One group of Parrotts, found primarily in central Kentucky and Virginia, traces its origin to Lawrence and Mary Perrott. Lawrence first appears in Northumberland Co., Virginia, on 10 July 1733, when "Kate a Negro girl belonging to Lawrence Parrot judgd to be Tenn years old" (Northumberland Co., Virginia. Order Book 3, 1729 - 1737; p 101).

Given his eldest son was born ca. 1732, Lawrence may have been born as early as 1700, or as late as 1712, almost certainly in Kingston Parish of Gloucester Co., Virginia, and died intestate by 9 May 1946 in Northumberland Co., when his estate was ordered appraised by the court. The inventory was submitted by Thomas Yerby, Chas. Copedge Jr. and Jessey Robinson on 13 April 1747, and was witnessed by Mary Parrot (Northumberland Co. Record Book 1743-49, page 197) thusly:

"This is a true and perfect inventory of the estate of Lawrence Parrot dec'd as yet came to my hands the meal & corn barley sufficient for the family."

The Parrott family lived in Wicomico parish. Few records have survived for Wicomico Parish. Lawrence appears in the vestry record for Wicomico Parish in Northumberland County on 2 August 1743, when it was ordered that Lawrence Parrott be one of the land processioners for the precinct. Two years later, Laurence Parrot was recorded as owing the parish £200 at a vestry meeting on 12 October 1745.

Lawrence and Mary had a son, William, who married Hannah Hughlett and gave birth to 2 daughters and 5 sons, who gave rise to the Parrotts of central Kentucky and Virginia. The link between Lawrence and William is established by Fillis, James, and Winney, slaves named in the property inventory of Lawrence. Phillis, James, and Winney later appear in the will of William Parrott, tying Lawrence to William. A son William is also named in the will of Mary Parrott, widow of Lawrence. Mary's maiden name has never been documented. For a discussion on the possibilities, see
https://p-rr-tt.org.uk/NA/Mary Howson.html

Besides the family farm, the Parrotts bought a grist mill off Knight's Run in 1763. See https://p-rr-tt.org.uk/NA/NA-Documents/Great Wicomico mill.jpg for more details on the location. The mill pond is still visible today.

They petitioned to build a second one in 1766. The Parrott farm was just south of the Great Wicomico River, near their mill on Knights Run, somewhere west of the Howsons, but east of Knight's Run. In turn, the Howson property was bounded by Fishing Creek (now Tipers Creek) on the east and the Lawrence Parrott property on the west. Today, after crossing the Great Wicomico, Jessie DuPont Memorial Highway runs parallel to Tipers Creek before the two finally intersect. The last records of the family in Northumberland are from the tax lists of the 1780's, when William Jr is still paying taxes on the family farm, before he follows his brothers and moves away. All in all the Parrotts were in Northumberland county for only about 50 years.

The first Lawrence
See: https://p-rr-tt.org.uk/NA/Gloucester documents.html

Lawrence most likely was the grandson of yet another Lawrence. John Singleton claimed a headright for this older Lawrence in Maryland in 1662. As headrights are currently understood (Kilby 2013), the only fact that can be inferred from this headright is that the elder Lawrence was in the Colonies by 1662. It does not mean that Lawrence was indentured to John Singleton-- headrights could be claimed on friends and relatives. Likewise, it does not mean that Lawrence arrived in 1662, or that John Singleton did the transportation-- the arrival in the colonies could have been years earlier, and John Singleton could have bought the headright from someone else.

This older Lawrence has been reported to have later sold headrights in Maryland in the 1660's and owned land in Baltimore, but no documentation has been found to support these claims.

The elder Lawrence did sell head rights in Virginia, receiving 137 acres adjoining the land in Kingston Parish of Gloucester county. This land was adjacent to that of Col. Rich'd. Dudley, Capt. Armestead and Wm. Beards, and was received in exchange for 4 headrights on 26 September 1678 (Mathews Co., Bk 6, p 660). He received 203 acres joining to Gwynns Ridge 23 October 1690, adjoining land of Col. John Armested and Mr. Roberts, for 5 headrights, bringing his total acreage up to 340 (Mathews Co., Bk 8, p 98). He paid taxes accordingly in 1704. Gwynns Ridge still exists, being known today as Ridge Road or State Route 626 in Mathews county, Virginia (Kingston Parish became Mathews county in 1791). Thus, the Parrott lands would be to the north or northeast of the current town of Foster, on the eastern side of Gwynn's Ridge, today known as Ridge Road or state highway 626. See:

https://p-rr-tt.org.uk/NA/Gloucester documents.html
for a description of this location.

In 1692, he was paid 30 lbs of tobacco (The vestry book of Kingston Parish, Mathews County, Virginia), page 10, and was still alive in 1704, when he appears on the quit rent roll for Kingston Parish.

The destruction of all Gloucester County records in an 1820 fire has made it very difficult to research Lawrence, though a few records survive from other counties. Lawrence Parrott co-paid a £400 security bond in 1704 in Richmond County on behalf of Margarett Bronaugh, widow of Richard Cary. These actions suggest Richard Cary died intestate; given the widow was the executrix, Margarett, would have had to post a bond equal in value to the worth of the estate. Such bonds were normally provided by the widow's relatives, suggesting a Parrott-Bronaugh relationship.

Family Branches
See: https://p-rr-tt.org.uk/NA/Lawrence group.html for links to the family branches

Besides Lawrence of Northumberland, this elder Lawrence had other descendants; several Parrotts were still living in the region when Mathews county started keeping tax records in 1791. More immediately, Michael Parratt obtained 110 acres adjoining the land of Lawrence Parrott, Captn. Todd, Captn. Knowles & Captn William Armistead, for 3 headrights on 20 October 1704. (Mathews Co. Bk 9, p 615). Richard Parrett received 43 acres beginning at a corner gum of Captn. Ambrose Dudley standing at the south end of the chesnut ridge. & adjoining Lawr. Parrott, George Burgis, and Charles Jones, for 1 headright on 16 June 1714 (Mathews Co. Bk 10, p 127).

Michael might also be an ancestor of Benjamin Parrott. Benjamin's descendants are the second branch of the this Parrott family, as DNA testing has also shown this line is related to the descendants of Lawrence, though the relationship to them is unknown. Benjamin appears in Guilford (later Rockingham) Co., North Carolina first on 18 August 1778 when he obtained a land grant for 500 acres on both sides of Wolf Island Creek. This grant is part of the land which Benjamin Parrott, Sr. sold to his son Abner on 9 May 1789. Benjamin named his daughter Michal.

Another Lawrence is found in the records in nearby Middlesex county (Book 7, p 155, 3 March 1740/1): "John Sanders vs Lawrence Parrott, Trespass on the Case. This day came the Plaintiff by his Attorney and saith that he will not further persecute his said suit against the said Deft. Therefore it is considered by the Court that the same be dismist." There are no known descendants of this Lawrence.

Yet another entry (p 174, dated 1 Sept 1741) relates to a suit between William Robinson and William Hackney, the administrator of Patrick Parrott, deced. "Petition Dismissed for reasons to the Court appearing." Thus, Patrick was probably another son of Lawrence. Based on dates and locations, Patrick or Michael are the more likely candidates to be the father of the Lawrence who appears in Northumberland Co.

A third family branch can be traced back to Robert and Sarah Reade Parrott. Robert was born in 1770 in Kingston Parish, Gloucester, reinforcing the idea that some of the elder Lawrence's family stayed there. Robert's descendants are primarily in Arkansas and Oklahoma.

A fourth branch starts with William Parrott, b 1814 in Georgia. His descendants are mainly in Louisiana. The generations prior to William still need to be determined.

It is not known how long the Parrotts lasted in Kingston Parish, but is was probably over a century. The family comprised by these 4 branches is the second largest Parrott family in the USA today, and accounts for about 1 out of every 10 Parrotts.

In addition, there is a John Neville, born ca 1662, who had property near the Parrotts and Careys. Today, the DNA of John's descendants is indistiguishable from the Parrott DNA. Thus John Neville was related to Lawrence Perrott, and may have even been a son of Lawrence.


Family origins
The whereabouts of the first Lawrence prior to arriving in the Colonies remains a mystery. Assuming he had just become of age when he got transported, Lawrence was born ~1640, right on the eve of the English Civil War, when many records were destroyed. Had he or his father moved to or been born in London like so many of their contempories, any records would have been burned in the fire of London in 1666.

Lawrence and his family might have been in Barbados prior to moving to Virginia. The connection is made via the Duncan Bohannan and John Neville families, who owned land south and southwest of Lawrence in Kingston Parish. Duncan Bohannan married in St. Michael's Parish, Barbados, in 1658, prior to moving to Kingston Parish, which was established ~1752 in Gloucester Co.

Duncan Bohannan conveyed a 100-acre land grant in Kingston Parish, Gloucester, 26 March 1674/5 to John Neville, infant. The land had been previously sold to John's father.

Other records show that Nevilles and Parrotts were also in St. Michael's parish, Barbados, as Christ Church Parish. What has not been established is if the Perrotts of Barbados were related to Lawrence Parrott.

More on DNA
DNA testing reveals this Parrott family's DNA falls into a category called Anglo-Saxon type 1. This type of DNA has its highest concentrations in Scandinavia and the Netherlands, Belgium and Denmark. It is commonly associated with Anglo-Saxons (hence their name) and their descendants, namely the Vikings and the Normans.

DNA testing can also provide insights into relationships before surnames came into use. The family lineage split into two some 1200 years ago, with one branch giving rise to the Parrotts, while the other branch established the Hamilton clan of Scotland. More details are at https://p-rr-tt.org.uk/Y-DNA/family-b.shtml#ancestral

Other colonial Parrott families
How the first Lawrence and his descendants relate to other Parrotts in the US became apparent through a DNA project at https://p-rr-tt.org.uk/NA/index.shtml.

Prior to the advent of DNA testing, the picture of the early Parrott families of North America was simple, as exemplified in Links that Bind (1967) by Evalyn Parrott Scott. To this day, Links and the subsequent Parrott Talk remain the best compilation of information on the Parrott families. Given they frequently crossed paths with each other, married into the same families and used similar names, Evalyn Parrott Scott declared them to be 'Kinsman all." However, the previous and widely published assumptions that all the early Parrotts of Maryland, Virginia and the Carolinas were related to each other was disproved by DNA testing.

Anyone researching Lawrence on the Internet will find reports that Lawrence is related to one of the early Parrotts, Richard of Middlesex Co., Virginia, who was a member of the Virginia House of Burgesses, and a large landowner in Virginia, Maryland, and Delaware. Richard is said to be descended from the Pembrokeshire Perrot family of Wales and England; third-hand reports were that he used their coat of arms. Internet trees often claim that Lawrence was Richard's nephew, son of his brother, Robert. DNA results have now confirmed beyond doubt that Lawrence and Richard of Middlesex were not related. Most of the early reports were never true.

