  • This family was started by two brothers, Bryant and William. It is one of the few African-American families that has records that predate the Civil War. Even so its origins are unclear, as the 1880 US census gives the birth place for Bryant as North Carolina, while the 1900 census gives it as South Carolina. His son Wesley's death certificate lists Bryant as being born in Darlington Co., South Carolina. SC census records have the brothers born in North Carolina. Today, the family is primarily identified with Darlington county in South Carolina. There are other African-American Parrott families in the 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.


    • DNA testing needed for this family. If you are a male from this line, sign up to get tested and thus help uncover its history and origins.
