first employment here was to brand cattle, and he followed that business until 1875. He made plenty of money, but did not keep it. Making up his mind to lay up some treasure, he farmed one year on halves, then rented for one-third and one-fourth, continuing renting until 1886. He then moved to his own home, having married in 1975. Meanwhile he had been buying and selling small tracts of land. In 1883 he purchased the land which he now occupies, then unimproved and comprising 640 acres, and made some improvements there before he moved upon it. He has since added by purchase 272 acres, and now owns over 800 acres, 165 acres in cultivation, raising as succession of crops, mostly wheat, corn and oats renting a portion of the land. He also raises his home supplies in the way of vegetables, meat, etc. For about five years he as been dealing in cattle, raising some, but buying more largely, feeding and marketing. He has now on hand a good herd for next spring's market.
"He was born in South Carolina, September 17, 1848, and raised in Concord, Florida. His parents died when he was young and he was brought up by a sister, whose husband was engaged in the mercantile business, and he was employed in the store as soon as old enough. He remained there until he came to Texas, as above stated. His parents were William and Rebecca Parrott, who moved from South Carolina to Florida in 1851,\endash and both died there,\endash the father in 1852 and the mother in 1854. Her father was a minister of the Missionary Baptist Church. Mr. Parrott's father and grandfather, Benjamin Parrott, were natives of South Carolina, and of Scotch descent. The grandfather was a soldier in the Revolutionary was, as was also his father, a native of Scotland. [Wparrott's note: Hardy's great grandfather was John Benjamin Parrott, at least a 3rd generation American. There is no existing evidence to tie this family to Scotland]. In Mr. Parrott's father's family were seven children, as follows: W.B., now in Florida; J.N.W. now near San Antonio, a farmer; Fannie, who married N.T. Scott, who brought up Mr. Parrott, and died in Florida; Sarah who married J.H. Higgin, in Georgia; Caroline, who married W.Z. Hendrey; he died and she is now a resident of Florida; Rebecca died unmarried; Samuel D. came to Texas in 1856, and has made his home with his brother, the subject of this sketch. Two brothers, William and J.N.W., were in the late war, remaining to the end.
"Mr. Parrott married Miss Sarah McDaniel, born May 24, 1858, a daughter of James and Mary McDaniel, of Missouri. Mr. McDaniel, a farmer by occupation, came to Texas in 1858, enlisted in the Confederate service, and died from sickness in 1862. Mrs. McDaniel still survives, living now in Hill county. Mr. and Mrs. Parrott have had eight children, four of whom died in infancy; the living are: McD., born March 28, 1876; Dixie, January 14, 1884; Sarah E., June 5, 1886; and Mary M., May 22, 1889.

Notes: SENSATIONAL TURN
Howard S. Clark Arrested on Chrge of Killing Wife.
Florence, April 6. - Howard S. Clark, a well-known young farmer, of Black Swamp Township, was arrested to-day under a warrant, charging him with the killing of his young wife, Mrs. Parrott Clark, on last Tuesday at their home. it will be remembered that it was at first reported that Mrs. Clark had committed suicide by shooting herself through the head, and that her husban, with two of his hands while in the yard near the house heard the shots, and ran to her, finding her mortally wounded lying across the bed with a pistol bullet thorugh her temple, from which she died a few moments later.
Not content with the verdict of the coroner's jury which investigated the death of this young wife, who, it is reported was soon to become a mother, the brother of the deceased, Mr. Carl Parrott, of Hartsville, so it is reliably stated, had a warrant issued for Clark, charging him with the killing. The warrant was sent to Sheriff Burch, and to-day Rural Policeman Sam J. cole and Deputy Sheriff Maxey Burch went to Mr. Clark's home, just across Black Creek, and placed him under arrest, bringing him to Florence later and turning him over to the sheriff.
It is said that Clark was somewhat indifferent when the officers informed him of the nature of their visit, and without any words came on to Florence with them. The arrest of Clark has created a great sensation throughout the city. As soon as he reached the city he was permitted to see attorneys.
Ever since the shocking tragedy of last week there has been all kinds of rumors afloat throughout the city concerning the death of Mrs. Clark, but nothing definite could be learned until to-day when Mr. Clark was brought to the city.
Mr. Clark is the son of the late Fred Clark, who at the time of his death was a member of the house of representatives from this county. The Clark family are amoung the very best people in the county. Mrs. Parrott Clark was only about 23 years old, and is a member of one of the well known Parrott families of old Darlington county. Mrs. Clark was married to Howard Clark less than three years ago and was a most charming and clever young woman, and was admired by her many friends for her lovely traits of character and womanly virtues.

ENOUGH POISON IN STOMACH TO KILL SEVERAL PERSONS
This Is Official Report on Post Morten Examination of Mrs. Nita Parrott Clark.
Hartsville, April 30. - By direction of the family of the alleged suicide, Mrs. Nita Parrott Clark, the body of the young lady was exhumed, and the tomach removed by Drs. Powe, Harbison and Scott, a few days after interment at Bethel cemetery in this county, and sent to the chemical department of Clemson college for analysis.
Dr. Powe is in receipt of official information that the stomach of the young woman contained 1.125 grains of arsenic, enough to kill six persons possibly.
About 9:45 on the night of March 31, H.M. Parrott, brother of Mrs. Nita Parrott Clark, was called over telephone by James Privitt by request of Jim Clark, of Florence, asking that he inform the family that Mrs. Nita Parrott Clark had shot herself about 6:30 o'clock. H.M. Parrott left on the early train the next morning for Florence, and went immediately to the residence of Howard Clark, who lives six miles from the city of Florence. He found after his arrival that the inquest had been held the night before between the hours of 12 and 2 o'clock, the verdic of the jury epannelled being that the death of the young lady was caused by a pistol shot inflicted with her own hands.
Upon information from parties living in the neighborhood, and from the appearance of the room in which the young woman was alleged to have committed the deed, Mr. Parrott suspected foul play, and stopped preparations which had been made for a funeral to be held at 3 o'clock that day. He further requested that the body be turned over to him to be brought to Bethel cemetery, near the old home in Darlington county, for interment, which was done.
The Florence county officers showed themselves extremely interested in the case by following up every possible clue which might lead to the possible cause of the young woman's death. A revolver with four empty chambers recently fired was found on the bed, and a vial with a small quantity of arsenic was found on a shelf in the room. A half eaten banana and apple were also found, which indicated she had fruit with poison. As a result of these investigations a warrant was sworn out before a magistrate at Timmonsville by G.E. Parrott, and placed in the hands of the sheriff for execution, charging the young husband, Howard Clark, with the crime. He was arrested the following Monday and brought to Florence jail. He has made ineffectual efforts to obtain bond.
Mrs. Nita Parrott Clark and Howard Clark were married just 22 months before her tragic death, at the age of 17 years. She was the youngest child of Mrs. Elizabeth and the late James J. Parrott, who lived and reared a large and prominent family at their home near Hartsville.
Much interest and feeling is manifest throughout Darlington county, and the outcome of the trial of the husband of the young woman, with its extremely senstational developments, will be watched with intense interest.