Likewise, there are additional completely unsubstantiated reports that a Francis and a Lawrence Parrott arrived in Maryland ca 1660, onboard the good ship, David, leading many to conclude that Francis and Lawrence were related. A generation later, a Lawrence Parrott appears in Northumberland Co., Virginia, and a Francis Parrott appears in the Bertie/Chowan precinct of North Carolina. DNA from their descendants confirms the two were not at all related.

Thus, the Parrott-Nevilles stand alone as a distinct family, easily distinguishable from all others by their DNA.

Mary, wife of Lawrence, remains an enigmatic character. Her maiden name remains unknown to this day, and has therefore been the subject of much speculation, summarized below her will.


MARY'S WILL:
Mary Parrott made her will 12 August 1749. (Northumberland County Wills and Orders of Administration, 1710-1749; Northumberland County Virginia Record Book No. 3, 1753-1756, page 244). It was probated 18 December 1755. North'd Co. Record Book # 10, 1753-56, page 244.

MARY'S MAIDEN NAME:
Neal F. Mears, a genealogist from Chicago who in 1935 was commissioned to do the genealogy for the Rhodam Yarrott McElroy, on the occassion of his graduation from the US Naval Academy, deduced that Mary's maiden name was Howson, based on a 1736 land division that took place between Richard Howson and Lawrence Parrott.

Woodie Brown Parrott gave an explanation of how Mears arrived at his conclusion, in a letter to Theodora M. Parrott, 14 Dec 1976:

"On April 21, 1736, three court-appointed commissioners returned a report to the Northumberland County court of their division of a tract of land between Richard Howson and Lawrence Parrott . It is very likely that this represented a partition of realty among tenants in common; a joint interest as such is created by co-heirs to a given parcel of real estate. Under the old English common law, of course, a woman held no property in her own legal entity separate and apart from that of her husband, during the husband's lifetime, and any legacy to which she was might have been entitled was always vested in the husband's name. Thus if Mary was a Howson before marriage and co-heir with Richard Howson, it is not unusual that Mary would not have been named in the estate partitioning."

Note that the land divided between Richard Howson and Lawrence Parrott most likely belonged originally to Capt Leonard Howson, grandfather of Richard:

Letter from Cyril Ray Parrott to Evalyn Parrott Scott, 16 May 1977

"have the information marshaled relating to John Hughlett, Adam Yarrett and the Northumberland County group, and can associate them with Lawrence Parrott remember the theory that Lawrence Parrott married Mary Brereton Howson [ Note: Cyril's theory is wrong. From Sharon Crawford, 20 Jan 2013: Mary Chambers md first Wm. Nutt 2nd. Thomas Brereton, then Leonard Howson Jr.] --- and no other way. I might add that basically their headrights were people having the same last names as those being transported into the Rappahannock River area of Lancaster County by William Yarrett , William Thatcher, Silvester Thatcher et ales. There are too many similarities for me to view it as a coincidence. I consequently think that they were related."

------------------------------
Furthermore, the use of the name "Rhodam" among Mary's descendants suggests that she was somehow related to the Howsons and their Rhodam ancestors. In addition, the presence of Howsons in Northumberland county may have been the reason why Lawrence moved there from Gloucester county.

However, no record has ever been found to document or verify the last name of Mary, wife of Lawrence. Hence, any relationship to the Howsons remains purely speculative. For more details, see https://tinyurl.com/MaryParrott

========
Biography of William Parrott, written by Woodie Brown Parrott, in a letter addressed to Maj. Evan H. Parrott, Jr., 21 August 1976, provided by Arland W. Benningfield. Updates by W Parrott on 11 July 2015:

"William Parrott Sr. was designated "Planter" as early as 1754. LINKS THAT BIND states that William was born in 1710, according to some family notes; however, I believe that the 1710 date is unsubstantiated and dubious. It may be in confusion with another William, who resided in Middlesex, who was born in 1712. At any rate, he was a man of some prominence by 1753, and in or before 1753, he married Hannah Hughlett.

"The 'Plantation' of William Parrott was located on Indian Creek in Northumberland, just inland from the Chesapeake Bay, not far from Lancaster County. It is likely that William inherited the 'plantation' from his parents, Lawrence Jr. and Mary Parrott. In my research in Northumberland, where deeds begin with early 1750's (four years after Lawrence Jr's death), I see no indication of William adding to the initial Parrott holdings. The 'plantation,' as referred to in William's will, probably included approximately 400-500 acres*. One does not find the sweeping plantations in Virginia's eastern counties, as were commonly to be found in more westerly areas of the state, except, perhaps, for a few members of the 'gentry' class.

"In addition to owning a substantial amount of land for his area and his time, William Parrott Sr. was also a business man. William Parrott and Richard Taylor bought a water-powered mill located in Northumberland County from Joseph Nutt**, which May 11, 1765, became Parrott's sole possession. That is to say, Taylor sold Parrott his 50% interest in the grist mill, thereby making William Parrott the sole proprietor. The deed refers in detail to this mill property, which included land, houses, mill dam, a mill pond, streams, water courses, ways, easements, profits, also the tools, utensils, & furniture incidental to the operation.

"In the 1760's***, William Parrott, and his wife's brother-in-law, William Davenport, petitioned the Northumberland County authorities for permission to construct a mill on Knight's Swamp, apparently being granted permission as requested. It appears to me that this mill was also constructed, operated as a partnership, and upon William Parrott Sr.'s death, the Parrott interest fell to William's second son, John Parrott. On September 15, 1780, John and his wife Frances conveyed this interest which John had inherited from his father to William Davenport.

"I would suspect that William Parrott Sr.'s slaves were divided between his farming operation and his mills. The names of the slaves were: Grace, James, Moses, Isaac, Jacob, Joshua, Hezekiah, Mark, Jeremiah, Solomon, Sam, Moses, Jane, Jemine, Phillis, Jue, Sue, Rose, Winny, Hannah, and Kate.

"May 8, 1758, William Parrott was awarded 225 pounds of tobacco for having testified on behalf of Judith Howson, plaintiff, versus George Payne Jr. which had required Parrott attending court for a period of nine days. (There is speculation that William Parrott may have been related to Judith Howson). In 1773, William was back in court, this time as a witness for John Knight, for which testimony Parrott received 150 pounds of tobacco.

"It is interesting to note the diversified routes taken by William Parrott Sr.'s children in emigrating from Northumberland and Indian Creek Homestead. William Parrott Jr., Charles Parrott and Elizabeth Parrott Shearman moved to Albermarle Co. in 1787 and in 1789-90 moved to Orange now Greene Co. The family prospered."

-------------------

* Existing records only support 300 acres, and they were not off Indian Creek, but rather south of the Great Wicomico. William Sr. and Hannah sold 50 acres to Swan Prichard in 1753. William Jr inherited the land as per his father's will. This land is listed as being 250 acres when Land Taxes started to be collected in in 1782.

Biography of William Parrott
1 April 1976, Greene Co., VA Record submitted by Woodie B. Parrott to Eugene Powell.

"Although Greene County did not become a political entity until some fifty-eight years after the close of the Revolutionary War, there were nevertheless several early county residents who were veterans of the Revolution. Among this group of early county elders was the first sheriff of Greene County, William Parrott.

"William Parrott was born in Northumberland County, Virginia, on January 30, 1754, the eldest son of William Parrott Sr. and Hannah Hughlett Parrott. His paternal ancestors are thought to have hailed from London, England, traveled through Maryland in 1662, and settled in Virginia by 1667. His mother, Hannah Hughlett Parrott, was a granddaughter of the Honorable John Hughlett Jr. of Northumberland County, who served in the Virginia House of Burgesses in the 1690's. (Liber 5, Folio 238, Maryland Hall of Records; NORTHUMBERLAND COUNTY WILLS & ADMINISTRATIONS, 1678-1713, p. 34.)

"On February 26, 1774, William Parrott married Judith Yerby, daughter of Thomas Yerby of Northumberland. Upon the death of his father, William Sr., in 1778, William Parrott inherited his father's Indian Creek Plantation* in Northumberland, and his proportional share of the many servants. (NTLD. CO. O. B. 1776-1780, pp. 434-436)

"From 1775 to October, 1781, William Parrott served on numerous tours of duty each year in the Revolutionary War as a member of the Northumberland County Militia. The primary objective of this service was to prevent the landing of the British who approached the Colony via the Chesapeake Bay.

"William Parrott served with his unit in Northumberland, Lancaster, and Gloucester Counties at various intervals during the year. In October of 1781, concurrent with the siege on Lord Cornwallis at Yorktown, William Parrott served with Capt. John Diggs in Gloucester County, where they fought Tarleton's forces. During this engagement, Parrott suffered a paralytic stroke. However, the Revolution was all but over at this time, and Parrott was not again called to service. (Deposition of William Parrott, Pension File No. S-10253, Department of Archives, Washington, D. C.)

"The close of the Revolutionary War was followed by one of the most severe economic depressions in the history of the United States. Between the economic pressures of that day, dreaded epidemics in the coastal areas, and the lure of westward expansion, the migrations to central Virginia and beyond became more pronounced in the last quarter of the 18th century. In 1787, between the months of January and October, William Parrott moved from their Indian Creek plantation to Albemarle County. In addition to his wife and children born to date, William's household now also included his sister, Elizabeth, and his youngest brother, Charles Parrott. (Incidentally, the Parrott homestead in Northumberland stood into the 20th century.**)

"In 1789 or 1790, William Parrott moved from Albemarle County to the Quinque vicinity, having made his first purchase there of 417 acres from Peter Rucker in 1789. (Orange Deed Bk. 19, p. 351) William Parrott's sister, Elizabeth Parrott, married George Shearman in Albemarle County in 1787, and they also moved to Orange (Greene) at this time, purchasing a 251 acre adjoining farm. Shearman, also a veteran of the Revolution, was a native of Lancaster County, as was another of their neighbors at Quinque, George Stephens Sr. The Parrott, Shearman, and Stephens families had close ties for many years.

"While William Parrott continued to buy real estate in the Quinque community, he became increasingly active in the affairs of Orange County. Orange County court records contain frequent references to William Parrott. On August 24, 1795, he was one of three processioners appointed by the court to procession a tract of land near the Albemarle County line. Oct. 26 of that year, again appointed a processioner. March 28, 1796, Parrott was one of three persons elected to be Overseers of the Poor of Orange County. Sept. 26, 1796, William Parrott qualifies as an overseer of the poor in the upper district of Orange (now Greene), and on the same date, is nominated and recommended by the court to be a Justice of Orange County. On October 24, 1796, William Parrott was sworn a Justice of the Orange County court, and on the following month, qualified as a Magistrate of Orange, and assumed that position. (Ref.: Orange County Order Book 3, pp. 319, 336, 366, 404, 408, 412, and 414.)

"William Parrott, Esq., had not only become a leading citizen in the county by the early 1820's, but had also acquired considerable wealth. He owned a plantation between Quinque and Stanardsville containing between 1,000 and 2,500 acres. As his three sons became of responsible ages, he gave each one a 200+ acre farm.

