Dear Becky: You are most certainly welcome. I was happy to share the Parsons Family Bible records. As far as George Parsons, Jr. being the father of Elijah, I found that through an abstract of Probate Records of Worcester County, Maryland, found on www.ocmuseum.org . The abstract states that the Will date was October 18, 1782 and was probated January 13, 1809. Listed as sons were: Eldest son Jordan, George (executor), Elijah. Daughters Nelly, Abigail, Leah. Then sons Jehu and Hery. Grandchildren Obediah Dishroon and Tempy Dishroon. There are land parcels left to the sons. I did not have a chance to examine the land records nor the original Will. I freely admit that could well be an error on my part, but this was the only connection I could find between Elijah and George. When I was working on the Parsons Family, I was pressed for time and I'm sure that I made some errors in my work. However, my late boss was content and in the text I prepared I added a disclaimer stating that even with due diligence errors may have occurred. I would suggest looking at the original Will (if possible) and checking out the land records on the properties listed in the Will. Hope this helps, Teresa A. Derrickon nee Chandler Thank you, Teresa, for posting this valuable information.? <Some background information: William A. Parsons is the son of Elijah Parsons nd Sally Mitcalf.> Ruth T. Dryden, in her Parsons Family, at page 13, shows William A. Parsons as he son of Caleb Tingle Parsons and Elizabeth Simmons, with a birth date of 20 ctober 1812.? Unfortunately, Ruth also shows William A.'s brother, Ephraim, ith the same birth date. Under Elijah Parsons and Sally Metcalf, Ruth shows a son Theodore born 8 July 812 and a daughter, Elizabeth, born 20 Feb 1816. According to your Bible entry, William A. Parsons was born 11 Nov 1814. My interest, aside from just generally, is that Elijah Parsons is the son of my ncestors, George, Sr. and Temperance Sherman Parsons.? I'd like to have William A. in the correct family.? Ruth does not provide any evidence.? Do you have vidence?

Hi, I was just looking through the e-mail below and wonder if these Parsons are descendents of John Parsons and Mary Smith? I have their children as Peter, Nelly, Mary, John, George, Sarah, Zephaniah, and Leah - all born between 1730 and 1748.