Notes: NEW TRIAL FOR HOWARD CLARK NOW IS SOUGHT
After-Discovered Evidence Claimed for Florence County Man Serving Life Term.
Florence, March 28.- A little less than ten years ago, the body of Mrs. Howard Clark, the wife of a prosperous Florence county farmer, was exhumed, and an examination of the body revealed evidence of poisoning. Up to that time it had been thought that Mrs. Clark, who was found dead on her bed, with pistol beside her and a bullet wound in the head, on the afternoon of March 31, 1914, had committed suicide. But from that examination, a case was worked up which resulted in a life sentence being passed on her husband for murder, and today he is a prisoner in the penitentiary in Columbia.
The story of that murder or suicide will be reopened on Monday, when attorneys for Howard Clark come before Judge John S. Wilson of Manning, presiding over the March term of the court of general sessions at Florence, and seek a new trial for their client on the gounds of after-discovered evidence.
The motion is to be supported mainly by affidavits from Howard Clark and Dr. J.G. McMaster of Florence, the family physician at the tie of the tragedy. Other minor affidavits are attached to the notice received by the solicitor.
Clark married Miss Anita Parrott of Darlington, in 1912, and they lived alone about six miles north of Florence at the time of the tragedy. At the coroner's inquest held the night of the finding of the body, Clark was exonerated of any connection with the death of his wife, witnesses testifying he was not in the house at the time the shot was heard.
However, the brothers of Mrs. Clark were not satisfied with this verdict, and, following the exhumating and examination of their sister's body, they had sheriff Thomas S. Burch of Florence secure the aid of a private who, after hearing the details of the tragedy, advised the sheriff that he felt enough evidence could be secured for an arrest, and a few days later Howard Clark was lodged in jail, charged with the murder of his wife.
At the June term of the court in 1914, the case came to trial those witnesses who had substantiated Clark's alibi at the coroner's inquest was untrue and had been given becuase they had been intimidated.
Feeling against Clark had started with his arrest, it is declared, and was at a high stage when the case came to trial. Following the close of the testimonh for the prosecution, and believing that the high feeling made a fair trial impossible, the defense offered no testimony in rebuttal, but offered in open court to accept the compromise verdict of life imprisonment. To this the prosecution agreed, and Clark was started on the present term, which since has been marked by two sensational escopes (sic) from the Columiba penitentiary which were followed by recapture after long and hard chases.
Clark in his affidavit, tells of purchasing strychnine on the afternoon of the tragedy to be used to kill dogs whih were stealing chickens from his place. When he returned home his wife asked if he had gotten it, and he gave the strychnine over to her. He was seated in the yard strumming on a guitar, when she called to hm to say that she was feeling badly, he states. He went in the house, and she asked him to remove her shoes and stockings, which he did. Following this, he declares in the affidavit, she asked him to send for his mother to his wife's aid, that he heard the the (sic) pistol shot which proved fatal to Mrs. Clark. He declares that it was because of the high feeling at the time of the trial that he agreed to the compromise verdict, and states that 11 of the members of the jury which sat on the case recently signed a
NEW TRIAL FOR HOWARD CLARK NOW IS SOUGHT
recommenation (sic) for clemeny, and that when the facts of the case presented to Governor McLeod with a request for clemency, the executive told Clark's attorneys that they had sufficient evidence, apparently, to regain in the courts the man's freedom. Hence the action which will be taken Monday.
Dr. McMaster's affidavit sets forth that he was never called to testify either by the defense or prosecution, that he was the first physician to reach the death bed of Mrs. Clark, and that, when he lifted her head, the bullet dropped out, which, together with the facts that there was but one blood stain on the pillow, proved false the testimony at the trial of Clark that the boy (sic) had been moved before the doctor's arrival.
He declares that Mrs. Clark was in a depressed state of mind for some time prior to the tragedy, and had often confided in him her longing to be a mother. He sets forth that he advised her that he believed a certain operation would make this possible, but that she was afraid to submit to the operation. He declares that the news that she "had taken her life" was no surprise to him. He sets forth that his conscience has troubled him for the decade which has passed, and during which Clark has been imprisoned, and that he had frequently thought of presenting his knowledge of the case to the governor of the state in the interest of securing clemency for Clark. This he did, recently, and it was on this together with other evidence, that Clark's attorneys sought clemency of Governor McLeod.

Notes: From Wikipedia
George Fountain Parrott (23 December 1887 - 9 October 1918 ) was an officer in the United States Navy during World War I .
"Born at Falling Creek, North Carolina, Parrott was appointed Midshipman 3 July 1906 and graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy, class of 1911. Attached to Shaw (DD-68) in the English Channel, when, on convoy duty, that destroyer was cut in two by British troopship Aquitania while pursuing a German submarine. Lt. Parrott was killed during the accident.
USS Parrott (DD-218) was named for him."
From http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/agency/navy/dd-68.htm
"Shaw's own ordeal came on 9 October 1918. While escorting the giant British transport, Aquitania, Shaw's rudder jammed just as she was completing the right leg of a zigzag, leaving her headed directly towards the transport. A moment later, Aouitania struck Shaw, cutting off 90 feet of the destroyer's bow, mangling her bridge and setting her on fire. Shaw's crew heroically brought her damage under control, and a skeleton crew of 21 men took the wreck 40 miles into port under her own power."
From http://www.history.navy.mil/danfs/p2/parrott.htm
"George Fountain Parrott, born 23 December 1887 at Falling Creek, N.C., was appointed Midshipman 3 July 1906 and graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy, class of 1911. Attached to Shaw (DD- 68) in the English Channel, when, on convoy duty, that destroyer was cut in two by British troopship Acquitania while pursuing a German submarine. Lt. Parrott went down with his ship 9 October 1918."

From: United States Naval Academy Lucky Bag Year Book, 1911, p 195
"George Fountain Parrott, Jr. "Polly" "Bird"
George Fountain Parrott, Jr., was born in Falling Creek, N.C., on December 22, 1887. He attended successively the Kingstown Graded School and the Rhodes Military Institute, but did not graduate from either. He then went to the Oak Ridges Institute, N.C., from which he graduated. His present home address is Kinston, N.C. He was appointed from the 2nd district, North Carolina, by the Hon. C. Kitchin.
You may know Polly intimately for months and never hear him speak an unkind work of another. Appreciating the prevalence of criticism at the Academy, we can realize what it means to abstain from it. Quiet, unassuming, and it must be said, far from addicted to work. Has a Southerner's love of ease, but actually mustered up sufficient energy to be a football representative to the Third Company once upon a time. Always in a good humor. About every three weeks, he becomes very voluble and musical. Though not remarkably religious, Polly was elected President of the Y.M.C.A. Second Class year. However, his high ideals of honor would not permit him to accept the office after learning that the ballots had been stuffed and he resigned in favor of one more religiously inclined. Has long dreamed of a medical career, but will make a better naval officer than doctor."