"On July 10, 1819, William Parrott was appointed High Sheriff of Orange County, which then also included Greene County, constituting an area of some 500 square miles. On August 23, 1819, Parrott was bonded for $50,000 as sheriff. (Orange Deed Bk. 28, page 432)

"William Parrott served two terms, each term then being one year in duration, as High Sheriff of Orange County. During his second term in that position, one of the most bizarre incidents of Orange County history occurred.

"In order to grasp the course of events in 1821, the reader is reminded that, at this point in history, the sheriff's office was not only more ceremonial, but also carried responsibilities which are not today associated with that position. For example, the sheriff was then the collector of the revenue. In 1821, there was a theft of the entire Orange County revenue for that year by the two deputy sheriffs, Thomas Sorrille and Philip C. Cave. (Ref.: Orange Deed Bk. 30, pp. 60-63). Since William Parrott was the superior, it was he who would be held accountable for the infidelity of his deputies. It would then be his legal right to recover his losses from his former Deputies.

"Events swiftly followed. The Commonwealth of Virginia filed suit against Sheriff Parrott in the General Court of Virginia for the full amount of the 1821 revenue. Even one of his considerable means was thus forced to succumb. In October of that year, William Parrott filed petition of his properties, and declared himself legally insolvent. The liquidation of his large estate ensued, an on Jan, 1, 1822, Parrott deeded 2,171 acres of land and 27 slaves to James M. Macon. The following year, Feb. 1823, Parrott placed an additional 417 acres, eight slaves etc. in trust. He thereby lost a personal fortune due to an act in which he had personally committed no impropriety and in which his personal veracity was apparently never called to question. Parrott continued to serve as a Justice. (References on liquidation of William Parrott's estate Orange Co. Deed Book 30, page 24 and Orange Deed Book 35, pp. 118-120)

"On April 26, 1823, recorded in Orange Deed Book 30 at pages 60-63, Thomas Sorrille and Philip C. Cave. Respectively placed nearly all of their personal assets in trust to William Parrott to secure repayment of the 1821 Orange County revenue, interest, and the legal expense which Sheriff Parrott had encountered as a result of their grand larceny. Reynolds Chapman was trustee.

"For nearly a decade following the aforesaid scandal, there was a long procession of court cases, suits and counter-suits, between the former High Sheriff and former deputies, and their respective bondsmen.

"In 1826, William Parrott requested Chapman's foreclosure on the 1823 bond of Thomas Sorrille for nonpayment. Accordingly, all that property which Sorrille had placed in trust was sold in front of James G. Blakey's Tavern in Stanardsville. William Parrott purchased all of Sorrille's property through his attorney-in-fact at the sale, Woodson Parrott. William Parrott thus acquired a tract of 9,675 acres of mountain land, being one half of a tract owned jointly with Thomas Barbour, lots in Stanardsville, and four shares in the Turnpike Company. As for the other deputy, Philip C. Cave, he was indicted for murder, but later acquitted, in Greene County court in June, 1842.

"On June 30, 1832, William Parrott filed for his pension for having served in the Revolutionary War, for which service he had never been paid. On Feb. 28, 1833, William's brother, Charles Parrott, died at his Quinque home, leaving three large farms in Albemarle and Greene and a staff of forty-eight servants. (Orange Co. Will Bk. 8, appr. of Charles Parrott Estate.)

"The formation of Greene County in 1838 was achieved only after a prolonged struggle and heated debate. On May 21, 1838, according to Greene public records, a commission from the Governor of Virginia appointed William Parrott to be the first sheriff of Greene County. On June 14, 1838, William Parrott, James Beadles, William Sims, Elijah K. Davis, and Thurman Davis signed the $30,000 performance bond. William Parrott, 84 years old, thus became the first High Sheriff of Greene County, and apparently served his term with less tumult than typified his second term in Orange County.

"William Parrott continued to serve as a Greene County Justice until he was at least 96 years old, and perhaps longer. The Revolutionary War soldier, "Planter High Sheriff of Orange, High Sheriff of Greene, Justice, and magistrate - William Parrott - died in Greene County in 1855 at the age of 101 years."

**This claim was made by the same person who claimed the Parrott lands were on Indian Creek, and lacks substantiation.

[Web master's note: Judith would have been present because her husband, William, and brother in law, John, also marched off with Thomas Gaskins]

This is to certify that I was present when Thomas Coppedge now a resident of the County of Amherst in the State of Virginia, marched as an enlisted soldier in the spring of 1776 in the minute service under Captain Thomas Gaskins in the County of Northumberland; This affiant understood that said Coppedge enlisted for two years and served out that time complete. She well recollects a verse sung by said Coppedge the moment orders were given to march, which are the following, Viz.

"Awake, rouse your courage, Americans brave
For freedom to fight, and we will never be slaves,
Tho' Great Britain's subject we are willing to be
Yet Britons must know, we love to be free."

And further this affiant saith not. Given under my hand this 9th day of April 1833.

The following paragraph is based on one from Northumberland Genealogical Society notes, but updated and corrected with more recent information. The original is error-riddled:

Ensign John Parrott (Pension S8932) of Virginia was born 27 Apr 1756 in Northumberland Co., Va. and died 27 Nov 1840 in Green Co., Kentucky, when he was visiting his son who had moved there, but he was a resident of Louisa Co., Virginia. He was married to 1) Franky, 2) Frances Yerby Peede, and 3) Christina Hardesty. That much is proven a pair of lawsuits whereby his son-in-law sues him over the use of slave, and then John turns around and sues his son-in-law in return.

John and his older brother joined the Minutemen militia of Northumberland county in 1776. John was assigned to guard the salt works in Chesapeake Bay for a year under Captain Heath. He was discharged, married, and moved to the neighboring county of Lancaster. There he was called upon to join the militia again, and served, rising to the rank of ensign, until the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown.

He moved to Loudoun Co., Va., then to Louisa County where he resided. Cir 1836, John went to Kentucky to move with his son William R., and died there, ca 1840. His children were: William R. Parrott of Green (became Taylor) county, Ky.; Frances Parrott Williams, moved to Hancock Co., Ky; George Parrott of Orange Co., Va.; Samuel H. Parrott of Louisa Co., Va. (Ended up moving to St. Louis, Mo.); Harriett Parrott married Wm. Groom, Louisa Co., Va.; Melvina Parrrott married James Ranson and moved to Kansas; Mary Parrott Locker, Louisa Co., Va.; Juliet Parrott, Clarissa Parrott Penn (moved to Randolf Co., Mo. Another child died young.

John was rather litigious, and the lawsuit records reveal much about his life. While in Lancaster county, he rented out the services of his slaves.

According to historian Woodie Brown Parrott: "In the early 1830's, John divided his estate between his children of this 3rd marriage, and in 1836, went to live with his son, William R Parrott, in Green Co., Kentucky, where he died."

The Louisa County court certified that John Parrott died on November 27 1840, and his brother William also stated that John died in 1840. However, a petition filed with the court by John's two sons of his 3rd marriage stated John died in November 1839, so there was a conflict with respect to John's death in Ky."

Affidavit from brother, William:
Transcription from Parrott Talk VII(4):5 1980

28 March 1843
I William Parrott of the County of Greene in the State of Virginia hereby certify that I am a Revolutionary Pensioner and that I was eighty nine years of age the 30th day of January last past, now enjoying tolerable health and sound mind and memory; and as such do upon my oath testify and declare, that John Parrott my brother enlisted as a private in the Revolutionary War in the year Seventeen hundred and seventy six for twelve months this in Capt. Heath Company of minute men in the County of Northumberland in the State of Virginia and served in active service in the said county. Guarding the salt works on the Chesapeake Bay from early in the spring of that year to till late in the fall of same year at which time he was discharged from that service and he then married and moved to the adjoining County, Lancaster, where he again entered the service in the Militia and performed service nearly the whole of the war, but how long he was in active service I am unable to say, but have no hesitation in saying that he was in active service which altogether then two years, as the Milita in the lower Counties of Virginia was generally in active service from early in the war until the surrender of Lord Cornwallis at Yorktown.

Having been a long time in the same kind of service myself, I had frequent opportunities of seeing my brother in service, and therefore I think that I can with truth say that he served fully the time before stated. I have no distinct recollection of the officers under whom my brother served after he removed to the County of Lancaster, but I think at one time he was in a Company Commanded by Captain Berryman and Lieutenant Newton Brent. I well recollect, however the name of the Capt. under whom he first enlisted which was Capt. Heath as before stated and I know further, that after my brother had been in service a short time, that he was appointed an Ensign in the same Company and a man by the name of Augustine Coppedge was the Lieutenant in the same Company. I further certify that my brother John and myself were both residents of the County of Northumberland at the time he enlisted and that after the war I removed to the County of Orange, now Greene, and my brother John moved first to Loudoun then to Louisa County, in which County he resided until four years past he went to the state of Kentucky on a visit to one of his sons, where he died sometime in the year 1840, leaving two children, I think, in Kentucky, and several in this State in the County of Orange and Louisa. Given under my hand this 28th day of March 1843.

William Parrott.

Charles Parrott of Virginia
By Woodie Brown Parrott
Reprinted from Parrott Talk, February 1975, pp 13-14.

I applaud the emphasis given the Parrott family in Virginia and Barbados in the November issue of Parrott Talk. However the dates on my family (Charles Parrott-Sarah Brown, pp. 31, 32) were quite erroneous. Accordingly, I respectfully submit the following account which is proven through county and family Bible records.

Charles Hughlett Parrott was born in Northumberland County, Virginia, on January 29, 1772 to William, Sr. And Hannah Hughlett Parrott. With the death of his father and mother by his sixth year, he was reared by his eldest brother, William Parrott, Jr., who was eighteen years his senior.

In either 1786 or 1787, the Parrotts left the old family homestead in Northumberland County, and relocated to Albemarle County before October 1787. On the latter date, Charles's sister, Elizabeth Parrott, married George Shearman who also came from the "Northern Neck." In 1789, the Parrotts and the Shearmans relocated in Orange County, but in that section which became Greeene County in 1838.

Charles Parrott married Sarah Brown on October 15, 1806 in Albemarle County. Sarah Brown was the daughter of Capt. Bezaleel and Mary "Polly" Thompson Brown of "Mount Fair" in Brown's Cove, Albemarle County, Virginia. The Browns were of Welch descent, and a family of prominence in their own right.

Charles Parrott was frequently appointed executor to wills, and often appointed by the courts to appraise estates. His name is found in association with prominent families, such as Early, Stephens, etc. in Albermarle and Orange Counties.

Charles and Sarah Brown Parrott owned more than 1000 acres in Greene and Albemarle Counties. Charles staffed his large farms with 48 slaves and other hired hands. Sarah Brown Parrott subsequently inherited two servants from the estate of her father, Capt. Brown.

