Posted on: Chowan County NC. Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/NC/Chowan?read=749 Surname: PARISH, PARRISH, WELCH, BURRUS ------------------------- Joseph PARISH m. Fanny WELCH on 6 Dec 1820 in Chowan County. They left Chowan Co. abt 1827 and settled in Preble County, Ohio. They moved on to Carroll County, Indiana abt 1835. At each move they were accompanied by Seth BURRUS who married Sarah PARISH 9 Jun 1821 in Chowan Co. There was another Sarah PARRISH living with Seth and Sarah BURRUS who, according to the 1850 census, was born in N.C. abt 1760. I think the above was Joseph, Jr. from the following descendancy of Parishes...John (d. 1772) > Joseph > Joseph, Jr. I need all the help I can get on sorting out the puzzle of the Chowan County PARISH/PARRISH Family during this early time period. Please send me any information which could be a piece of the puzzle. I will be happy to share whatever information I now have or find in the future. I would also be interested in information on the WELCH or BURRUS connection.
