[or-roots] Parrott Family

Tue Apr 9 18:37:59 PDT 2002

Gary though I would attach my notes so you
might make a connection

Parrot, Rev Joseph E. Died Sept 3, at Lafayette born Mo. Dec 21, 1821 to
Oregon in 1848 married Sept 17, 1851 to Susan Garrison D. Aug 21, 1869
married
2 May 31, 1870 Mrs. L.A. Worden Pacific Cristian Advocate 1864-1890
------------------------------------------------------ dear sharon, i'ce lso
cc'd someone who had sent me info(pmml at navicom.com) way back on rev joseph
and
some of his marriages, but no info on children/jeptha - so i had no
proovable
but link saved it just in case)

well some of this may come to you as a bit of a
shocker - i sat down last night and went through some stuff i have held in
my
"close but can't prove the link" file - tidbits i'd found during my searches
that i would save -  info that seemed like it should link up w/ jeptha ( i.e
right years and locations etc.) but could never get to fit.  years ago (in
the
late 1960's and early 70's) i became interested in the family history and
started asking questions/digging. i was told at that time that it would be
difficult because "grandpa parrott was a circuit riding preacher and had a
family in each town" (this was my grandfather, enoch carroll parrott sr's
grandfather and jeptha's father ...)one of the documents that i have from
that
era has to do with e.c. parrott sr attempting to get a licence and a
passport,
but there was no official record of his birth - so he submitted, among other
things, an affidavit signed in 1947 by ashnah j (last name illegible) who
was
present at his (e.c parrott sr.) birth, and he was her nephew - i did
everything i
could to decipher the last name for a clue in my
searches - came up with beddes, geddes and now
understand thanks to you, sharon, that it was VEDDER !! in 1947, she was
living in washougal washington.

so, firstly i show joseph e parrott sr. and joseph e parrott jr traveling to
oregon in a wagon train in 1844 - ( for full roster of the 1844 wagon
trains,
including both joseph e parrotts, check out the
following website www.teleport.com/~sflora/1844.htm)

they both show up in the 1850 clackamas county
washington, oregon territory in the WA 1850
Territorial Census joseph sr id # wa007114, joseph jun. is waoo7116

understanding there was multiple marriages on the part of joseph e parrott
jr
(aka "grandpa parrott to my grandfather e.c. parrott sr) some of this
information that seemed to contradict/overlap now becomes clearer.
 joseph e parrott jr, aka reverend joseph parrott i show did marry:

in 1851 susan garrison (i had no info on their
children) in salem, marion county

in 1861 - there is record of joseph e parrott jr
marrying eleanor e. fish in clackamas county oregon -(Book 1 Page 132) -
they
were divorced in 1862 ( case 02744) clackamas county oregon - this marriage
overlaps his marriage to susan garison - there was a child i believe edward
w
or walter edward parrott who died in alaska 28 august 1928 in Wrangler
alaska
- no children

in 1870 - on 31 may i show rev joseph e parrott
marrying a L.A. Worden (perhaps this was lydia ann goodrich worden ??) - who
was shown as Pacific
Christian Advocate 1864-1890

now from jeptha onward - jeptha married zetta mae rowe 03 may 1891 in latah,
latah county idaho  zetta was born 20 december 1875 in missouri, died 28
february 1930 and is buried in lincoln memorial park cemetery grave 14 lot
156
section fairview, portland oregon) daughter of william clifford rowe (born
13
april 1851 MO, died 12 april 1915 vancouver washington) and elnora josephine
ormsby (born 7 august 1857 Indianna, died 11 november 1904) - william and
elnora were
married 7 february 1875 and  traveled from missouri to oregon territory and
back to missouri, then back again to avon, latah county idaho during their
marriage and had 13 children - i have traced the rowes' side back to 1776.

children of jeptha and zetta were:

1.   clifford parrott married margaret (?) lived in rogue river area of
oregon
- had twins jim and bob parrott and a daughter also named margaret aka peggy
parrott - no dates on these yet i'm afraid

2.   enoch carroll parrott sr
     born 8 dec 1896 in pullman, whitman county,
washington

enoch carroll parrott sr married viva vivian courter (born 26 july 1898,linn
county oregon - died 29 august 1971 portland or)- daughter of eva stringer
courter and george courter

e.c. and viva
married on 20 october 1917 - had only one child, my father enoch carroll
parrott jr.
(born 6 november 1926 portland oregon died 17 august 1979 portland oregon)
he
married willa jean bradford(born 23 september 1926 town creek alabama -
still
living)

i'm the firstborn 23 july 1957 carole jean parrott my brother 18 may 1961
craig bradford parrott

whew ! puzzle pieces falling into place at last - i 'm cetain there are
errors
and things to be corrected - but will now focus on getting
documentation/copies of marriages/divorce etc. to clairfy the known facts -
i
also have at least one photo of jeptha - and lots of other bits and pieces
from e.c. parrott sr. on down - photos, documents, deeds etc.  i seem to be
the only person in the family interested in being the keeper - can send
photocopies if you're interested (don't have a scanner) - and this may help
identify some of the odd bits i've kept but couldn't connect - your info
will
keep me busy for weeks confiriming and compiling data now that i have the
missing link - i'll keep you posted w/ any new or corrected data i find.

this is so exciting - wheeee ! not to mention a bit of ye old family scandal
actually proved!  also bears telling that both my grandfather e.c. parrott
sr
and my father e.c. jr were atheists/disavowed all interest in any form of
religion or church - maybe it's because they felt it hypocritical ??