By 1820, William Parrott, Jr., brother of Charles, had aspired to be the high sheriff of Orange County, a position which he held the following year also. Sheriff Parrott, in 1821, is known to have owned a 2,587 acre plantation in the Quinque area of Greene County (then in the County of Orange), and had 35 slaves. In 1838, with the formation of the County of Greene from Orange, William Parrott Jr., was appointed the first sheriff. William was still a magistrate of Greene County when in his 90's and lived to be 101 years of age.

Charles Hughlett Parrott died testate in Greene County at his home near Quinque on February 28, 1833. Sarah Brown Parrott survived her husband by nearly 33 years, and managed their considerable estate with tact. In 1845, her slaves built the lovely antebellum on the present Rt. 629 in Greene County, which incidentally, has not left the Parrott family after three generations.

Sarah Brown Parrott died at her Quinque home on January 20, 1865, having been born in Brown's Cove on November 21, 1787.

Charles married Sarah Brown on 15 Oct 1806 in Albemarle Co., Virginia. Sarah was born on 21 Nov 1787 in Albemarle Co., Virginia and died on 20 Jan 1865, at age 77.

Notes: Mentioned in her father's will, 1829, Book 9, p 351.

"Seventhly- I give to my Daughter Sarah Parrott sundries in property and cash which she now has in her possession, All of which I estimate to her at two thousand four hundred and seventeen dollars."

Peak also died a year later. So now Permelia was left a widow for the second time after only being married a year. Records indicate that Permelia married her brother-in-law, John P Tandy, less than one year after her sister (Elizabeth) died in April of 1843 (before March 27 1844)"

Taylor County Circuit Bundle #98. F.J. Hieston vs William Parrott, Sr. and Harriett Parrott, 14 Aug 1866.
F.J. Hieston, W.G. Dearen, and Gid Marr state that at Sept. 1865 term of Taylor Circuit Court, Hieston obtained a judgment against Parrott for $186.40. At the ame court, Dearen obtained a judgment against Parrott for $186.40, and Gid Marr obtained a judgment against Parrott for $186.40. The judgment was placed in the hands of J.B. McWhorter, sheriff of Taylor Co. for collection, and the sheriff levied a tract containing 286 acres on Pitman Creek, as the property of William Parrott, Sr., being the farm and tract where he lived and still lives. The property was sold at the courthouse door and purchased by Hieston, Dearen, and Marr. They have found out that Parrott made a pretended transfer of the land to his daughter, Harriett, on 4 Oct 1865, two days before the levy. They feel that Parrott has defrauded them. Harriett had no money to pay for the land, and Parrott has continued to live there. Harriett Parrott says she knows nothing of the judgment but her father did convey the land to her. She says her mother has been dead for a number of years and her father was quite old and feeble. They agreed that if she would stay with him, keep house and care for him, superintend the the domestick concerns for him and let him work a negro girl on the farm and about the house, that he would pay for her time, and trouble, by conveying the farm to her. She had done this for 11 years.
<depositions>
Judgment: The deed that William Parrott Sr. made to Harriet was judged fraudulent. The first sale was set aside, and judgement was to sell the land at the courthouse door. William Parrott died during the suit.

At his death, he owned personal estate, but no land. A.F. Nelson put in a claim of $20.01 for whiskey. Cyrus Parrott stated that his father, William Parrott, Sr., had bought whiskey from Nelson several times, but to what amount, he couldn't state.

========================
Two Men Shot - Trial of the Prisoner, &c.

GREENWOOD, ORANGE CO., VA., Jan. 30. - It appears that Samuel H. Parrott, residing in the northern part of this county, was apprehensive of an intended mob upon his person, and, therefore, was on the alert for all seeming passers-by.

On the 8th instant, two inoffensive young men, named Lancaster and Mead, who, under all probability, were entirely ignrant of Mr. Parrott's apprehension, attempted to visit, or pass near his house by moonlight, when Parrott hailed them, but they did not reply. He immediately raised his gun and fired, as it was his first thought, mortally wounding the young men. The attending physician, Dr. Dunn, informs me, however, that they are out of danger, and doing well; and that the only inconvenience the sufferers will ultimately experience from the shot, is the loss of one of Mead's eyes, and a shot in Lancaster's thigh, that will probably affect him through life.

The prisoner, having been bailed, appeared in Court, on Monday last, unaccompanied by the civil authorities, and took his seat with his counsel, Messrs. Woolfolk and Williams. The Court deemed it expedint that the should go before a higher tribunal of justice, and therefore, continued his trial till the May term of the Circuit Court. The prisoner was bailed.

As a girl, she said her parents told her they were descendants of the Robert Parrott who was imprisoned in the Tower of London for trying to steal the Crown Jewels.

-----------
Note: The list of prisoners in the Tower of London does show that a Robert Perrot was jailed in the Tower in 1671. Although the reason for his imprisonment is not recorded, an Edward Parrot was jailed at the same time, for helping Captain Thomas Blood steal the Crown Jewels. Edward and Captn Blood were released, but there is no record of Robert's fate. The Tower list also shows that a rebel by that name was executed at Taunton, Somerset, in 1685, for participating in the Monmouth Rebellion.

Was deputy clerk of the Washington County Court, and he witnessed the marriage bond of Thomas Lincoln and Nancy Hanks (parents of Abraham Lincoln) on 10 June, 1806. A bronze plaque to this effect is posted in the building that houses the Lincoln-Hanks cabin, at Fort Harrod, Harrodsburg, Ky. "With bond executed, deputy clerk John H.

At his death, his widow married Mountford Peter, who was left as guardian to his children Mary Ann and William. The 1829 death date has been questioned because the 1830 Census lists John H Parrott, 20-30 yrs of age, with wife 20-30 years of age, and a daughter 5-10 years of age. This John Hughlett is John's nephew. The John Hughlett Parrott in question would have been 45 years old if he had made it to 1930.

John Marion can be placed by the Hickman Vital Statistics deaths for 1854, where there is the following entry: Parrott, John M. (single-farmer)18 10/2/54 HC, KY Charles S. Parrott and Elizabeth---------- (Cause: Flux). Furthermore, ML Gossum notes that it was rather unusual that C. S. Parrott and Ann Shelton were married for five years before a child appears. Not likely in that time period. These extra children would fit in well with the rest of the known children, particularly since we know now they had a son named John M. who died in 1854.

Notes: Birth date is as found in the Nall-Parrott family bible by Marie Parrott Holman. Death date is listed as December ___th, 1862.

This almost certainly is the same person listed as Huria Toums in the 2nd column of the Nall-Parrott bible, and where he is listed as dying on 11 January 1862. The bible also lists him as being in the Confederate army, Vicksburg, Tennessee.

This is also almost certainly the Thomas Parrott (listed as Thomas W sometimes) who was a Confederate Soldier. ML Gossum notes that the Hickman 1850 census lists a Uriah Parrott, age 11. On the 1860 census there is no Uriah but a Thomas W. appears who is exactly ten years older than Uriah on the 1850. Neither Uriah nor Thomas W. appear on the Hickman County 1870 census. This is consistent with the premise he died as a result of Civil War wounds.

Enlisted as a Private on 05 July 1861
Enlisted in Company A, 2nd Infantry Regiment Kentucky on 05 July 1861.
Wounded on 08 December 1862 at Hartsville, Tennessee

Notes: [Special to the Times-Dispatch.]
CROZET, VA., October 19.- Mrs. Lucy E. Brown, the widow of Horace Brown, of Brown's Cove, Albermarle county, died Tuesday morning in the ninety-fourth year of her age, having been born on the 6th day of May, 1814. She had been ill only a few days, and possessed her mental faculties to the last moment, notwithstanding her extreme age. She was buried beside the grave of her husband in the family burying ground near the old homestead, in which she had lived for the past seventy-five years.

Mrs. Brown was a cheerful, but very strong Christian character. Her life was an example of all that a bright Christian character means. She was a faithful and lifelong member of Brown's Cove Methodist Church.

She is survived by five children and two brothers, Messrs H.N. Brown, Charles B. Brown, William H.H. Brown and Mrs. E.E. Brown, of Brown's Cove, Va., and Mrs. N.B. Parrott, of Free Union, Va. Mrs. Brown before her marriage was Miss Lucy Parrott and comes of a remarkably long lived family. Her brothers surviving are older than she was at the time of her death. Mr. William T. Parrott, of Free Union, Va., was born November 16, 1812, so he is in his ninety-fifth year. He attended the funeral, and seems quite active. Mr. Bozwell (sic) B. Parrott, of Amicus, Greene county, Va., is in his ninety-eighth year and extremely healthy for a man of his great age. He was born on the 20th day of February, 1810.

It is surprising by comparison to remember that when the subject of this sketch was born Washington had been dead only fifteen years, and that the Sage of Monticello (Jefferson) had ten years yet to live.

The Browns, of which family she was a member, settled Brown's Cove in 1742 by letters patent from the King of England. Mr. Nimrod Brown, soldier in War of 1812, was patentee of the first power loom ever made. the loom can now be seen at his old homestead.

Mrs. Brown is also survived by many grandchildren, notably among them being the wife of Hon. Nat. B. Early, of Greene county and candidate for State Senate from the district composed of Albemarle, Green and the city of Charlottesville.

Mrs. Faith Thomas Parrott, of Martinsville, Virginia

Faith Thomas Parrott, second daughter of the late Honorable C.Y. Thomas and Mrs. Mary Reamy Thomas, was one of Martinville's brightest and most patriotic women, always taking a leading part in the activities which she partipated.

After here marriage to Mr. Parrott, she assisted him in conducting a select school in Martinsville for several years. She possessed musical talent and was organist and musical director in the Episcopal church for many years.

Mrs. Parrott was one of the founders of the Patrick Henry Chapter. D.A.R., June 15, 1905, and for twenty-three years was the faithful regent. Her enthusiasm and devotion to the work of the organization were proverbial. When anything was undertaken by the society, Mrs. Parrott was never known to falter in her determination of reach the goal. During her regency a handsome monument was erected in honor of Patrick Henry, on land formerly owned by him, donated by the present owner, Mr. Samuel Hooker; Mrs. Charles B. Keesee donating the imposing granite shaft. A large number of people gathered to witness and take part in the ceremonies of unveiling the monument, which was done by Master Madison Fontaine, and William H. Fontaine, a descendant of Patrick Henry.

A splendid and expensive oil portrait was placed in Continental Hall in Washington, District of Columbia, the presentation ceremonies being conducted by Mrs. Parrott.

Patriotism and temperance formed a large part of her work. She was president of the W.C.T.U. in Martinsville for many years, and took an active interest in the patriotic work in the public schools, instilling in the minds of the students the importance of Good Citizenship by offering rewards for the best essays on the subject, thereby making deep impressions on those whocould be induced to give thought and time to the work.

In appreciation for the life work of Mrs. Parrott, who passed away in 1928, the members of the chapter give each other a gold medal, known as the Faith Thomas Parrott medal, to the member of the graduating class of the high school ranking highest in Good Citizenship.

During her life a chair was placed in Continental Hall in her honor.

Notes: A GREENE COUNTY WEDDING.
----
Marriage of Mr. J.F. Yager and Miss Mittie E. Parrott.