DESTROYER PARROTT NEARS COMPLETION PHILADEPHIA YARD
Will Be Put Overboard at Early Date, One of Finest of Her Type - Kinston Party to Go North for Ceremony
The "Parrott," first warship to be named for a Kinstonian, is nearing completion at Philadelphia. The destroyer will be launched into Delaware River in a very short time, stated Secretary of the Navy Daniels in notifying Mr. George Parrott Wednesday of the honor that had come to his family.
The ship is the newest-type craft of her class. She will be several hundred feet long and will carry a heavy armament for a vessel of the kind. It was in a destroyer that Lieut.-Com. Fountain Parrott, whose memory is to be honored, met his death during the world war following a collision with a British ship.
Commander Parrott was a gallant officer and a polished gentleman. That sums up the regard of his fellow-officers for him. Many found cause for deep regret in his death. The deep is his grave.
Miss Julia Bizzell Parrott, the sister who will act as sponsor, will be accompanied to Philadelphia by a number of relatives and friends.

Dedication to James M. Parrott, M.D. of Kinston, N.C. the editors of The Howler dedicates this volume as a slight tribute to an eminent and loyal son of our beloved Alma Mater
http://archive.org/stream/howler1914wake#page/n13/mode/2up
James Marion Parrott
The HOWLER of 1914 is fortunate in associating itself with the name of a gentleman whose distinguished ability has the called him into the chief places of service in North Carolina medicine, whose life illustrates the best standards of Christian culture and exhibits a fine devotion to the common good, a Wake Forest man in training, ideals and unbroken loyalty-Dr. James M. Parrott, of Kinston, N.C.
Dr. Parrott, the fifth son of James M. and Elizabeth Warton Parrot, was born January 7, 1874, near Kinston, N.C.
After preliminary training in public and private schools, including Kinston College, he entered Wake Forest College in 1888. He left in 1891 without taking a degree. The position which he now holds as trustee is sufficient proof of loyalty to his alma mater, who is proud to number him among her sons.
He continued his professional education at the University of Maryland and at Tulane University, where he graduated in 1895. After this, he completed his medical education by taking post-graduate work in New York and abroad.
Little more than an enumeration of his honors is possible here. He was assistant surgeon in the United States Army in Cuba immediately after the Spanish-American War. For six years, he has been a director of the State Hospital for the Insane at Raleigh, N.C. He has been for more than seven years medical director of the North State Life Insurance Company. He was at one time president of the Atlantic Coast Line and Norfolk Southern Railroads. He is surgeon-in-chief of the Memorial Hospital of Kinston. In the North Carolina Medical Society, he has held positions as annual orator, leader of debate, chairman of the committee on surgery and anatomy, fourth vice-president, third vice-president; and now he holds the enviable position of president of that organization.
Nor have his activities been merely professional, for beside writing and speaking on medical subjects, he has delivered addresses on social, political, and religious subjects. He was instrumental in securing the Statewide prohibition law. He has been for two or three terms moderator of the Neuse-Atlantic Association, and was at one time vice-president of the Baptist State Convention. He is now chairman of the Board of Education of Lenoir County.
Lack of space forbids further enumeration of his honors and public services. Enough, we trust, has been said to show even the casual reader that Dr. Parrott is a man whom the College delights to honor. It is an unfeigned pleasure to us to be able to dedicate The Howler for 1914 to this distinguished alumnus, as a token of our appreciation and admiration of one who deserves greater honors than are in our power to bestow.

Marriage Notes: WEDDING IN COLUMBUS, GA.
Miss Parrott of Clinton, S.C. and J.W. Copeland of Statesville, N.C.
Atlanta Constitution.
Columbus, Ga., Nov. 20.- (Special.)- Miss Mattie Parrott of Clinton, S.C. and Mr. James W. Copeland, of Statesville, N.C., were married in Columbus last night under rather romantic circumstances. Mrs. Copeuland, who was Miss Parrott, was a very charming young lady of Clinton, the daugher of a prominent minister of that place, who has been visiting Miss Bobbie Griggs at her home on Rose Hill. Mr. Copeland is the son of a prominent and well to do merchant in Clinton. The parents of the young lady rather objected to the match. About a month ago Miss Parrott came to visit in Columbus. In some way the parents got the idea that Mr. Copeland might come here and wrote to Mrs. Griggs regarding the matter. Mr. Copeland arrived in the city Sunday and it was not long before Mrs. Griggs had heard of his arrival. It was suspected that the young people planned to marry here, and considerable care was taken to prevent a romantic wedding.
The old saying, however, that "Love laughs at locksmiths" came true this morning. Last night, Miss Parrott, accompanied by Miss Bobbie Griggs and their mutual friend, Mr. Ezekiel Kelly, left the Griggs home, presumably to go to a drug store near by. Instead, they were met by carriages and proceeded to the home of Dr. W.H. Smith, where Mr. Copeland joined them and wehre the couple was married. In the meantime there was a flutter of uncertainty at the Griggs home, and as time passed the suspicion that "something was happening" became deeper, and when the young coupple appeared on th scene as man and wife it did not occasion so very much surprise. Mr. and Mrs. Copeland left today for their home at Statesville.

Notes: FIRE AT BISHOPVILLE
The Stables of Mr. W.L. Parrott Burned.
BISHOPVILLE, Dec. 26. - The barn and stables of Mr. W.L. Parrott were burned yesterday. The fire originated from fire works, which had been set off in the vicinity as a part of the Christmas celebration. At least this is the supposition, as there was no known cause, and this appears the only reasonble theory. Mr. Parrott's loss will amount to about two to three hundred dollars. The exact loss is not known and the figures given above are but a rough estimate.

Special to the State.
Bishopville, April 5 -- W.L. Parott, postmaster at Bishopville and several times mayor of the town, committed suicide at his home here tonight, shooting himself through the head with a .38 calibre pistol. Death was apparently instantaneous.

Until four years ago when he was appointed postmaster, he had been the cashier of the Farmers Loan and Trust company of Bishopville.
Last night Mr. Parrott and his wife had been discussing a letter from their son, a student at the University of South Carolina. Mrs. Parrott left the room for a brief visti to a neighbor leaving her husband alone at the house.
When she returned she found the door locked and looking through the window saw her husband lying on the floor. Upon entering the room she discovered that he was dead, having apparently shot himself with a pistol at aobut 8:45 o'clock.
On the envelope of the letter from their son was scribbled a brief message: "God bless you, my boy. Take care of your mother."
A letter was also left to his wife, which, it is thougth, contains some explanation of his acdt, but Mrs. Parrott has yet been unable to read it.
Besides his son and wife, Mr. Parrott is survived by six daughters, one of whom lives in Kentucky. Arrangements for the funeral have not been announced.

