Is there anyone who can give me some information of any kind (general or otherwise) about an area of Falmouth called "Shoemaker Town?" In the 1920s, my great-uncle, George Greene (or Green) PARSONS had a flour or grist mill on the banks of the Licking River, and the family lived up on a hill in "Shoemaker Town." In fact, at the bottom of that same hill, the Parsons ran a little grocery store back then and sold some of the flour they produced at the mill. There is a family rumor that in about 1925 George G. Parsons ran for sheriff of the area. We don't know if he won or not, or even if this rumor is true. In 1906, George Green Parsons (1883-1955) was married to Sarah Elizabeth "Bess" Preston (1886-1977), and they had the following children (spouses in parentheses): 1. Mary Lee "Mamie" "Pete" Parsons, (Carl Herbert Hatley), b. 1907, d. 1998 2. Anna Elizabeth "Bud" Parsons (Ralph William Fossett & Charles J. Klaber), b. 1910, d. 2001 3. Ethel B. Parsons (William McKinley Williams), b. 1914, d. 1997 4. George Frederick "Jack" Parsons (Virginia Peale) Still Living 5. Clara Virginia "Jenny" Parsons (James Edward Rawlings), Still Living 6. Roy Carlton Parsons (Mildred Loreander Hudson), Still Living I would surely be thrilled with any information you could come up with! And thanks!