RUCKERSVILLE, VA., November 4.- (Special.) - A beautiful floral church wedding occurred at Mount Paran Methodist Episcopal church in Greene county, on Wednesday, October 30th, at 2 o'clock. Rev. Mr. Conrad, the pastor in charge, performed the impressive ceremony, and the contracting parties were Miss Mittie E. Parrott, the pretty and attractive daughter of Mrs. Alice Parrott near Quinque, and James Fray Yager, son of Mr. William Yager of Washington.

The local decorative talent of the neighborhood had been busy for several days preparing the church for this even and right royally had it succeeded. The decorations of evergreens and chrysanthemums were profuse and attractive, and when brilliantly lighted by candles, and with windows and doors closed, the church was indeed a thing of beauty, and the remembrance a joy forever.

The front of the church was fenced off with flowers, and in each aisle was a gate of evergreens and chrysanthemums.

Roses and other flowers did their part to add beauty to the scene.

As the wedding march, rendered by Miss Lizzie Chapman, poured its soft melody upon the large assembly, the the two gates were thrown open by four little children, and the couples in attendance, filed in on either side, followed by the bride, beautifully gowned and carrying bride's roses and leaning on the arm of her sister Lizzie, the maid of honor.

At the same time along the opposite aisle came the happy and expectant groom, escorted by his cousin, Mr. Marshall Carpenter, who was best man.

They met in front of the alter under a motto, "Until death us do part," which was suspended by evergreens and chrysanthemums.

After being pronounced man and wife, the bride and groom, amid the dying strains of well-rendered music, led the way from the church and entered their carriage at the door, where they drove to the depot to take the train for Washington, whence they go to Roanoke.

Somerset, Orange county, will be the future home of the happy pair.

She enlisted in her Maker's services during the tender years of childhood and was faithful to the end; and when it came, she expressed herself as being ready and willing to go to Him where her spirit wings would bathe in the crystal pools of Paradise. Mrs. Parrott possessed her mental faculties to an unusual degree throughout her long illness, which she bore with unflinching and Christian fortitute, impressing al who saw and talked with her during the days of her silent and patient waiting, and that the transistion would soon take place, would be hailed with love's sweetest confidence, her abiding reverence and perfect faith affording every assurance that all was well with her; that the separation held no gloom nor sorrow, save in the tought of such sadnesses that would find its way to the hearts of those who loved her best. The husband of the deceased preceded her to the Beyond less than two years ago, leaving her with eight daughters and two sons, all of whom are useful and worthy citizens, namely: Mrs. Charles Gupton, Mrs. W.H. Dearen, Mrs. Geo. W. VanCleave, Mr. Charles Parrott of this county; Mrs. John Cowherd, of Kansas; Mrs. R.W.

Notes: From: Miller, WH. 1907. History and Genealogies. Richmond, KY, pp 680-681.

"William N. Parrott was a non commissioned officer in the Pickett's division of the Confederate Army, but of a different regiment and brigade from his brother, C.B. Parrott, who fell at Hatcher's Run. However, William N. Parrott was engaged and wounded in the same battle. He was wounded also in Picketts celebrated charge at Gettysburg. He was of Kempers old brigade, composed of the 1st, 7th, 11th, 17th, and 24th, Virginia, and was at the second battle of Manassas. Kemper was then in command of three brigades, acting as Major General. Colonel D.M. Corse, being the ranking Colonel, placed him in immediate command of the Kemper Brigade, who made at a critical moment one of the most brilliant movements ever witnessed on a battle field, when Kemper's old Brigade, which Colonel Skinner, on old Fox, his sorrel horse, in the lead wielding his sword with deadly effect, and William N. Parrott hard by, took a five gun battery and four regimental flags.

"Mr. Parrott seems to bear a charmed life, being survivor of many hair-breadth escapes, which would be enough to kill an ordinary man. If the Confederate soldiers had all been as hard to to kill as he, President Davis would never have gone to Fortress Munroe. This veteran, like Achilles, must only be vulnerable in the heel, as that is about the only part of his body which has escaped injury. He began at the early age of six years to court death by getting himself, unwittingly in the way of a large tree falling over him, pinning his body to the ground, and costing him about a pound of flesh and skin. On twelve different occasions his life seemed to hang by a thread, and some of his experiences were thrilling in the extreme, his injuries including broken arms, broken collar bone, broken ribs, broken legs, dislocated hips, and bruises and strains innumerable. On three occasions he was caught under falling timber. Once thrown from a horse, rebreaking a leg, and climbing upon his horse, rode in that condition a distance of fifteen miles to his home. He was once thrown from a wagon, and reeled around the wheel. He was in eighteen regular battles-- including Picketts gallant charge at Gettysburg, besides numerous skirmishes, of the Civil War. he was in the very hotbead of the war, and was shot twice by cannon and twice by a musket, and was in the wreck of of the Fat Nancy in 1888, between Washington and Charlotte, North Carolina, when the train went through a trestle sixty feet high, mashing the car into kindling wood, sustaining at that timethe most critical injuries-- one leg was broken in three places, the other leg hurt, still worse in the hip, two ribs broken, both elbows nearly broken, and his whole body fearfully mashed, and bruised, he still survived. How he has retained his hold on life, is one of the miracles of God's providence. He calls himself a stack of patched up bones-- really he looks now, at an advanced age, as though he might stand several more knocks.

The Thompsons and Parrotts can battle long,
The Dabney blood runs red and strong,
They all awake at the call of the drums,
The blood of the Browns the rescue comes,
They marshall their forces at his call,
Who takes this fortress must fight them all.

EXPERIENCES OF AN OLD SOLDIER

Mr. W.N. Parrott, a Member of Pickett's Division, Evidently Bears a Charmed Life.

Editor Progress: As I see some of the old soldiers are giving in some of their experiences as to narrow escapes, will give you a few of my own.
When six years old, I was out where my father was having an oak tres two and a half feet in diameter cut in down, when this tree fell, I was too near and was caught under and mased to the ground by a limb eight inches in diameter, came out unhurt.
When seventeen years old, at school, was throwing up and 18 lb. cannon ball when my feet slipped from under me, I falling flat on my back the ball went about twenty feet in the air and fell within five inches of my face.
At the battle of Williamsburg, whilst holding my musket in my hands it was shot in two pieces, between my hands.
At second battle of Manassas, I was struck with a grape shot.
At Gettysburg, I was struck by a shell.
Near Dinwiddie, C. H., March 31, 1865, I was shot through right arm with rifle ball.
In 1883 was in Texas, assisting in raising a wind mill, I was on a platform 24 feet high when a 15 pound iron ball fell from some distance above me and barely missed my head. Also. had large piece of timber 18 feet long to fall from above me, which struck on my shoulder and glanced down by arm, tearing away my coat sieve.
12th of July, 1888, was postal clerk on Southern Railway, was in the Fat Nancy wreck, went down with the postal car 60 feet through the trestle, the car was broken into kindling wood, and I sustained injuries as follows, left leg broken in three places, right hip badly injured, two ribs broken, both elbows badly injured, paralyzed in stomach and bowels for ten days, and Dr. W.C.N. Randolph said my back from head to hips was bruised so it was black as black hat.
In 1895 I was riding up Main street in Charlottesville, my horse scared at a street car, reared up and fell backward on me, breaking my left leg, which had already been broken in three places. The next morning after having the leg set, I rode the same horse eighteen miles to my county home.
On another occasion, a large tree that was cut down for an opossum came within a few inches of catching me.
In 1884 whilst traveling down the Mississippi River R.R. on a train, we travelled several hours though water caused by a freshet, that was so deep that at times it came near putting the fire out in the engine.
In addition to the foregoing my collar bone and arm have been broken, these injuries were received in minor scrapes. Respectfully,

W.N. Parrott

His first six years as a medical practitioner were at Fork Union Military Academy. He recalled that many times the roads were bad and he had to travel by horseback or buggy. From Fork Union he went to New York City where he spent two years on the staff of St. Bartholomew's Hospital, then came to Charlottesville for 12 years where was line surgeon for the C&O Railway. But when the depression of 1929 hit, he went to New Market.

OF MANY incidents through the years, Dr. Parrott thinks "the most ridiculous" was the night he got his car stuck in the mud of a deserted barnyard (The people had forgot to tell him that they had moved and that place was empty). He had to spend the night in the barnyard in his car, surrounded by cattle.

Notes: No records of his marriage. The 1880 census for Russell co., Virgnia has Frank Herron, married to Columbia, as head of household. W.H. Susan are living with him, as is Fannie Parrott, age 4, his niece. The only way this works out is if she was the daughter of William A. Also, there is a Suda Parrott, age 6, labeled as his sister in law. This one is tougher to explain. Given she is listed right under Susan Parrott, mother in law, I suspect it might have been a Freudian slip on the part of the census taker, and that Suda was actually a niece.

Notes: Identify Man Found Dead At El Dorado
El Dorado, Ark., Nov. 9 - Sheriff O.E. Bishop said a man slain in a woodland section near here last Saturday as Roy Roosevelt Parrott, of Lebanon, Ky.

Bishop said the identification was established through comparison of the man's fingerprints with those on file with the FBI at Washington.

Parrott died of a broken neck, apparently inflicted in a struggle. There was nothing in the victim's clothing to identify him. No arrests have been made.

Bishop said the FBI telegraphed him Parrott was arrested at Orange, Texas, in December, 1949, on a charge of drunkenness. He was listed as a native of Dalton, Ga. The telegram gave no additional details.

Slain Man's Body Sent to Kentucky
El Dorado, Ark., Nov. 14 -- The body of a man who was mysteriously slain in a wooded area off the Callon highway seven miles north of El Dorado Saturday, Nov. 4, was shipped to Lebanon, Ky., today for burial, according to Andrew Forbis, deputy coroner.

The slain man was identified as Roy Roosevelt Parrott, 38, by the FBI. Identification was made from fingerprints obtained when the body was found in a stagnant pool of water Sunday, Nov. 5. A coroner's jury returned a verdict that the man had been slain by a person or persons unknown after an autopsy revealed the victim died from a broken neck. Two brothers and a sister survive.

Meanwhile Sheriff O.E. Bishop is seeking a suspect for questioning but has withheld his identity.

Funeral services for Roy Roosevelt Parrott, 46, fomerly of this city, who was found dead with a broken neck the night of November 4 in a wooded section near El Dorado, Ark., were conducted yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock by Dr. F.G. Schlafer at the Bosely Funeral Homes. The remains arrived here on the 11 o'clock train Wednesday morning.

Circumstances surrounding Mr. Parrott's death are obscure, but he apparently suffered the fatal injury in struggle, and authorities, convinced that murder was committed, are at work on the case. According to Sherriff O.E. Bishop of El Dorado, who is assisting in the search for the killer, no arrests have been made. The slain man had no papers when the body was discovered, and identification was made by the F.B.I. by means of fingerprints and a tattooed shoulder.