Notes: From 1923 Naval Academy yearbook
John Hurston Parrott
Smithville, Texas
"Poll" "Polly"
POLLY" sounds like a bird, doesn't it? He is a bird but not of the ordinary specie of parrots. In fact, as far as talking goes, he is as much as like a parrott as moonshine is like Haig and Haig. A joke told about his lack of chin-music by a certain one of the fair sex who said she could never tell whether he was mad or tongue-tied.
But, what this Navy hasn't done to him. It's a shame! John's actually a cigarette fiend. Smoking privileges mean nothing to him. He comes into the room after breakfast; "Tendency in here? No? Well, let's smoke anyhow, close to the transom."
His snakish tendencies are still in the background, and he has a record of having put his feet on a ballroom floor but once.
Polly, last but not least, is savvy. If proof is needed, didn't he learn the eye chart three years straight?

Tillman and a brother-in-law of Judge Buchanan, has been appointed ih (sic) his stead. We do not know anything at all of Mr. Tillman; he may be a very good stenographer and all that; but Judge Buchanan is doing himself hurt when he lays open to the charge of nepotism by appointing a member of his family to fill the only position in his gift. From all the information that we can gather Mr. Parrott was giving satisfaction as court stenographer- thi is certainly true with refernce to the bar of Sumter- and his removal, under the circumstances appears to have been altogether unjustifiable. - Sumter Herald.

This morning at 9 o'clock he left his home from the hospital and was bright and cheerful. He was in apparently normal health but had contemplated for several weeks undergoing the operation.
The funeral will take place Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock at the residence. Internment will be at Bethel Mehodist (sic) church, of which he was a member.
He was interested in community development and for ten years had served as a trustee of the Bethel school and was a Woodman of the World.
Mr. Parrott was a son of the late John Franklin Parrott and was a lifelong resident of Darlington county. He was a successful farmer.
His widow and eight children survive, three daughters, Misses Lois Ila, Mary Frances, and Sarah Florence Parrott, and five sons, James Ryan, Glenn Edward, John Franklin, Jr., Lovic and Maurice Parrott.
The news of this good man's untimely death is a great schock to his numerous relatives and friends and his loss will be keenly felt in the community in which he lived his well spent life.

The John F. Parrott Farm, by Rev. Glenn E. Parrott
The setting of this covey of birds is the John F. Parrott farm in Bethel Community, about four miles from Hartsville, Darlington County, South Carolina.
In this setting, a Colonial home with four tall square white columns, surrounded by mighty oaks, magnolias, Carolina laurels, crape myrtles, gardenia, box wood, roses, and violets, a deep well with two wooden buckets, pulley and chain, and a smoke house with plenty of ham and side meat, made up Parrott's paradise for John F. and Mary Lucas Parrott, my grandfather and grandmother. Born Oct. 9, 1835 and August 20, 1843.
Records in my possession tell of slaves owened by my grandfather. Unclipped Confederate Bonds I have say that my grandfather supported whole-heartedly the cause to which Robert E. Lee and "Stonewall" Jackson were dedicated.
To them a son and three daughters were given by the God who was as much a part of the farm as were the sun, moon, stars, rain, pressures, struggles, suffering, pain, and joys.
John F. was that son. Carrie, Maggie, and Jessie were his sisters. That only son was my papa, born Nov. 23, 1873. A beautiful red-headed farm lady was my mama, born May 24, 1873. She was the daughter of Dr. James Jefferson Horton and Sara Ingram Horton of Lancaster County, South Carolina.
In that beautiful setti to them were born five sons and three daughters. Not one of them was red headed! A great disappointment to papa! That setting of beauty, a country Church, a country school, papa and mama and God helped eight boys and girls grow up.
That Colonial home in which these five sons and three daughters were born was constructed of long leaf pine. The sills were hewn and drawn and pegged together. Other parts of the frame and siding and singles were held together with square nails.
A very important part of that farm were the children of the Negro wage hands and sharecroppers who started who started growing up with the eight children of papa and mama. These two groups of children worked together, played together, and now and then there was a fight. These Negro wage hands and share croppers helped papa become a master farmer. With him they stayed until he died.
Papa and mama had wonderful neighbors. They never tried to get one another's wage hands and share croppers by offering them more wages and better shares. They were always concerned about one another's troubles and sufferings. They encouraged one another. Our country Church and country School, both named Bethel, were built of long leaf pine furnished by papa and his neighbors. Teachers Scotts Brown, Mary Tennyson Fletcher and Carlisle Herbert were great encouragers.
Our neighborhood was made up of Sparrows, Howles, Parrotts, Kings, Odoms, Basses, Watsons, Threets, and Privettes. And our country Doctor whom papa encouraged to start his practice in our community. Papa and our neighbors built him an office. Dr. Maurice Scott was dedicated to serving Bethel neighborhood and others for miles around. Of course the most wonderful neighbor of our home was a daily guest, the Negro "mammy". Before we had a community Doctor a favorite Negro "mammy" was often present to help one of us be born before our distant family Doctor arrived.

Notes: DEATH AND WOUND ON TOWN STREET
H.H. Parrott Killed in Bishopville.
DR. J.P. SHAW SHOT
Domestic Infelicities of Brothers-in-Law Result in Firing at Sight.
Bishopville, Jan. 9 - H.H. Parrott is dead and J.P. Shaw, veterinary surgeon, lies in the Florence infirmary probably fatally wounded as a result of a shooting affair on the main street of Bishopville this evening at 8:30 o'clock. Parrott died 30 minutes later at 9 o'clock. Both men were about 30 years old.
According to the best information, bad feelings had existed between the two for some time. Both are prominently connected throughout the county.
Both men were shot in the stomcah, three bullets taking effect in Shaw's abdomen. The shooting took place in front of the American Legion hall on Main street.
Parrott is survived by a wife and baby, his parents and two sisters. Shaw has a wife and three children. He is widely known in this section of the state as a veterinary surgeon and owner of fine horses.
The shooting occured when Parrott, a former service man, came out of the American Legion hall, where a meeting was about to be held, according to information gathered on the streets here. Dr. Shaw was either on the sidewalk or coming from the other side of the street, and, according to the reports, the two men began shooting at sight. Witnesses say from six to ten shots were fired from the pistols of the two men.
Dr. Shaw crumpled up and fell immediately upon being struck. He was rushed through the country by automobile to the hospital in Florence where it is said he will probably die.
Parrott walked across the street to a drug store after being shot, handed his pistol to a young man in the store and asked him to call a doctor. He then fell and died in the establishment in 25 or 30 minutes. He was proprietor of a poolroom near the Legion hall.
Parrott married a half-sister of Dr. Shaw, and it is said the men were not congenial.
-------------------------------------------------
Florence, Jan. 9. - H.H. Parrott of Bishopville is dead and Dr. J.P. Shaw, his brother-in-law, is in critical condition at a hospital here with three bullet wounds in his body as a result of a pistol duel between the two men in the business section of Bishopville eary tonight.
A domestric quarrel is said to have led up to the shooting, which took place in front of a pool room operated by Parrott. Parrott was shot five times, dying instantly.
Parrott and his wife, who was Dr. Shaw's half-sister, separated some time ago, it was stated, Mrs. Parrott keeping their child. The father, a few weeks later, is alleged to haae stolen the child and kept it until today when Mrs. Parrott went to his home and took it away, it was learned.
An eye witness to the shooting is said to have stated that Dr. Shaw was passing the poolroom when he was hailed by Parrott and accused of taking the child. The firing began almost immediately, he said.
Both men were well known in Bishopville. Dr. Shaw is about 32 years of age. Parrott is about the same age.

