Posted on: Bradford County Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Fl/Bradford/204 Surname: Parrish, Monk, deSha, Beasley ------------------------- Mary/Maria or Mariah Parrish married Ezekiel Parrish (son of Josiah Parrish (son of Henry Parrish and Mary Ann Monk) who came to Columbia County about 1822). Date of marriage: 1831. Maria/Mariah Parrish died at nearly 100 in 1905 at her home in Hague FL and was buried in the "Hatchett Creek Cemetery", according to the obituary in the Gainesville Sun (see Alachua County Genweb board for Obituaries). Grave not found as yet. Two older Parrish daughters were married to Franklin deSha: Adaline, and after Adaline's death, Eliza Anna. A son mentioned in the obit. was William. This family is in all three Alachua County Census records on line (1850/60/70 but Ezekiel is mispelled Elizabeth in the 1870 record) Maria was a schoolgirl of 14 in Augusta GA (also according to her obit. Without a last name hard to locate in the Richmond County GA area though I have tried using the name Fay/Faye which some researchers have as her last name but no one is sure. Are there Parrish family members out there who are descendants of this woman who can contribute info about her maiden name, background, parents etc? Please and thanks.