Notes: Sometimes his middle name is listed as Clelland. However, it is more likely to be Clellon because he is buried in the Perkins/Bell-Bloyd Cemetery outside of Bloyd's Crossing in Green County, next to his daughter Mattie J Ratliff and her husband Robert E. Ratliff. The grave is marked with a very large field stone and is known to be there by living relatives. Robert Clellon's grandson by them is named for him; Clellon J. Ratliff and is buried at the same cemetery and that is the way it is spelled on the stone (information by Wesley and Jean Parrott, April 2002).

Robert married Martha R. Patterson on 3 Jan 1879 in Butler River's Farm, Taylor Co., Kentucky. Martha was born in May 1859 in Taylor Co., Kentucky and died on 15 Mar 1924 in Campbellsville, Taylor Co., Kentucky, at age 64.

Notes: Is buried at Good Hope Baptist Cemetery. Her headstone gives her birth as 1861, but the marriage bond lists in Jan of 1879 - "The age of bride is 22." The 1920 census gives Martha R.s age as 61 yrs old (from Jean and Wesley Parrott, April, 2002). The 1880 census lists her age as 22, at which time their son was already 8 months old.

George William Parrott
George William Parrott, son of Cyrus and Martha Parrott, was born Dec. 27, 1852, in Taylor County, Kentucky, and died at his home in Hancock county, Indiana, April 1st, 1922, at the age of 69 years, 3 months and 4 days.

The family consisted of nine children, George William being the only son. On December 22, 1876, he was married to Sarah Elizabeth Martin, of Taylor County, Kentucky. To this union were born six children, three dying in infancy, one daughter, after growing to young womanhood, this daughter being the mother of Mrs. Sallie Brady, the granddaughter, whom they have reared since infancy.

The wife and mother was claimed by death only five short months ago, her death being a great shock to the aged companion.

Mr. Parrett's occupation in life was always that of farming. Mr. and Mrs. Parrott and son, George, came to Indiana some seven years ago, one son, Patrick having preceded them by two years.

Mr. Parrett was a man always ready and willing to help wherever his services were needed; only a few days ago, his son's family being sick, he felt as though it was his duty to go and do all for them he could, never tiring in his efforts. God loves a willing hand and may his work on the other shore be as successful as we have known it to be on earth.

His sickness was of short duration, that of double pneumonia being confined to his bed only three and a half days. He recognized his condition and told his family he would never get well.

He leaves to mourn his departure two sons; eight grandchildren; three great grand children and four sisters, and many other relatives and friends. The sisters are all living in Kentucky.

Dear ones, we know it is hard to part with loved ones, but console your selves with the thought that Father has only gone to meet mother and what a happy reunion that will be. "Not my will, but Thine O God, be done."

George married Sarah Elizabeth Martin on 22 Dec 1876 in Taylor Co., Kentucky. Sarah was born on 17 Oct 1852 in Taylor Co., Kentucky and died on 20 Oct 1921 in Hancock Co., Indiana, at age 69.

Notes: Sarah Elizabeth Martin, daughter of James S., and Elizabeth Martin, was born, Oct 17th, 1852, in Taylor county, Kentucky, died at her home in Hancock county, Ind., October 20, 1921, at the age of 69 years and 2 days.

On December 22, 1876, she gave her heart and hand to George William Parrott in marriage, with whom she travelled life's rugged path for more than two score years. Unto this union were born six children, of whom three died in infancy and one daughter, after growing into young womanhood. Some nine years ago one son, P.G. Parrott, with his family, came to Indiana, and the family ties being strong, the father, mother and brother George followed in two years, which which time they have made Indiana their home, proving themselves to be honorable citizens.

In early life Mrs. Parrott became a member of the Baptist church, but since her removal from Kentucky, she never affiliated with any church, but nevertheless did her faith in Jesus Christ never waver, as she always taught her children that the will of God was best obeyed. More than a year ago, whe was stricken with hemorrhages of the lungs, from which she never recovered. Her last sickness covered a period of twenty-two days full of suffering, but never complaining, always putting her trust in God, as she was often heard by the family singing and praying. Oh, how beautiful to know that mother can now sing with the angels.

She leaves to mourn their loss a kind and loving husband, two devoted sons, eight grandchilren, one of whom, Mrs. Sallie Brady, she reared since infancy, three grandchildren (sic), three brothers and sisters.

Such is the will of God. Look up, dear ones, and submit to the stroke, for it is a loving hand that has smitten you. Mother is not dead, only sleeping.

COL PARROTT DEAD
Prominent Promoter and Business Man Died at Hot Springs Yesterday

Col. Parrott Died Yesterday
Col. R.B. Parrott died at his home on Moore street yesterday after a very brief illness. The colonel has been a resident of this city only a few months as the head of this division for the Northwestern Investment Company, but during his short stay has made his presence felt and gathered to himself a large number of friends and admirers.

He was a man of wonderful energy, ability and resource, one of his most marked characteristics being his broadminded public interest and enterprise. Most of his life had been spent in Texas, where he was well-known and respected throughout the state with the upbuilding of which he had for years been so closely associated. He was the originator of the Cotton Palace at Waco and of Texas on Wheels, tow of the most successful advertising enterprises ever promulgated. At the time of his demise, he was pushing a similar plan in this, his adopted state, and it is more than probable, had his life been spared another year, that the plans would have been advanced to a state that would have insured erection of the "The Exhibit Palace" in this city [Little Rock].

The remains were sent to Waco for interment in the family lot, accompanied by the sorrowing wife and son. The sad party left this city yesterday afternoon on the 1:45 train.

PARROTT, ROBERT B. (1848-1903). Robert B. Parrott, Confederate soldier and business executive, was born in Amherst County, Virginia, on October 16, 1848, the son of William J. and Jane C. (Blanks) Parrott. His mother was a niece of James Smithson, founder of the Smithsonian Institution. After receiving early training at the Davis Primary School and the Lanza Academy, Parrott, at age thirteen, entered the University of Virginia. In 1862, however, after only six months of classes, he dropped out to enter Confederate military service. He enlisted as a private in Lt. Col. John Singleton Mosby's Forty-third Virginia Cavalry Battalion and was soon elected second sergeant of Company F. He was captured at Rectortown, Virginia, on December 21, 1864, and was confined to Fort Warren in Boston harbor for the duration of the war. After his release on June 16, 1865, Parrott returned to Virginia, where he worked for a commission house in Richmond and Charlottesville. In October 1872 he moved to Waco, Texas, and became an agent for the Nashville Life Insurance Company. He married Mrs. Alice Downs Farmer on June 12, 1873, and became the father of six children.

In 1874 Parrott became an agent for the Mobile Life Insurance Company, and in 1875 he went to work for the Alabama Gold Life Insurance Company. He became president of the Provident Savings Life Insurance Company of New York and general manager of its Texas, Arkansas, and the Pacific Slope organization. He was also a director of the Provident National Bank of Waco. Parrott was a principal founder of the Texas Real Estate Association. He served as a trustee of the University of the South at Sewanee, Tennessee; he was chairman of the Texas World's Columbian Exhibition Committee in 1893 and of the Waco School Committee. He was responsible for the construction of the Provident Building at Fourth and Franklin streets, a Waco landmark, and he served on the Waco city council and was president of the Waco Board of Trade.

Col. R. B. Parrott
A Sketch of the Able Manager of the Clark Forces
Waco News
The approaching close of the heated and excited political campaign makes appropriate and fitting some intention of one who has borne a distinguished part therein, and to whose far-reaching skill and powers of organization is largely due to the tremendous strength Judge Clark has developed -- a strength which it is hoped will yet secure his nomination. We refer to Col. R.B. Parrott, the indefatigable manager of the Clark side in the campaign and we are happy to be able to give our readers the portrait of a man as distinguished for public spirit and broad views as for far-reaching powers of organization. The campaign just closing has been one of the hottest and most stubbornly fought campaigns in the annals of Texas politics, and for tactics and displays of generalship has ben unequaled. The Clark side, which started out with the Herculean task of revolutionizing public sentiment mad with prejudice and bitter with antagonisms and with a competitor entrenched in power of office and money has, by prudence and skill in subtle management of Col. Parrott and his coadjutors achieved one of the most wonderful triumphs even if Judge Clark should not be nominated. It is a singular anomaly that a man who was not a prohibitionist should have been chosen to manage the prohibition campaign, which shook the state a few years ago. Col. Parrott was called unanimously to be the leader of the prohibition host, because he was recognized as a master in leadership. He accepted because he thought it was a great moral movement which would accrue in good to the state and in his disinterestedness waived the offer of $2000 remuneration and did the immense work gratuitously. How grandly that work was done the history of the great contest shows brilliantly. It is still more singular that he who was not and who never has been a politician should have been unanimously selected to the leadership of the Clark forces, especially as in the prohibition campaign he was directly opposed to the side which Judge Clark espoused; but his powers of leadership and organization are such that it is impossible to stay out of public life. In the leadership of both the prohibition an Clark cohorts, Col. Parrott has infused a desirable feature into great public movements. Both campaigns on his side have been conducted in a cleanly and decent manner, in which the appeals have been without exception been to reason and the best citizenship, and knavery and trickery have been wholly eliminated so that those campaigns under his leadership have been salutary and educative without reference to the outcome of either. For this Col. Parrott deserves a vote of thanks from the people of Texas without regard to side or proclivities. Few citizens have contributed more to the prosperity of Texas than Col. Parrott. His life efforts to introduce into Texas a cheaper system of life insurance than that of the old lines which drained Texas of money, made eminently successful after year of devoted energy, bitter opposition and obstacles that would have crushed a less determined man, have saved millions to the state and have done good impossible to comprehend in building up the material prosperity of our beloved state. It was his genius which, while residing in California, but still looking longingly and lovingly toward Texas, suggested the real estate organization for the advertisement of Texas and which led to the grand and novel scheme of advertising by moving cars which are now spreading the fame of Texas far and wide, the grandest and happiest scheme of advertising ever known.
It is a charming bit of the history of Col. Parrott's grand work in Texas that it is done from pure disinterestedness. He has no ax to grind, no political aspiration, and there is no gift in the power of politics which could seduce him from a vocation which he has made grand, broad and more remunerative than politics, place or power. A grand man, in the prime of life, broad in his views, always on the side of what he thinks to be right and the people, he has done and will do a work for Texas incalculable in its beneficence.

SHOOTS WIFE AND THEN TURNS PISTOL UPON HIMSELF
Chas. B. Parrott Commits Murder and Suicide.
FOLLOWS QUARREL
Tragedy Enacted in Couple's Home at 3 This Morning
Man Had Asked Wife to Commit Suicide, She Refused.
BOTH IN ILL HEALTH
This May Have Been the Cause of the Husband's Crime.