Notes: Blanche Parrott Olson passed away in Orlando, Florida on March 25, 2018 at 88 years of age, surrounded by her loving family. Blanche was born on August 24, 1929 in Kinston, North Carolina to Frank Dibble Parrott and Nancy Wade Parrott. She grew up on the family farm along with her namesake Aunt Blanche, her cherished Aunt Willie, her eccentric Uncle Harlow, her brother David, and numerous farm workers, friends, and family who have predeceased her but whose love and support she cherished throughout her life. "In the hot summer haze we children \endash black, white, clean or tobacco-stained \endash sat on the long front porch and listened to the endless tales of Shakespeare Uncle Harlow told. We made up stories, poems, and plays of our own, acting in them, climbed ladders to give stirring speeches and relived the cowboy movies faithfully attended for 10 cents each Saturday. Sometimes we youngsters stayed at the tobacco barn where the 'hands' skillfully looped and wound green fistfuls of broad, sticky tobacco leaves along twine onto slender sticks \endash the workers all the while relating tales and gossip so far removed from my own knowledge and environment."
Blanche, known as Pinky to many, graduated from Granger High School and at age 16 began her studies at Greensboro Women's College (now UNC-Greensboro). As a junior she transferred to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, which was required of women at the time. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Education in 1950 and a Master of Education in 1962 from UNC. She was a lifelong Carolina fan, and enjoyed watching basketball games up until the time of her death.
As a young teacher in the late 1950s Blanche taught in small town North Carolina, New York City, and New Orleans, where she lived an exciting life in the French Quarter. Blanche eventually sought bigger and bolder challenges, and became a teacher for the Department of Defense. She lived and taught in Morocco for many years where she had numerous adventures, the memories of which stayed with her always. With the full cooperation of the U.S. Air Force and the Crescent Rouge, Blanche became a liaison between American and Moroccan children. She spearheaded an initiative in which American children visited and helped in local schools and orphanages, learned Arabic, and invited Moroccans for fun days and playing the "strange game of baseball." It was in Morocco that Blanche was also reconnected after years apart with her childhood friend from the farm Gladys, when she realized that her student Earl was Gladys's son. After raising her children on stories of locust swarms on school buses and driving an old jalopy to Agadir, she was happy to be able to share the medina of Marrakesh and the beaches of Casablanca with her daughters years later.
As a child in the 1930s and 1940s, Blanche made trips with her family to southern Florida and always passed through the town of Winter Park. When Blanche eventually married, she remembered the beauty of Winter Park and decided to move there to start and raise her family. She taught for Orange County Public Schools for over 30 years, including teaching at the old Park Avenue, Webster, Chickasaw, and Fern Creek Elementary Schools. She was instrumental in integrating the school system in central Florida, and volunteered to teach at one of Orange County's first crossover schools. At the time of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s assassination, Blanche was "the only white person above grade three \endash student or teacher. No special help or protection was given but we were all there doing our jobs. I still have the essays the children wrote about their feelings that day." Many of her students have kept in touch with Blanche throughout the years.
As her children grew older and Blanche eventually retired, she continued to pursue her passions for travel and civic involvement. For years she would spend the month of October at American University in Paris, and also traveled to Israel, the Netherlands, and Canada. She was active in the Daughters of the American Revolution, the First Congregational Church of Winter Park, the University Club of Winter Park, Friendship Force, Alpha Delta Kappa, the Orange County Retired Teachers Association, and the Moroccan Reunion Association. She co-chaired the Restoration Advisory Board during the decommissioning of the Orlando Naval Training Center, which became the Baldwin Park community. Notably, the group was given the 2006 Phoenix Award, which honors individuals and groups who are working to solve the critical environmental challenge of transforming blighted areas into productive new uses.
In an autobiography Blanche said, "What are my greatest contributions to the teaching profession in the last years? Love of the classics, a window on the world correspondence program, plays and journals \endash but foremost an acceptance and appreciation for each student and what he brings to the school family."
Blanche is survived by hundreds of students she has taught over the years, her daughter Aimée Merriman (Rick) of Orlando; son Frank Olson (Lira) of Roswell, GA; daughter Sigrid Olson of Montpelier, VT; brother David Parrott (Carol) of Savannah, GA; grandsons Brett Merriman, Matthew Merriman, Henry Lumbra, and Ray Olson; and granddaughter March Lumbra. There will be a celebration of life at the First Congregational Church of Winter Park at 11:00 a.m. on April 21, 2018.
In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to the The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research.

