Hi everyone, I am new to this list but thanks to my cousin, Lanita, I'm here! Lanita has done a terrific job on my Bennett family line. I would also like any info that can be offered on my father's line, PARROTT or my maternal grandfather's line, HOLLIS. Grandfather Gilbert (Gib) Parrott and grandfather Claude Hollis. I have found some info on the internet on the Hollis side but nothing I can connect on the Parrott side. Thanks for any help or suggestions. Marilynn Parrott Brown

NEVER MIND... Stay tuned, Marilynn, I 've got some scoop for you!! Will put on list so everyone can see. Lanita

These were the parents of the Gilbert that I sent you earlier: 1880 Oregon Co., MO Census Parret, William, age 25, Farmer, MO TN KY Josephine, age 20, Wife, KpHse,TN TN TN Luther, age 3, Son, MO MO TN Polley J., age 7m, Dau, born Nov, MO MO TN 2 possibles for your William's parents. I chose the following because the birth states came closer to matching up, and the other didn't. 1870 Oregon Co., MO Census: 26th Aug 1870, Jobe Twp., P.O. Alton, p84 #590-594 PARROTT, LEWIS, age 48, Farmer, $1000, $700, TN Arrena, age 44, Keeping House, KY James W., age 22, KY William, age 15, MO Susan, age 13, MO Elisabeth, age 11, MO Benjamin, age 5, MO 1860 Oregon Co., MO Census: 9 Jul 1860, Woodside Twp., p180:45, 307-309 PARROTT, L.
