Hello List: Need information on the parents of Lucinda and Mary Parris: Mother: Sarah [nee ?] PARRIS WARD b. GA Father: Mr. ?? Parris b. England I am looking to find the parents of sisters, Lucinda Ann PARRIS and Mary PARRIS. Lucinda was b. 1827. Some census records state she was b. in Georgia and others state AL. Mary was b. abt 1825. The 1850 census states Mary was b. in AL. Sarah WARD was their mother. I do not know the first name of Mr. PARRIS, their father. Perhaps Sarah WARD remarried after her marriage to Mr. PARRIS, or WARD could be her maiden name, pursuant to the custom of widows taking back their maiden names. Lucinda PARRIS m. Simon Hall NELSON (son of Thomas NELSON and Katurah HALL of Carteret Co., NC) 1845 in Sumter Co., AL. On the marriage record there is listed a bondsman, John H. GARY. Sarah WARD signed consenting for daughter, Lucinda to marry. Mary PARRIS m. David TODD Feb 25, 1845 Sumter Co., AL. On the marriage record, the bondsman, a William TODD certified that Mary was the daughter of Sarah WARD, and that Mary was over 18. I obtained from Sumter Co., AL Probate a "Letter of Permission to Marry" signed by Lucinda's mother, Sarah WARD. Lucinda married second husband, Moses Hiram HALL in 1866 Mobile Co., AL and resided in Baldwin Co., AL with their children, and her children from her first marriage to Simon Hall NELSON.

There is a Thomas TODD age 44 b. in Georgia listed with the household, but I not know who he is in relation to David. David, Mary and their daughter, Jasa C.
