  • This is the second of two Parrott famiiies who live in Stewart and Houston counties in Tennessee. The earliest known ancestor is James Nelson Parrott, b 1856 in Stewart county. Unfortunately, this James frequently gets confused with a member of the other family in the area, namely James Andrew Parrott, who was born around the same time, thus entangling two family trees together. James Nelson Parrott was the son of Enoch Washburn Parrott, thus connecting this branch to the other Parrott family in the area.

    Notes: Faulty Wiring Seen
    Fire Death Cause


    Faulty electrical wiring beneath the floor of the apartment of Miss Shirley Parrott, 26, probably caused her death by smoke inhalation early yesterday, Fire Department officials said.

    Miss Parrott, of Apt. B-12 Tennessee Ridge Apartments, 860 Murfreesboro Road, was dead at the scene of the 4:30 a.m. fire, said Ray Aldridge, arson investigator for the Metro Fire Department.

    "IT APPEARS she attempted to get out of her bedroom window but she got nauseous and made a break for the front door but only made it to the bedroom doorway before collapsing," Aldridge said.

    Aldridge said the fire started between the ceiling of the basement and the living room floor of Miss Parrott's apartment.

    "The wiring looks like electrical wiring would look in a 20-year-old building,"Aldridge said of the apartments which used to be known as the Executive House apartments. No one else was injured in the blaze, according to fire officials

    Funeral services for Miss Parrott will be at 2 p.m. tomorrow at Pettus, Owen & Wood Funeral Home. Burial will be in Harpeth Hills Cemetery.