462. Lawrence Alonzo Parrott Jr. (Lawrence Alonza Sr.7, Joseph Napoleon6, James Lamb (Rev.)5, Benjamin Belk Sr.4, John Benjamin Sr.3, Jacob2, Francis1) was born on 8 Sep 1936 in Florence Co., South Carolina and died on 14 Dec 1998 in Florence Co., South Carolina, at age 62.
Notes: Newcomers in Dothan
Most peple pay their bills without being asked; som take their time; but one in 10, according to Lawrence Parrott, has every intention of trying to get something for nothing.
Parrott, who has just moved here with his family from Augusta, Ga., is well-qualified to make observations on credit habits of the buying public. He is manager of the Credit Bureau of Dothan, affiliated with about 2,500 similar groups in the nation.
The 26-year-old bureau manager is a native of Cherry Grove Beach, S.C., where he formed a deep attachment to fishing. (In Dothan, his fishing-neighbor is Harry Crine, who lives just back of the Parrott home at 1996 Sullivan Dr.)
Met In Manning. Mrs. Parrott, the former Jean Mahoney, is a native South Carolinian, too, and was born and reared in Manning, where the couple first met.
Married five years ago when Parrott was still attending colleg - "She put me through school." he said - the newcomers lived first in Charleston, S.C., then Augusta, Ga., before moving here.
With a major in economics, he was graduated from Presbyterian College, Clinton, S.C., in 1960. He's been associated with the Retail Credit Co. ever since, and was assistant manager of its Augusta office before coming to Dothan.
Mrs. Parrott is a registered nurse, received her nursing diploma at Toumey Hospital in Sumter, S.C., shortly after getting her wedding band.
Woke To Ocean Scene. Parrott said of his native home, "I used to wake up each morning to the sight of the ocean." His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Parrott, Sr., have retained their beach home and live at an inland farm part of the year.
Speaking of the American public's credit buying habits, Parrott said that his experience - and talks with other credit bureau managers - have led him to this conclusion: Seven out of 10 credit buyers pay their bills promptly; about two in 10 need prompting; and the remaining one in 10 buys on credit with the idea of trying to avoid payment.
This is the buyer who keeps him in business, he said, since it's always hard to tell which credit applicant will not keep his bargain.
The newcomers have two children, and are expecting a third "any day now." As matter of fact, the Parrotts have been waiting...and waiting.
Unaware of the tension building up in the household are the Parrott's youngest, 18-month-old Michael, called Mike by his parents; and Larry, 3.
A neighbor has agreed to keep the children while Mrs. Parrott is in the hospital. Such kindnesses as this, the couple said, have made their life in Dophan pleasant.

+ 704 M ii. James Dennis Parrott was born on 18 Dec 1950 in Miami, Dade Co., Florida and died on 14 Apr 2021 in Melbourne, Brevard Co., Florida, at age 70.
705 M iii. Carl Randolph Parrott was born on 14 Jun 1952 in Miami, Dade Co., Florida and died on 12 Apr 1990 in Broward Co., Florida, at age 37.
Notes: Carl Randolph Parrott, a Miami native and founder of Ballet Randoph, died Thursday in Davie of complications from AIDS. He was 37.
After a long career dancing Europe and in modern dance and ballet companies in Florida, Mr. Parrott founded Ballet Randoph in March of 1988. For nearly two years, the troupe had been one of the few venues where modern dancers in Miami could perform in traditional modern dance style in a professional style.
"He had a phenomenal imagination. He had a sense of magic. He liked to create magic," said Gerard Ebitz, associate artistic director of the company and a frequent choreographer for it. "Randy was really special. He made a lot of people believe in themselves. He accepted people with their faults and made the most of it."
As a dancer, Mr. Parrott had a clean balet and modern technique and a special flair for comedy. He danced briefly with the New Jersey Ballet, then migrated to Germany where he danced with the Municipal Dance Companies of Bonn and Oldenburg and with the Dusseldorf Ballet. After five years in Germany, he returned to Florida and danced with Florida Ballet at Jacksonville, Southern Ballet Theater and Miamic choreographer Mary Luft. In 1985, he received a choreography fellowship from the Florida Arts Council.
As a choreographer, Mr. Parrott tackled many of the big scores - among them Stravinsky's Le Sacre du Printemps and Petrushka, Ravel's Bolero, Moussorksky's Pictures at an Exhibition. Some of his most engaging pieces were comic - including the wacky Apassionata, a Walter Mitty-like fantasy that took off on the imaginings of a nerd in plaid shorts.
Mr. Parrott also was an inventive costume designer, conceiving and executing most of the costumes not only for his work but also for the work of other local choreographers.
One of the 12 children, Mr. Parrott was born in Miami June 14, 1952. After learning that his high school classmate, Ebitz, was studying ballet, he began ballet lessons at the age of 18 with Thomas Armour at the Miami Conservatory. Mr. Parott had studied for only nine months when he was offered a scholarship by world-reknowned dance teacher David House in New York City. After studying at the Joffrey Ballet School, he landed his first job at the New Jersey Ballet.
Mr. Parrott is survived by his father, Clay H. Parrott Sr., five brothers, six sisters, and 21 nephews and nieces.
Cremation will be private at Stanfill Funeral Home in South Miami. A Memorial service will be held at 4 p.m. April 22 at 225 N. Hibiscus Drive, Hibiscus Island, Miami Beach. The family requests that in lieu of flowers, donations be sent to Ballet Randolph, 7136 Bonita Dr., Apt. 2, Miami Beach, 33141.

KINSTON - Hettie Mae Andrews Parrott, 87, passed away Saturday January 5, 2008 at Lenoir Memorial Hospital, following complications from pneumonia. She was born May 4, 1920, in Duplin County, to the late James and Alma Andrews. At age 16, she left the family farm to attend nursing school at City Hospital in Winston-Salem, N.C., which was quite an adventure for a young girl who had never ventured more than 30 miles from her home, had never seen a telephone, or ridden on a public conveyance, such as a bus. When she was asked what gave her the courage to venture so far, Mrs. Parrott always said it was her desire to help people and to see more of life than what was available on the farm. After graduation Mrs. Parrott worked in Petersburg, Virginia and at Rex Hospital in Raleigh, N.C., where, among her other duties, she served as acting director of nurses for a short time during WWII. As an employee of Lenoir Memorial Hospital in Kinston for more than 30 years, Mrs. Parrott worked in several supervisory positions, but her true love was always the Emergency Room. After her retirement in 1992, Mrs. Parrott was honored on more than one occasion for her untiring commitment to the citizens of Lenoir County. She is survived by sons John A.

Notes: Nancy Matthis Parrott joyfully joined her husband, Seth W. "Hap" Parrott on April 3rd, 2022. She was peaceful and suffered no pain.
She was a member of the Beech Grove United Methodist Church family for many years. Her greatest accomplishment was her devotion to serving the Lord by ministering to those who were incarcerated. She served in a ministry with KAIROS at NCCIW in Raleigh, NC. She taught the message of God's love and forgiveness to those women imprisoned there and served the women on death row, teaching that God was a loving, forgiving God.
When she was no longer able to travel the distance, she served the Lord through Yokefellow Ministry at Craven Correction Facility in Vanceboro, NC. She was engaged in bible study with the inmates there teaching the word of God and spreading the news that all who asked could be forgiven. She felt that those who suffered most needed understanding, kindness, and most of all the love only our Lord could provide.
She was blessed in many ways… with friends, family, and the assurance of God's love. She will truly be missed.
She is survived by her daughters, Regina Parrott Wheeler and son-in-law, Stephen C. Wheeler, Jr., Elizabeth P. Davis, and son-in-law, Jimmy Davis; son, Leon Joseph Parrott and daughter-in-law, Karen Parrott; grandchildren, Edwin Seth Parrott, Carissa D. Osborn and husband, Matt Osborn, Melina A.D.

At the age of 12 he accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior, was baptized and joined the Methodist Church. He attended high school in Collins, Ga during the Great Depression. He worked as a gas station attendant, a ?drugstore cowboy? and in the CCC until he entered South Georgia College in Douglas, GA.

