     He married Pauline Galloway.

     He married Anne Parrott.^1,2 Jonah was born at [West] Virginia, USA, circa 1818.³ He appeared on the census of 1850 at Wood, [West] Virginia, USA; Living with Anne's parents, William and Elizabeth Parrott.⁴

     Margaret Burchard Her last name is given as Birdsal in First Settlers of Passaic. My aunt Arleen Sifleet's notes had it as Birdsall. I am casting my vote for Burchard, given by a direct descendant, Glen Sanger. This is supported by the obituary for her son Abraham Clark Parrott on Dale Parrott's website.

Ohio Marriages, 1803-1900, Ancestry.com has:

"McAfee, John D.
Spouse: Parrott, Margaret Marriage Date: 2 Mar 1862
County: Athens State: OH"

Since Abraham died 1853 , I wonder if Margaret (Burchard) Parrott is this one and she married again. Margaret was born at Ohio, USA, circa 1814.² She married Abraham Parrott at Gurnsey, Ohio, USA, on 9 November 1837.^3,1,4 Margaret Burchard appeared on the census of 1860 at Coolville, Athens, Ohio, USA; A few doors from her former husband's parents and brother.⁵ Margaret died in January 1889 at Hall, Nebraska, USA.^6,7

From his obiturary (via Dale Parrott):

"John Mitchel Parrott, son of Sylvester and Henriettta Parrott, was born at Ontario, Richland County, Ohio, March 25, 1837.

In 1853 he moved to Steuben County, Ind., where he resided until August of 1861, when he enlisted in Company A, 44th Indiana Volunteers.

"David O. Parrott 1844 - 1925

David O. Parrott, son of Sylvester and Henrietta Parrott, was born at Crestline, Ohio, March 26, 1844, and died at the home of his son, Lee, in South Bend, December 17, 1925. When a small child his parents came to Stueben county, locating near Metz. Here he lived for a number of years, later moving with his family to a farm near Pleasant Lake.
In 1866 he was married to Mary Brandeberry, who preceded him in death nineteen years ago. To this union were born three children, Louella A. Cross, Clyde and Lewell E. Parrott. Clyde and Louella passed to the higher life some years ago. One son, two brothers and numerous other relatives survive who are richer because of their memories of him.
For many years, in connection with his farm life, he worked at the trade of carpenter. As a workman he was conscientious and painstaking. He was unassuming in his relation to his fellowmen, yet all recognized his integrity and kindliness of spirit. His life was not without its sorrows, but these he bravely and unflinchingly. Carrying his own cares easily, he was sympathetic and tender to those who were burdened. He met adversity with courage. His day of service for others ended suddenly when he suffered a serious accident. This prevented him from further activity in the affairs of life, but in his inactivity he was both cheery and content. For long years God had been his friend and the sunset of life found him certain of the "joy which cometh in th morning."

David was born at Crestline, Crawford, Ohio, USA, on 26 March 1844.^4,5,6 He married Mary Jane Brandeberry on 23 April 1866.^7,8 David died on 17 December 1925 at Lewell's House, South Bend, St Joseph, Indiana, USA, at age 81.^9,10 His body was interred at Pleasant Lake, Steuben, Indiana, USA, at Pleasant Lake.¹¹

"Celebrate Anniversary

Entire Family and Friends Join Celebration for Estimable Citizens on Sunday

During the past week in the home of Mr. & Mrs. Henry S. Parrott happiness has reigned supreme. To them has been given the blessed privilege their golden wedding anniversary and also Mrs. Parrott's birthday.
All of their children were present and all of the grandchildren except one, Robert Parrott; Mrs. Elizabeth Schiefer and her daughter Margaret came from their home in Galion, O. last Friday; Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Schiefer and daughter Miriam , of Syracuse, Ohio; Mr. and Mrs. Herbert C. Parrott and son Ted, of South Bend, also daughter Mildred of Ann Arbor, Mich., and Mr. and Mrs. Emmett Parrott and daughter Alice Marie, of St. Joseph, Mo. arrived Sat. Their youngest daughter, Prof. Alice, of Tri-State College, resides in the family home with her parents.
It was a happy reunion, the first in five years that Mr. and Mrs. Parrott have had their family together and once again on Saturday and Sunday the group gathered around the board in the family home in this city.
Sunday afternoon at a reception held in honor of the day, relatives, neighbors, and friends called to extend felicitations to the bride and groom of a half a century. Nieces and nephews came from near-by towns as well as from Angola, and Mrs. Parrott's Sunday school class called in a body. Mr. and Mrs. Parrott were recipients of a number of gifts, honoring them and the occasion. Dainty refreshments were served by the daughters and granddaughters.
On the 14th of Feb. 1881 Henry S. Parrott and Jennie Anspaugh came to Angola in company with their friends, Homer Robinson and Miss Jennie Lash, and , in a double wedding ceremony were married by the past of the Christian Church, Elder A. S. Hale. Both Mr. and Mrs. Robinson have past away.
Mr. and Mrs. Parrott spent the early years of their married lives and reared their family on their farm in Williams Co., Ohio, near Columbia. They became prominent citizens in that community and made many friends, still enjoying and extended acquaintance in their old neighborhood, which hold them in high esteem.
In 1921, Mr. and Mrs. Parrott, because of failing health, left the farm and and came to Angola, where they purchased the Mrs. Clara Burkhart residence on W. Maumee St. Here as in Williams, Co., they have made friends in the community and the Christian church, where they are devoted and consistent members.
We extend congratulations and best wishes to Mr. and Mrs. Parrott, and trust they may enjoy health and happiness for many years yet to come.
