The right could be (and often was) sold, and could be employed by the buyer in any county. One needs to be cautious in connecting the fact of a headright under a name with its use in a specific warrant in a given county. >From Somerset land records: Re John Parsons: The earliest certain John Parsons in the county was the brother of Peter Parsons, who evidently entered Somerset ca 1672. There are several candidate John Parsons or Persons in the Early Settlers index from the patents, but this one can’t be immediately identified. By the land and probate records, John Parsons (brother of Peter) left no children, as his LW&T mentions only nephews, the sons of Peter: A John Parsons was among the 50 headrights used by Richard Bennett of Virginia for his 2500 ac survey of BENNETTS ADVENTURE made on 07 Jun 1665 (see MD Patents 8:488). Bennett had acquired (bought) these rights variously from several parties, and there is no necessary reason to identify this John Parsons as the same seen over a decade later acquiring land in Somerset. On the other hand, BENNETTS ADVENTURE was at the mouth of Passerdyke Creek along the north side of Wicomico Creek (the border between modern Somerset and Wicomico counties, almost adjoining the properties below. On 19 Jul 1677 John Parsons had survey made for the 150 ac DENTRY (or DAINTRY), patented to him on 06 May 1679 (Patents 20:230). By So Deeds MA:932, on 20 Aug 1688 John Parsons sold it to Judith Brereton [daughter of William Brereton et ux. Sarah Brereton {of Wicomico)], for 3000 lb of tobacco. On 20 Jul 1677 John Parsons had survey made for the 50 ac CANTERBURY (Patents 20:189), which he shortly sold to Alexander Mitchell, who patented it on 06 May 1679. By So Deeds MA:482, on 10 Dec 1677 Samuel Smith of Little Wicomico, Northumberland Co, Virginia sold John Parsons (planter) 170 ac of the 300 ac SECOND CHOICE (Patents 19:315 + 21:033). This land was not specifically named in his LW&T (below), but in 1734 it was taxed for Robert Harris of Pocomoke Hundred. On 25 May 1689 John Parsons had survey made for the 100 ac BEARS QUARTER (Patents C #3:225 + WD:068), patented to him on 10 Nov 1695. By the LW&T of John Parsons (of Wicomico) – MD Wills 13:424 and So Wills EB9:014, made 18 May 1709, proved 01 Apr 1712 – all his lands went to his nephew John Parsons – evidently both the above tracts. Next, re Peter Parsons: By Patents 15:418-419 and 18:035, he transported himself into Somerset in 1672. By So Deeds MA:778, on 09 Mar 1685/6 Richard Stevens et ux. Abigail Stevens sold Peter Parsons 200 ac of the 800 ac GODDARDS FOLLY (Patents 19:566 + CB#3:284). On 13 Nov 1685 Peter Parsons had survey made on the 200 ac BACON QUARTER (Patents 22:233 + NS#2:269), patented on 01 Jun 1687 (actually after his death, following:) By the LW&T of Peter Parsons – MD Wills 4:246 and So Wills EB5:019, made 05 Nov 1686, and proved 28 Mar 1687 – he bequeathed his 200 ac dwelling plantation [evidently GODDARDS FOLLY] to eldest son Peter Parsons and 200 ac of "The Forest" [evidently = BACON QUARTER] to his second son John Parsons. So the sense is that all early Parsons in Somerset descend from Peter, not John.

Hi List, It seems that one way to get research out on the web these days is to use a blog.? As I am still (after 10 years) in search of the ancestor of my James Madison DeHority (1819-1891)?in Delaware, I thought I would post the address to my blog to the list: www.AncestorTracking.blogspot.com Thanks to all who take the time to look!

I didn't think about Accomac the Court Records Series shows the following: Thomas Parsons is claimed by Devorax Browne Nov. 1671. Edward Moore jr.sold 200 acres to Jno.Parsons of Northhampton County Signed 23 July 1674 15 February 1675/6 Jno. Parker and his wife Ame(y) of Matapany sold to Jno.Parsons Carpenter 100 acres of the Mosongo(Masongo) Branch and bounded by George West ( formerly land of Robert Hill) and Robery Walker They are the earliest I found.

Kathleen, Thank You. Bear's Quarter was patented by John's(1) Son, John(2), and most of the others (not sure of Charles' Lot) by Grandsons and John(2) Nephew John(Peter)(3).

Need to use my spell check..Parsons of course.

It looks like there may have been 2 of them( at least) one in St.Mary's and one on the Eastern Shore around the same time: Kent MD he had the following:Beaver Dams, Charles' Lot,Parson's Addition,Well Meaning and in Somerset Bears' Quarter.. actually looks like 3 of them? John Parosn also in Talbot. Unless he was very busy as most of those lands were settled beginning c. 1683. Kathleen

Listers, I am wondering if there is an Index of early DelMarVa land patents, for the earliest years of settlement. I guess I would say early to mid 1600's and in the area of Accomack/ Northampton (VA) and Old Somerset, Somerset and Worcester (MD). Specifically looking for info on John (Jno) PARSONS. I am just rejuvenating my research and when I was last looking their was questioning of who/which John Parsons was and when/how he arrived. Any snippet will be helpful. I am hoping to make a roadtrip to the Shore early this Spring and make a stop at Nabb Center for sure. I always go to Worcester Co Library, too. Any other stops I should make? I'll probably try to do my own little "Cemtrek" as well. Thanks, Alan Townsend Looking for PARSONS, TRUITT, BRIDDLE, GORDY, LAYFIELD

Wow, that is fast. I guess I could hear something soon, too. I am especially anxious to prove this patriot and honor him because he died at Valley Forge.