Valdosta Daily Times, 21 June 2013
================================
HAHIRA \emdash When Dr. Jesse Parrott's eyesight started to go some years ago and he could no longer see well enough to drive his car, he took to driving around Hahira in his golf cart, creating a trend in the community. Today, they're everywhere in the city, but at the time, if you saw a golf cart, chances were it was Dr. Parrott and his dog.
If his wife Nancy of 57 years was with him, chances are it was behind the wheel of the family car, driving him to one of the many meetings and events he still attended, long after he had closed his thriving practice and retired.
On Friday, June 21, Dr. Parrott lost his battle with cancer and passed away at the age of 94. He leaves a legacy of service to community and country that likely will never be surpassed.
When Jesse Parrott was a teenager, his family relocated to the area for his father's teaching job. It was the Depression-era, and jobs were hard to come by, so he joined the Navy and served. Following his service, he returned to Hahira and Dr. Raymond Smith, the namesake of Smith Hospital in Hahira and now Smith Northview Hospital in Valdosta, saw potential and funded his way through medical school.
Jesse returned to Hahira and practiced medicine, enjoying life as a single man. He managed to stay that way for a number of years, until a certain Miss Nancy Wainer came along. She developed a crush on him, despite their 16-year age difference, when she was in her teens, and she finally "caught" him after time away in Athens at college.
She was 20, he was 36 when they tied the knot on April 23, 1955. At the time, he was not only a very busy physician, he was also the city's mayor. He served as Mayor of Hahira twice, from 1955-58 and from 1987-93.
In an interview years ago, when asked why he wanted to serve as mayor when he was so very busy with his medical practice and young family, Dr. Parrott
answered that someone had to. Nancy also served as a member of the Hahira City Council for a few years as well. The couple were as dedicated to their small community as they were each other.
Dr. Parrott also once remarked that he had delivered pretty much every adult born since WWII in Hahira. He may have been jesting, but it wasn't far from the truth, as he delivered thousands of children over the years.
Even after closing his practice in the 1980s, he continued to work and volunteer, never being able to sit still for long. The Parrotts always enjoying spending time with their two sons, Jonathan and Stephen, and their six grandchildren. Son Jonathan is a physician in Valdosta.
Several years ago, the Times ran an interview with the Parrotts about their secret to staying married \emdash happily married \emdash for so many years, and the answer was simply that you have to work on it. They called it "making a pleasant effort."
Their pleasant effort not only brought them great joy together for many years, but also brought joy to many others through their inspiration and dedication to everyone and everything around them. Just being with the Parrotts would put a smile on your face.
Dr. Jesse Parrott will be missed by family, friends, patients, the city of Hahira and all those whose lives he touched in any number of ways.
Valdosta Daily Times, 22 Jun 2013

=====================
Nancy Parrott - Hahira's 'first lady' a friend to all
HAHIRA - Even in the years after her late husband stopped being this Lowndes County town's mayor, Nancy Parrott remained the first lady of Hahira until her passing last weekend.
She was known for her smile, her wit, her grace and her always having a kind word. She never saw station. She saw people.
She died Sunday. She was 80 years old.
Meeting Dr. Jesse L. Parrott many decades ago, Nancy Wainer believed she had seen the most wonderful man in the world, according to a 2009 interview with Valdosta Scene magazine.
He was a handsome physician and considered by many to be one of the county's most eligible bachelors. He often tooled around Hahira and Valdosta with the top down in a red convertible.
Nancy Wainer was crazy about him, though Jesse Parrott didn't know it. And the feeling wasn't immediately reciprocated.
Nancy Wainer was a girl, a young teenager, dating a boy who was the nephew of Dr. Parrott. She was introduced to the physician as "Uncle Jesse," a man 16 years her senior, but every time she saw Jesse Parrott, Nancy Wainer's heart raced.
Once, the physician joked with her: "When are you going to grow up and be my sweetheart?"
"He was just teasing," she recalled years later. "He didn't know, but he was setting my heart on fire."
He didn't know either that in a few years, his jest would become prophesy.
Jesse and Nancy Parrott were married 59 years, until his passing in 2013. They raised two sons, Jonathan and Stephen, and had six grandchildren.
He practiced medicine for decades in Hahira, at the former Smith Hospital, and continued seeing patients into his late 60s, until macular degeneration affected his eyesight and he closed the practice in 1984. He then volunteered with detox patients for more than a dozen years.
She was involved deeply in the community and the region.
They were both involved in the politics of the community. She was the first woman elected to the Hahira City Council. He served as Hahira's mayor from 1955-58 and again from 1987-93.
He was serving his first term as mayor when they were married on April 23, 1955.
What had been a jest about Nancy Wainer growing up to be his sweetheart became a reality when she did grow up and, Jesse Parrott said in 2009, "I thought she was cute."
Nancy was away at college and he came to Athens to visit her. She was in her late teens and he was in his early 30s.
"Many of the Valdosta girls asked me," she said, "'Why are you dating that old man?'"
They told an anecdote well crafted through the years of how he had once regularly cruised through the college as a young man, looking at the girls, and he knew it was time to stop when the girls started calling him "sir."
So, Jesse and Nancy met again. She older and away at school, except for weekends when she returned to her Valdosta home, where she grew up the daughter of Dave and Emma Burnet Wainer. Soon, those weekends home involved visiting with Jesse Parrott.
They dated for about a year before Jesse proposed in December and they were married in April in Valdosta's First United Methodist Church. He was 36. She was 20.
Married, she left school, which created another anecdote, a family joke, that she married so she wouldn't have to take a physical-science class. But the real work had begun. As a physician, the couple had to catch time when they could.
She credited her mother's example and advice as helping her in those early years of adjusting to marriage. Her father was a Valdosta contractor. Her mother advised she be patient with her husband; as a doctor, his was a serious job with long hours and he would come home tired and need comfort.
She managed this feat without losing her independence and individuality.
She worked the house and raised the boys, with all of them making time together around the demands of his practice and the hospital. Every Thursday was date night for Jesse and Nancy.
They kept a balance of independence and dependence. They each had their own interests and duties, which sustained them when apart, but they were united when together.
"Couples need to do a lot of praying and stick with the marriage," she said. "You can't quit. You have to work at it." Nancy Parrott's funeral service is scheduled for today.

