Another of the early Virginia Parrotts is that of Nathaniel and Penelope Irby Parrott. Its family tree is one of the last to be reconstructed. This is an attempt to place the bits and pieces of information floating around into one place, so as to aid future research. The origin of Nathaniel Parrott had long been a mystery, as has the origin of Luke Parrott. A "Delivered to Luke Parrott" notation on the left margin (see photo, below) on a deed probated in Pittsylvania county on 16 January 1786, whereby Thorpe Parrott is selling land to his father Nathaniel, shows Luke is of that family; Y-DNA from Nathaniel's and Luke's descendants show them to be of the same family as Richard Perrot of Middlesex. The oldest Nathaniel is not the right age to be a grandson or great-grandson of Richard, making it most likely that Nathaniel is descended from Richard's brother, Robert. Robert has been a bit of mystery, and there is only one known colonial reference to his existence: On a deed dated 4 January 1672, whereby Richard Perrot of Middlesex County gent., specifies that "... and in case of no issue [my lands] go to my brother Robert Parrott, two eldest sons and their heirs." The family tree reconstructed below was reconstructed with help from Ada Brunton, Gary Carr, Beaul Hunkapillar, Danny Knight and Harald Rekstan. It is still very speculative in some parts-- so use carefully! Previous versions of this tree included William (b 1809), as a son of Robert and Sarah Travis Parrott. William married Nancy Lee. DNA studies show that this branch was misplaced, and belongs to an unrelated Parrott family. Therefore, this branch has been moved to its own file. Most recently an additional 2 generations of Williams ancestors were moved from the Nathaniel line to the William line based on the weight of the evidence. See the DNA results & additional family information. Additional DNA results are always helpful--- If you are a male from this line, sign up to get tested!
