This family's Patriarch appears in the Virgin Islands in the late 1800's. Today, his descendants are still on the island, though some are in New York and elsewhere. The family has remained very small. At this point, not all Parrotts on the Islands can be linked by the paper trail. The assumption is that they are from the same family, but that is not a foregone conclusion by any means. There is a lot more work that needs to be done to put the family tree together, but records are sparse.

1. Christian Parrott .

Christian married Eliza Joshua.

Children from this marriage were:

+ 2 M    i. Ozias S. Parrott was born on 24 Dec 1887 in St. Thomas, Virgin Islands and died on 15 Mar 1968 in St. Thomas, Virgin Islands at age 80.

+ 3 M    ii. Morales Parrott was born on 13 Jan 1888 in St. Thomas, Virgin Islands and died on 12 Feb 1944 in Manhattan, New York Co., New York at age 56.

2. Ozias S. Parrott (Christian¹) was born on 24 Dec 1887 in St. Thomas, Virgin Islands and died on 15 Mar 1968 in St. Thomas, Virgin Islands at age 80.

General Notes: In early 1980, the Government of the Virgin Islands (the "Government") instituted proceedings to condemn a number of parcels of land in Estate Nisky, St. Thomas. The record titleholder of two of the parcels was the recently deceased Ozias Parrott; the Government's petition therefore named as respondents the estate of Ozias Parrott and six of his twelve children.

<>

1 The other five children named were Austin Parrott, Mallory Parrott, Harry Parrott, Dennis Parrott, and Morales Parrott. This appeal was filed in the names of Roy Parrott, the estate, and Austin, Mallory, Harry, Dennis, and Morales Parrott; the order appealed from, however, relates in terms only to Roy Parrott, and we therefore have designated him "appellant."

3 Following his receipt of the petition, Morales Parrott did notify the Government by letter of the existence of six other children of Ozias Parrott, all of whom resided in New York City. The Government subsequently amended its petition to include Lorna Reed, Reseda Williams, Theodore Edmead, Audrey Michael, Hilda Parrott, and Ina Parrott (who is apparently the widow of the twelfth child). The letter stated that the Parrott children living in New York all objected to the Government's estimating the land's value at $38,500 and asserted that the land was worth almost twice that amount. The letter further advised that "a letter is being sent to Roy Parrott this date to coordinate our objectives as stated, along with a request for follow-up action in this civil matter with your office to effect a defense for our demand of $66,276.00 as just compensation for our property."
