General Notes: From Bob Parrott, 3 Oct 2014:

Lived in Edgefield Co SC, Columbia County GA, moved to Conecuh Co/Wilcox Co AL with the relatives of Sarah Travis, and settled at a spot named Travis Ford. Sarah Travis was probably the aunt of William Barrett Travis, Alamo commander.

According to my records, William was born in 1811 in Georgia-- he was 49 years old in 1860, in Sabine Parish. His father was Robert Parrott ("old Robert Parrott") who married twice -- (1) Sarah Travis, with whom he had at least 6 children, William, Mary, Lucy, Sarah, Elizabeth, James; Sarah Travis died in 1824, when baby James was a few days or weeks old. (2) Eliza Polk, with whom he had at least 5 children, Eunice, Susan, Robert, John, Eliza. (There was a slave son named George, who died a few years after Old Robert.). Old Robert and William became seriously estranged when Robert married Eliza Polk, who was much only slightly older than William. Father and son were never on good terms again. Old Robert moved to Wilcox / Conecuh County Al ca 1820., and then to Claiborne Parish and finally Sabine Parish In 1839.

"According to tradition the five brothers quarreled, two went on west, one to Texas and one to California who struck gold and became a millionaire; one returned from whence he came and two remained in Louisiana, a Robert and a William Parrott."

Death of a General

(Additional information with regards to the "Death of a General" -- On 22 July 2000, this message was received with regards to a different account on the death of General Alfred Mouton. The account, unedited, follows: "A note on the death of Gen Alfred Mouton at the battle of Mansfield: to my grandfather (John Robert Parrott), Mouton was a great personal hero. During the battle, my grandfather was stationed at the edge of the ravine, stationed where he could see Mouton's charge across the field, and where he could see him felled by the sniper's bullet. At the same moment, He (JRParrott) was also wounded, in the upper left arm, by another Federal sniper. But he dragged himself over to where Mouton lay dying, on the open field, and he held the general in his arms as he died. In my grandfather's words, "our blood flowed together." When the stretcher bearers came to take Mouton's body away, they found my grandfather still cradling the dead general in his arms. I still have a silk handkerchief my grandfather was carrying inside his uniform (gift of his fiance/wife), which he took out and wiped away Mouton's blood with it.

The blood stains are still there. Holding Mouton as he died was -- in my grandfather's words -- the highest moment of the war." This account is by John Robert Parrott, Pvt., Co. H., A. Crescent/Cons. Crescent Regiment Louisiana Infantry. John Robert Parrott was by occupation: a planter and banker. He was married to Alda Agnes Woods (1846-1927). This marriage produced ten issues, including four sons and six daughters. John Robert survived the war and died in September 1918. He is laid to rest at the Parrott Cemetery (family cemetery), near Zwolle, Louisiana.

Contributer and contact is: Robert E. Parrott, Grandson to the late John Robert Parrott. An application for Pension Benefits from the State of Louisiana is on file for John Robert Parrott and/or his widow.

From Links That Bind, p 241:
"John R." soldier in the Confederate army and following the war was one of the first school board members in the parish and held that position longer than anyone else. He became a large landowner and was always addressed as Honorable John R. Parrott."

========
From his grandson, 11 Oct 2014: in 1893 my grandfather John Robert Parrott sold the right of way to some property he owned in Sabine Parish to the Kansas City Southern Railroad when the KCS was first building their rail line through the parish. He retained the mineral rights but apparently forgot to tell the family about the transaction About 4 years ago the Comstock Oil & Gas Co began to drill a natural gas well on the property and discovered the minerals rights still belonging to Parrott heirs. I was contacted by an agent who needed to know if there were heirs still living. My brother (88) and I are the only grandchildren of the original 34 still living. I worked with the Comstock Co and provided the names and addresses of 36 living descendants who are now recipients of the well's revenue. The process of finding all of them was an interesting process Some of the people I contacted thought I was a scam trying to get money out of them...

----------
John R. Parrott, a successful farmer of Zwolle, was born in the state of Alabama, March 11, 1839, and moved with his father to Northeast Louisiana in the early '40s and from there to Sabine parish in 1854, where he has since resided. He served as a soldier in the Confederate army, was seriously wounded at the battle of Mansfield, April 8, 1854, after which he was honorably dischared. At the close of the war he married and reared a splendid family, three of his sons being successful physicians. While Mr. Parrott has been largely occupied in farming and stock raising, he has lent aid and encouragement to various enterprises and has been very instrumental in the development of the fine section in which he resides. For many years he was a member of the Parish School Board, and held that public position longer than any official in the history of the parish, and he has always been ready to answer the call of duty. His record as a citizen and official is ample tesitmony of the high esteem in which he is held by his fellow citizens.

Rita Thelma David Parrott, a tough, terrific, strong, wonderful French Acadian woman and Devout Catholic, was born in Church Point, Louisiana, January 15, 1925 and peacefully left this world May 19, 2011. Rita moved to New Orleans in the sixties and found her final resting place in Ponchatoula, Louisiana where she lived with, and was cared for, by her son Williamson David "Bill" Parrott, and his wife Eva McCain Parrott. Her parents were the late Gilbert and Aline David of Church Point, La.

"ReeRee" as she was so lovingly called by her nieces, nephews, grandchildren and great-grandchildren will always be remembered for her southern hospitality, bottomless generosity and energy, Louisana charm, kindness and utmost devotion to family. Her great joy in life was raising her six children, especially taking trips with her younger three boys and educating them.

It was impossible to find a better cook\emdash gumbo, shrimp mosca, maqué choux, Cajun roast and crawfish etouffee were among some of her specialties. All meals were followed by her famous chocolate Pie or home- made cookies or cakes. Rita's dinner table was a magnet for festive fun gatherings. Friends and "stop bys" were always welcome. Many "Taste Buds" are forever imprinted with her great culinary magic.

One dear granddaughter said about "Ree Ree", "The best thing about being a Parrott has always been having Rita Parrott as my grandmother. "Ree Ree", your "old bones" can rest now. I love you, my little "Ree."

Her Motto was "Education is the Key" -- she was also a big fan of clean living , strict Catholicism and hard work. She was a stellar role model for those she leaves behind.
