     ELIZABETH "Betsey" HAND First Settlers:

p 174: "Betsey married William Parrot, son of Thomas Parrot."

p 313: "William, who married Betsey Hand, daughter of Benjamin, went to Ohio, and had children"

Aunt Arlien's notes, p 3-:
"their Father Wm Parrott - b. (born in) Morristown m. Betsy Hand. came from Eng. ..."

England is suspect because both her parents were b NJ.

See husband WILLIAM PARROTT's text for more informationg on BETSEY HAND. ELIZABETH was born at New Jersey, USA, on 20 October 1783.^3,2,4,5,6 As of circa 1809,her married name was PARROTT.⁷ She married WILLIAM PARROTT at New Jersey, USA, circa 1809.⁷ ELIZABETH died on 13 July 1865 at age 81.^8,5 Her body was interred at Troy Township, Athens, Ohio, USA, at Bethel Cemetery.^9,5

     William was born. He married Abigail Parrott.²

     He married Joanna Vashti Budd.²

     She married Parrot Reynolds.² Joanna Vashti Budd First Settlers, p 121:

"Joanna Vashti Budd married, 1st, Parrot Reynolds, son of William; 2d, Noble Barry, from Ireland."

Birdsal and Hoffman appear to be errors in this list.

Arlien Sifleet recorded the following in her notes about William and Betsy: "Came from New Jersey to Washington Co., Pa. 1817. Moved from there to Crestline in 1831. Moved from there to Mt. Gilead - lived there 6 months. Moved from there to Gerncey Co., O. - lived there 10 yrs. Moved from there to within 8 miles to Parkersburg Va. Moved from there to Athens Co., where they died.''

From Dale Parrott's website:

Sifleet Notebook:

"[he] b. Morristown buried in Coolville, Athens Co., Ohio"
The actual cited cemetery location (Jane Whiteman) is:

"Bethel Cemetery, Troy Township Atens County Ohio, Range 11, township 5, SW 1/4 section 32, on west die of State Rt, No 7 across from Jct. of Town Road. 421 and State Route 7, behind residence of Chester Frederick. The Bethel M.E. Church is about 1/2 mile away from the cemetery, near Coolville, Ohio. I recorded this cemetery 27 May 1974, and have pictures of the church bldg, and some of the stones (but not Parrotts).
...
William Parrott, died Oct 5, 1865, age 77 years, 10 months and 28 days.

Elizabeth, wife of William Parrott, died July 13, 1865, age 81 years, 8 months, and 24 days."

The tombstone calculator gives 7 Nov 1787 as his birthdate. It gives 20 Oct 1783 as hers.

Cemetery Records, Athens Co, p 21, gives the same info except death date for Elizabeth is 31 Jul 1865. This would give her birthdate as 7 Nov 1783.

1820 PA Census, Washington Co, Morris Twp:
     
"Wm Parrot 2 1 - - 1 - 3 - - 1 - - - - 1"

or Wm Parrot 2M 0-9, 1M 10-15, 1M 26-44, 3F 0-9, 1F 26-44, 1 person in agriculture.

Our data would give, for 1820,
Wm Parrott 2M 0-9, 1M 10-15, 1M 26-44, 3F 0-9, 1F 26-44! This assumes that Thomas and Daniel were both born after 1820 census. It doesn't change if Electa was b 1813 or 1816.

1860 OH Census, Troy Twp, Athens Co, Coolville, roll 934, p 105, dwelling 786, family 766:

"786 766 William Parrott 74 M Retired Farmer 800 152 N Jersey
Elizabeth Parrott 77 F N Jersey"

Implies WILLIAM b c 1786, ELIZABETH c 1783, which checks.

Also:

"785 765 Thomas Parrott 38 M Stonemason 1100 300 Penn
Margaret Parrott 35 F Ohio
William Parrott 12 M Ohio
Plat H Parrott 11 M Ohio
Thomas E Parrott 6 M Ohio
Simeon S Parrott 4 M Ohio
Harriet D? Parrott 1 F Ohio"

So Thomas would have been b c 1822 as per theory above.

1840 OH Census, Guernsey Co:

"William Parrett - - - 2 - - - 1 ... - - - - - - - 1 - - 1"

or William Parrett 2M 15-19, 1M 50-59, 1F 50-59, 1F 80-89.

Our data would give, for 1 Jun 1840,
William Parrott 2M 15-19, 1M 50-59, 1F 50-59. Presumably an old female relative is living with them. The two teenagers are Thomas b c 1822 (implies age 18) and presumably Daniel, probably b c 1824.