Notes: October 13, 1924 - December 1, 2016
Milton Harman Parrott, 92, of San Marcos passed into eternity on Dec. 1, 2016. Harman was born on Oct 13, 1924, to Frank Norton Parrott and Ola Rivers Harman Parrott in Waco, TX. His arrival on earth came at the start of an era known as the Greatest Generation. Harman graduated from Waco High School in May 1941. His generation experienced the full brunt of The Great Depression as he wore flour sack underwear as a boy which were hand-sewn by his mother. "If you could rub two nickels together, you were rich," was a saying of his from those times.
When the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, all he wanted from life was to get a pair of wings and fly in the US Air Force like his older brother, A.W "Dub" Parrott. Harman enlisted in the Air Force in 1942 and his dream of having his older brother pin his wings on him came true on Feb 1, 1945 at Luke Airfield outside Phoenix. Captain AW Parrott, by then a highly decorated B-17 pilot, flew in for his ceremony and entered onto the stage to pin Harman's wings. His Advanced orders came and he was assigned to a P-51 squadron. VJ Day came before his squadron was shipped to Okinawa. His squadron, along with millions of US servicemen, were spared from invading Japan's mainland. His two most remembered quotes about his Air Force days were, "I received free room and board and drew over $200 a month in pay to fly the hottest fighter plane ever made. It was the best job I ever had," and most notable, a Yogi Berra-ish type quote, "If Harry hadn't dropped the Big One on the Japs, there would be a lot of grandchildren running around here without grandpas today."
Harman's military service ended after VJ Day and on the GI Bill, he enrolled at the University of Texas where he joined the PKA Fraternity. While working no less than 3 jobs at any time and with the assistance received from the GI Bill, he worked his way through university and received his Bachelor's and Law Degree from UT. In 1949, he met the one true love of his life, Melba Jo Powell of San Antonio, while on a Saturday night quadruple couples car date and they wed on September 1, 1950. After graduation from UT Law School, he was employed in San Antonio as the Assistant Attorney General of the US Western District. In 1953, Harman & Melba moved to Houston where he practiced law with MacGregor, Sewell, Junnell and Riggs (known today as Gardere Law) for over 25 years. Harman and Melba were active during their Houston years with the Stehlin Foundation Cancer Fighters, Spring Branch Presbyterian Church, and the City of Hedwig Village just to name a few.
Harman and Melba were residents in Fair Oaks Ranch/Boerne, TX for 27 years before moving to San Marcos in 2010. He is survived by his loving wife of 66 years, Melba Powell Parrott; 3 children, Susan Parrott, Linda Parrott, and Frank Parrott and wife Norma Randall Parrott, all of San Marcos; and two grandchildren, Michael of Allentown, PA and Lena Ann Parrott of Austin.
A Memorial Service will be held Saturday, December 10, 2016, at 3:00 p.m. at Ebensberger-Fisher Funeral Home. A reception will follow immediately at the Fair Oaks Ranch Country Club outside of Boerne. The family asks in lieu of flowers that donations be made to Methodist Children's Home in Waco, TX (www.mch.org), a 501c3 Harman was very proud to support. Arrangements with Ebensberger-Fisher Funeral Home of Boerne.

Milton married Melba Jo Powell on 1 Sep 1950. Melba was born on 20 Oct 1929 in Floresville, Wilson Co., Texas and died on 10 May 2022 in Boerne, Kendall Co., Texas, at age 92.
Notes: BOERNE \endash Melba Jo Parrott passed into eternity on May 10, 2022 at her apartment in Menger Springs community in Boerne. She was in the loving presence of her 3 children and her steadfast care givers. Melba was born Oct 20, 1929 in Floresville, TX to Eddie Lee and Melba Powell. She was preceded in death by her husband of 66 years, Harman Parrott of Waco, TX. She is survived by her 3 children; Linda Parrott of San Antonio, Susan Parrott of San Marcos, Frank Parrott and his wife, Norma, of Austin. Melba is also the proud grandmother of two, both children of Frank \endash Michael Brooks Parrott and Lena Ann Parrott. Melba has one sibling, her younger sister Jeannine Shold. Jeannie and her husband Duke reside in Port Hadlock, WA.
Melba was born 9 days before "Black Tuesday", the day of the stock market crashed in 1929 which was the start of The Great Depression. As a Depression era child, she recalled living a simple childhood. Her parents relocated to San Antonio early in her life upon her father, Eddie Lee nicknamed "Froggy", accepting a job with Alamo Lumber Company. Melba spent alot of her adolescence riding a bicycle around dirt roads in Floresville and visiting with her many relatives there on weekends. She delighted in being chauffeured around her family's former neighborhoods in San Antonio where she would point out the movie theater she went to as an elementary school student or where the local drugstore was in the Woodlawn area of the 1930s . She told the story of how her mother enjoyed fishing in Woodlawn Lake and would cook up her stringer of fish for the family dinner.
Melba attended Thomas Jefferson High School and was quick to tell a new acquaintance where she had graduated. She stayed an active member of her Graduation Class through their reunions. She often spoke of the glorious azaleas and rose bushes that lined the walkways of Jefferson High. Her class was an extraordinary group of individuals who fought in wars, became leaders in local and national companies and mothers that raised many of the Baby Boomers that shaped America into the preeminent world power.
After graduation from Jefferson, Melba attended Stephens College in Columbia, Missouri, a small all-girls school which has educated & empowered many women in its long history. It was at Stephens where Melba met Maggie Kimball Jarrat and began a 75 year long friendship with her dearest friend. She transferred after 2 years to The University of Texas /Austin where she was a member of the ZTA sorority. During a quadruple date (yes, all in one car) she met her future husband, Harman, who was a PKA member enrolled at UT on the GI Bill after WWII. They married in San Antonio on September 1, 1950. After Harman graduated from UT Law School, they moved to San Antonio for a few years where he worked in the Federal District General Attorney's office before he was offered a position with a Houston law firm.
In Houston, Melba made many life-long friendships while she reared her family for 30 years in the Spring Branch-Memorial area.
Melba was cancer survivor three times in her life. She worked tireless and with cheer as a volunteer along with her husband at the Stehlin Foundation in Houston and was also one of the original 9 founding women of the Cancer Fighters of Houston in 1980.
Upon her husband's retirement, Melba and Harman moved back to her beloved San Antonio and settled in Fair Oaks Ranch where they lived for 25 years. Many of the neighbors on their street \endash Timbertop Drive- were retirees. Harman & Melba become part of a wonderful group of friends on Timbertop that loved and looked after each other. In 2010, they moved to San Marcos where they lived next door to their son and his wife for 10 years. In 2020, Melba moved back to the Boerne area and resided at Menger Springs.
The Parrott family wishes to express their sincere gratitude to many that were great friends and care givers to Melba especially in the past decade. It would be impossible to list them all, but the list would have to start with Ruby Martinez and her family along with the staff at Menger Springs and the care givers from HomeInstead/Boerne.
There will be a Celebration of Melba's Life gathering at The Kendall Inn event hall in Boerne on Saturday, June 4th at 2:00. The family is asking in lieu of flowers individuals please consider making a donation to: Cancer Fighters of Houston - P.O. Box 272641- Houston, TX 77277-61 or visit their website for ways to donate at: cfohtown.com.
