No, I am not on the Parsons mailing list, but I will subscribe. Please forward my message to whomever might be interested in the meantime. Parsons was named after a famous military general from the Revolutionary War, I believe. I still would like to know where Pennington Gap is! All the best, Gary Clifton Are you on the Parsons mail list? I have a cousin Deanna whose family was from Pennington Gap . Her Gr-granm. was a Parsons too. I believe Samuel was related. John Parsons was my gr-gr-grandf. his daughter Laura was my gr-grandm. Edward ==== BOGGS Mailing List ==== My ancestors can hide...but they can't run!