Charles B. Parrott shot and instantly killed his wife, Lucille, at 3 o'clock this morning and then blew out his own brains, at their home, 1019 Avenue C.
The man had asked his wife some days ago to commit suicide and she refused. It appears that both were in poor health and this, it is thought, was the cause of the crime. The two had quarreled before the shooting.
Mrs. Parrott was shot while in bed. The bullet entered the right side of her head, just above the tip of the ear, penetrating the brain and coming out at the left ear. Her death was instantaneous.
Parrott shot himself in the right side of the head. The bullet ranged upwards and came out near the top of the head. He lived for twenty minutes after the tragedy.

Shooting Followed Quarrel.
Immediately following the killing the police were on the scene. Mounted Officers Brown and Mussey were detailed and later Coroner Umscheid viewed the remains, after which they were removed to the parlors of the local undertakers.
The first word received by the police of the murder and suicide was when Gus Gimble telephoned police headquarters. He had heard the firing of the pistol.
The shooting was not witnessed by any one. It occurred in the room of Mr. and Mrs. Parrott, following a quarrel. Just before the killing, the husband, it is said, struck his wife on the face and Mrs. Parrott had threatened to get a divorce from him today.

Woman struggled.
The most sensational feature connected with the killing is the fact that, -according to the statement of Mrs. J. C. Hampton, mother of the murdered woman, Charles Parrott proposed to his wife Sunday that they both commit suicide. The reason for this was that the husband was said
to have been in poor health and his wife also was not in the best of health. Mrs. Parrott is said to have scorned the idea of taking her own life, declaring that her health was improving.
It is evident that a struggle took place between the wife and husband before the first shot was fired. The woman's right hand is badly powder burned, showing that she had grabbed the pistol and tried to save herself when he levelled it at her.
When the police entered the room, Mrs. Parrott was dead. The husband lay on the floor unconscious. A physician was hurriedly sent for, but in twenty minutes Parrott had breathed
his last, without making a statement.
Only two shots were discharged. The revolver was found upon the floor by the side of the husband.

Mother First to Reach Room.
Mrs. J. C. Hampton, a trained nurse and mother of the dead woman, and in whose home the tragedy was enacted, was the first to reach the scene of the killing, which occurred in a room only a few steps from her own room. She had just left the bedside of her daughter, after telling her and her husband to stop quarreling and go to sleep.
After leaving the room, according to her own statement, she was in her room but a short space of time when tho report of a pistol, followed by a second one, rang out. Following
the second report she heard a heavy fall upon the floor.
When she entered the room her eyes fell upon a terrible sight. Lying upon tho bed, the bed-clothing stained to a crimson hue by the blood that flowed from an ugly wound in her daughter's head, lay the lifeless form of Mrs. Parrott, killed by the hand of the one who had sworn to love, cherish and protect her.

Husband's Body on Floor.
But this was not all. There upon the floor was the prostate form of the man whom her daughter had called husband. He was in death's struggle. Near his right hand lay the pistol with which the double tragedy had been committed. The smoke had hardly had time to disappear before Mrs.
Hampton entered the room, she realized the situation at one glance. It was but a few minutes later that the police stepped in, having been summoned by Mr. Gimble.
Whether the killing was the result of a sudden fit of anger, by reason of the quarrel which followed the couple's return from the theater or whether there is some other reason will never be known. Ill health may have been the cause of the tragedy or it may have resulted from the
thought that his wife had threatened to take steps to get a divorce from him today.
The inquest will be held by Coroner Umscheid this afternoon.

CRIME PREMEDITATED, THINKS MRS. HAMPTON
THE MOTHER OF MRS. PARROTT TELLS OF EVENTS AND QUARREL
BEFORE SHOOTING.
"I think the murder of my daughter and the suicide of her husband was a premeditated affair, although I may be mistaken," said Mrs. J.C. Hampton, mother of the murdered woman this morning to a reporter for The Light, when seen at her home.
Mrs. Hampton was reluctant at first about discussing the case and tears streamed from her eyes as she thought of the terrible tragedy. She declared that she detested newspaper notoriety and preferred saying nothing at all. Several times she protested that there was nothing to say. However, the grief-stricken mother, after a little while told the story of the double killing between sobs and tears pouring from her eyes.
"My daughter, Lucille and her husband with a part of friends went to the theater last night," began Mrs. Hampton. "While they were gone, it commenced to rain and I suppose after
the show it was when she telephoned me that she might have to stay down town or come home in a cab. She said that she would be home about 12 o'clock."
"But when 12 o'clock came and she did not come I began to wondering why she did not come. I knew she had money to engage a cab, for I had given her a $20 bill, but finally at 2
o'clock this morning the cab drove up and she came in with her husband. The rest of the party had gone to their homes first. A little son of Mrs. O'Brian, a friend of mine was with the party that went to the theater."
"As soon as they got out of the cab, my daughter came into my room and shut the door behind her. Charley came in right behind her. They appeared angry and he appeared to me as if he had been drinking."
"I said to him, 'Charley I don't want to have any trouble with you.' I then told him to go to his room."
"Charley then told Lucille to come with him, but she said that she would not."
"They quarreled a little, and when he saw that she was not going with him, he left my room and went to his own room.
"My daughter sat in my room for some time and 1 told her that she could sleep in my room. She pulled off her shoes and stockings and started to go to her room to get her night robe. I told her not to go but she insisted on going, declaring that she was not afraid of him. About five
minutes later I heard her say in an angry manner:
" 'Oh, you cowardly cur, you struck me in the face. I will never live with you again. I will get a divorce from you in the morning.'
"I hurried from my room," continued Mrs. Hampton, "and entered the room in which they were and brought her back to mine. She forgot her night robe and although I endeavored
to persuade her from going back to get it she protested that she would get it. It seemed to be fate that called her. She had no sooner entered her own room than they again commenced to quarrel.
"Mrs. O'Brien, a friend of mine, whose room adjoined their room, opened her door. The door of my daughter's room was partly open and Mrs. O'Brien looked in. She told me that she could never forget the look that was on Charley's face. It was the face of a maniac or madman.
They were still quarreling.
"I afterwards went into the room and told them to go to sleep.
"My daughter said that she was going to sleep and threw her arm upon the pillow. Charley remained away from the bed. I thought at the time that I saw him slip something underneath the head of the bed, but I was not sure, then left the room. It was then about 3 o'clock.
"A few minutes later I heard a muffled report of a pistol come from the room. A few seconds later I heard a second report of a pistol and a heavy fall. I rushed into the room.
I was the first to reach it after the firing of the pistol.
"I found my daughter lying in bed with the blood streaming from her head. Her husband was lying on the floor, a few feet away also with a bullet wound in his head. He was yet
alive and lived for twenty minutes.
"Day before yesterday my daughter told me that Charley had proposed to her that they both commit suicide.
" 'You are foolish, we will both get well,' my daughter told me that she had told him.
"Both my daughter and her husband were not in the best of health. Especially my daughter, but lately she had commenced to improve in health and was happy.
"Some time ago I had told my daughter that I had intended sending her to an aunt of mine in Chicago and she had agreed to go later on. This is the only reason that I know why he wanted to kill her. It may be that he found it out and as I had supported them both he probably supposed that he would lose that support."

PARROTT 28 YEARS OLD.
Had Been in the Army -- Mrs. Parrott Was a Handsome Woman.
Mr. and Mrs. Parrott, although having been in the city at different times for the past several years, had only been In San Antonio on this occasion since last February, coming to this city from Houston. They have lived in various cities during their married of life of seven years.

Notes: PARROTT SLAYS WIFE THEN TAKES OWN LIFE
Shocking Tragedy at 1019 Avenue C Early This Morning-Jealously Leads to Death of Two.

The inquest over the bodies of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. B. Parrott, the victims of this morning's tragedy on Avenue C, is now "being conducted before justice Umscheid.

Dr. Triece was the first witness called. The only new feature of his testimony was that the bullet which entered Parrott's head "passed completely through the skull and was found on the floor a short distance from the body. Other witnesses are being examined this afternoon.

The bodies of both Mr. and Mrs. Parrott will be sent to Waco for interment. Waco was the home of the families of both and the bodies will be interred in the family plots there.

Mrs. Parrott's body will be sent on the night train and it is probable that Mrs. Hampton, the mother, will accompany the remains.

Parrott's body will be held until the arrival of his brother, Will Parrott, of Waco, who will take charge of the remains. He is expected on the night train. Parrott's relatives in Waco are well-to-do.

It was learned today that yesterday Mrs. Parrott received $40 from Houston as rental for some property she owned there and it is said that she gave her husband $20, and that they had, had a dispute about the remainder, Parrott being angry because she would not give the remaining $20 to him.

Fearing that his wife was going to leave him and join the Gaskill carnival company, and filled with jealous rage that .was largely the result of liquor, Chas. B. Parrott, formerly of Waco, killed his wife, Mary Lucile Parrott, and himself at 3 o'clock this morning at the home of her mother, Mrs. Hampton, 1017 avenue C. Mrs. Parrott was a brunette of striking beauty.

When the fatal shots were fired Mrs. M. L. Bland, the aged grandmother of the woman, was lying in an adjoining room helpless from a broken hip, and the mother of Mrs. Parrott, Mrs. Hampton, who is a trained nurse, was watching at her bedside.

Two shots sufficed to do the deadly work. The bullet that killed the woman entered the right side of the head about half an inch above the ear and came out through the left ear. The bullet that killed Parrott entered on the left side of the head, just above the ear, and came out through the right temple.

Both were in bad health and had been under the care of a physician. He drank heavily and she had been trying to reform him. A week ago he proposed to her that they kill themselves together, but she laughed at him and told him he was crazy. His reason for making the proposal was that they were hopelessly ill and would never recover their health and would as well kill themselves. She told him she was getting better and if he would quit drinking he would got well, too.

The murder and suicide came after a night of pleasure. The couple went down town early in the evening to take in the carnival shows. They met two lion tamers, Munroc and Davis, and Mrs. Martha Milly Florin, all connected with the Gaskill shows, with whom both the Parrotts were well acquainted.

It appears that all were in a good humor, although Parrott was drinking rather heavily. Parrott rejoined them later and all got into hack to go home. It seems that Parrott and his wife began quarreling in the hack, and as they left it at their home he slapped her.

They entered the home, still quarreling. Mrs. Hampton was sitting up with the grandmother. The couple went to their room. In a few minutes, as was customary, Mrs. Parrott entered the grandmother's room to help her mother attend upon the sick one.

After a few minutes Mrs. Parrott said she would go and get ready for bed. "By the time I am ready he will be asleep," she said. She went to her room. The mother heard their voices and knew from the tone they were still quarreling. A few minutes later she heard a muffled sound, followed by another of the same kind. Then there was silence.

Mrs. Hampton became frightened and ran into the room. She could not open the door, but pushed it wide enough to see Parrott lying across it. She aroused the other roomers and they entered.

Mrs. Parrott was lying on the bed, dead, blood trickling from two wounds in her head. Parrott was on the floor, covered with blood. He was not dead.

The police were notified and officers Brown, Hildebrand and Mitchell went to the house. After a hasty examination they notified justice Umscheid and Dr. J.H. Triese, 419 Avenue C. Dr. Triese arrived in a few minutes, but could do nothing for Parrott, who died in a few minutes.

