While the early years of the family in Maryland have been reconstructed, the records start to fail in the late 1700's. A few of the modern families can be traced to the early 1800's in Talbot county, but the connections to the main family remain elusive. The repeated use of the same few names over many branches and generations makes tree assembly very difficult, and many if not most of the on-line trees are haphazardly constructed. Even here, some of the currently listed branches lack proper documentation, so use carefully. Overall, a lot of reconstructive work is still needed to piece the overall family tree together. Having Y-DNA results from the unlinked branches below would help ensure they really belong to this family.

This family is frequently cited as the origin of the North Carolina Parrotts founded by Francis Parrott, but DNA precludes such a relationship.

Family origin: - Probably Somerset/Wiltshire, England

This family can trace its lineage back to the mid 1600's in Somerset, where this family is known as the Parrotts of Nunney. See the DNA Results.

Descendants of Gabriel Parrott, of Talbot Co., Maryland, appears 1670, dies 1704 in Calvert Co., Maryland Family ID #: 012b There are no known male descendants from this line. Although there is speculation that Gabriel was a son of William of Talbot, he is not mentioned in William's will. Nonetheless, both William and Gabriel's son used the same tree in their seals-- a fruit tree with scroll-like interwound roots-- suggesting William and Gabriel may have been brothers, or related in some other way.

Descendants of William Parrott, of Talbot & Calvert Co., Maryland, early 1650's Family ID #: 012c William married Anne Abrahams; her sister Sarah was married to Francis Parrott of Calvert County (see above), suggesting a relationship between Francis and William.

Unlinked families tracing back to Talbot Co., Maryland. Family ID #: 012d-k These families all trace back to Talbot county, and are probably related to the main Talbot county Parrott family. However, no member from these branches has done a DNA test, making it impossible to verify the relationship to the main tree. If related, paper records need to be found to connect them to the proper place within the main tree.