Shot While in Bed
When Mrs. Hampton entered the room a most gruesome sight met her view. Mrs. Parrott had evidently been sitting up in bed when Parrott fired the shot, for she was still in a half sitting posture, the upper portion of her body being supported in an upright position against the head of the bed. Her hair, which was unbraided and hanging down her back, was completely saturated with the blood that had come from the gaping wound in the side of her head.
Mrs. Parrott must have noted her husband's murderous intentions, but too late to protect herself, for there is evidence of a struggle on her part. Her hand was powder burned, showing that she had grabbed the pistol before the shot was fired. The bullet entered her right ear, but it looked like he had intended to shoot her directly in the forehead, but in the struggle had placed the pistol at the side of her head.
After killing his wife, Parrott immediately shot himself. He placed the pistol at his left ear and pulled the trigger. As he fell to the floor his body struck the door and he was reclining against it when Mrs. Hampton reached the scene of the bloody tragedy. Parrott lived nearly an hour after he was shot, but he was unconscious.
The pistol, which was found a short distance from Parrott's body, was a small 38-caliber rusty and worn. Mrs. Hampton says she did not know that Parrott had a pistol and is of the belief that he must have purchased it at some second-hand store with the past few days.

Mrs. Parrott a Beautiful Woman.
Mrs. Parrott was a young and beautiful. She had just passed her 26^th year, and while for many years in delicate health, she was still most attractive. She was very small, being but a little over five feet in height, and was a rather decided brunette. Her brown hair was long and beautiful, reaching almost to the floor.
Parrott was 32 years of age. He had been rather wild for several years, and was supposed to be suffering from consumption. He comes of a well known family of Waco, who have been notified of his death, and his body will be held pending instructions from them.
One brother, Will Parrott, and two married sisters reside in Waco. A telegram was sent them. Another brother, Bob Parrott, an insurance man, lived in Hot Springs, Ark. He was also notified. It is expected that they will take charge of the body.
Parrott came of one of the oldest and most prominent families of Waco. His father was colonel R.B. Parrott, who died about a year ago at Hot Springs. The father held a high position in the Waco business circles. The young man was given a good education and was trained for civil engineering.

Mrs. Hampton's Story.
When seen this morning, Mrs. Hampton, mother of the girl, who earns her living as a trained nurse, was heartbroken. As she talked, she sobbed convulsively. As the tears streamed down her face, Mrs. Hampton said:
"Mrs. Parrott and her husband had been out at the carnival shows together last night and afterwards went to a restaurant for supper. Before they started home the rain began and this delayed them. Knowing that I would be uneasy, my daughter telephoned me that she did not want to take a carriage but would be home as soon as it stopped raining.
"About 2 o'clock she and her husband came home in a hack and came into the house. He was intoxicated and in very bad humor. My daughter always sits up with me while I am watching with my mother, who is ill, and she came into the room as usual. Parrott kept coming to the door and asking her to come to bed. Finally my daughter told me she would go in the room and undress and by that time he be asleep. She left me, and, as the doors between the rooms were closed, I heard nothing to startle me, although they were talking in loud tones. This was about 3 o'clock.
"In a moment I heard a muffled report and as I opened my door I heard another report, which I knew to be that of a pistol. I rushed to the door of my daughter's room, but could not open it but a short distance, as Parrott had fallen on the floor against it. I aroused the other people in the house and we pushed open the door.
"My daughter and Parrott were married at Waco about seven years ago. I was opposed to the marriage and they ran away. Since that time they have lived in many places. He did not support her or treat her right, yet she loved him devotedly and followed him about from place to place. They were often entirely without funds and I often sent money to my daughter to get their trunks out of hotels, where they had been held for board bills.
"I have tried frequently to get my daughter to leave Parrott, but she always refused. When my mother was injured, I finally persuaded my daughter to leave him and come up to San Antonio and help nurse her grandmother.
"They were in Houston at the time and soon after my daughter came here Parrott followed and came to live at my house. I tried to get my daughter to leave him, but she would not consent to do so."


MRS. PARROTT HAS HAD A VARIED CAREER
The career of Mrs. Parrott was a romantic one, although filled with unfortunate episodes. She was evidently a woman with great charms for the other sex, and had been married three times. Her matrimonial experiences carried her from comfortable, even affluent circumstances, to that of poverty.

When in her teens, she met Parrott and despite the protests of her parents eloped with him. Owing to the unfortunate habits of Parrott the marriage was not a happy one. He was addicted to drink and often the young couple were in poverty and the assistance of Mrs. Parrott's mother alone kept them from actual suffering.

After about two years of this life she left Parrott and secured a divorce. A few months later she married a well known and prosperous business man named Sam Small and in a few months she went to New York with him to reside. She was surrounded by every comfort and many luxuries, and he was devoted to her. Extravagance on the part of Mrs. Parrott led to a divorce, which was secured in San Antonio. She then started for Denver to reside. While passing through Waco she met her former husband, Charles B. Parrott, who entreated her to remarry him, which she did, afterwards claiming that the step was taken because Parrott had threatened her life.

About two years ago Mr. and Mrs. Parrott were residing in San Antonio, when Mrs. Parrott was arrested on a complaint of a traveling physician, charged with stealing a diamond ring. Mrs. Parrott, who was addicted to morphine, claimed that she went to the physician for treatment, and that he presented her with the ring and also entreated her to secure a divorce and marry him. Proof of this was so conclusive that the case was thrown out of court.

Since that time Mrs. Parrott has lived in various cities in the United States with Parrott, and it was not until the first of February that she came here to reside.

Perpetual Growth for Waco is Their Hope
A new growth trust fund for Waco and McLennan County has been created with a $30,000 gift by Mr. and Mrs. Robert B. Parrott of Indianapolis, Ind.

Parrott, a native Wacoan and son of Col. Bob Parrott, the Waco pioneer whose Provident State Bank built the Provident building now being demolished at Fourth and Franklin, hopes many others who love Waco will add to the new community trust over the years.

The trust is called the Waco Perpetual Growth Foundation.

Its purpose is to use income exclusively for religious, charitable, scientific, literary and educational purposes within the City of Waco and the County of McLennan, Texas.
<>
Robert B. Parrott and Edith Heinze Parrott, his wife, have transferred to the Foundation to from its nucleus 330 shares of Boeing Airline Company stock and 156 shares of Lily Tulip Company stock. These shares were valued as of Feb. 6 at $30,019.50 based on closing quotations for the stock on the New York Stock Exchange.

Parrott has been hard at work setting up the new Foundation since a visit to Waco last summer. He has a niece, Miss Frances Zizinia, who lives at 3716 Hubby in Waco.

Robert Parrott, Native Wacoan, Benefactor, Dies
Robert Blanks Parrott, former Wacoan and founder of the Waco Perpetual Growth Foundation, died at 4 p. m, Saturday in an Indianapolis, Ind., hospital after a long illness. He was 82.

Funeral services will be held Tuesday morning in Indianapolis. Mr. Parrott was the uncle of Miss Frances Zizinia of 3716 Hubby Avenue.

He was born and reared in Waco, the son of the late Col. and Mrs. R.B. Parrott. He was the grandson of W.W. Downs. Col. Parrott's Provident State Bank built the old Provident Building which used to stand at the corner of Fourth and Franklin.

Mr. Parrott moved from Waco when he was 21 and finally settled in Indianapolis where he had lived for the past 25 years. At the time of his retirement about 10 years ago he was chairmn of the board of an Indianapolis insurance company.

In 1959, Mr. and Mrs. Parrott established the Waco Perpetual Growth Foundation with a gift of $30,000 in stock shares. A board of governors was appointed to control the foundation and three Waco banks were entrusted with stock shares.

The purpose of the foundation was to use the income exclusively for religious, charitable, scientific, literary and educational purposes with Waco and McLennan County.

The Waco foundation was patterned after a million-dollar Indianapolis foundation of the same type.

Mr. Parrott is survived by his wife and one niece in Waco.

Two Foundations Aiding Waco Was His Dream
The death last Saturday in Indianapolis of Robert B. Parrott holds much significance for Waco, past and future. Parrott's father was one of the men who helped build Waco from a trading village to a city many years ago. Parrott himself was born here and never forgot his early ties to Waco. Thereby hangs the future significance.

It will be recalled that about two years ago Mr. and Mrs. R.B. Parrott established with an initial gift of their own stock holdings the Waco Perpetual Growth Foundation. Local trustees were named and the original gift is still intact, though its size is not such to make the foundation at this time perform the benefactions which Mr. Parrott foresaw as its ultimate function.

The Waco Perpetual Growth Foundation is in embryo another Cooper Foundation, to translate it into terms understandable to Wacoans. Mr. Parrott conceived his idea from the Indianapolis Fund, a foundation created in that city by a single bequest and added to other gifts until it is now a multi-million-dollar enterprise distributing money each year to a host of good causes in Indianapolis. That is what Mr. Parrott and the local trustees hope will happen to Waco Perpetual Growth Foundation.

It can happen if the people give money and property to the Waco Perpetual Growth Foundation. Tax laws make this advantageous in many different ways for many different individuals. It is entirely conceivable that within a few years enough such gifts will have been made to Waco Perpetual Growth Foundation that the interest from them will permit grants and gifts on the scale now distributed by the well-known Cooper Foundation.

Mr. Parrott, not knowing in advance of the philanthropy of the late Madison Cooper Jr., had the same vision of a perpetual trust fund to assist in the many different activities that make Waco a better city in which to live. The Cooper Foundation trustees have set a magnificent pattern in carrying out Mr. Cooper's wishes in this regard. Some day, when Waco Perpetual Growth Foundation reaches a similar size, Waco will be indebted to Robert B. Parrott as it is today to Madison A. Cooper Jr. Of such public-spirited citizens is the strongest fabric of our society woven.

The son of John H. and Nancy Walker Parrott, deceased was born January 8, 1848, at the old Parrott home near this city and spent his entire life in Washington county. For many years, he was engaged in farming and stock raising but was forced to give up active work about ten years ago by complications developing from a fractured bone in his left leg, which occurred some twenty-five years ago, and which had given him considerable trouble during the past few years, it being the trouble which contributed to his fatal illness.

Mr. Parrott was twice married. On January 4, 1865, he was united in marriage with Miss Susan Rollin, which union was broken by the death of Mrs. Parrott on September 12, 1886. On September 20, 1887, he was married to Miss Nannie J. West, who died March 15, 1921.

"Uncle Bob," as Mr. Parrott was familiarly known, assisted with the annual program of the Washington County Fair here for thirty-seven consecutive years, during which time he was never tardy and was never prevented by illness from the faithful performance of his duties. He filled his position of ring gate keeper at fair here last August, a place he had filled for several years.

Mr. Parrott served as one of the guards at the hanging of Milor Alford, negro, on May 1, 1874, which took place in the lot near the present site of the Haydon Mill, this city, and was the oldest member of the guards serving on that occasion.
