Does anyone know about the origins ofn the Waters family? I assume it was a common English name. Yesterday, my family hiked the "Noland Trail" in Newport News, Va. and we came across a historical marker that said a Capt. Edward Waters had first owned that land in 1624.

Waters, Sutton, Heath, Simmons Date: Thursday, April 19, 2001 08:18 Patty, Had looked at the information on Old Dobbers - which is where I picked up on the 2nd generation of Parrott D. md into the Jackson family. One can only assume it was Parrott Jr who lived on the Lenoir-Jones border but this was not the seat of this family. THe seat appears to be more on the Wayne/Lenoir border. Was just wondering if there was another Parrott D. - not father and son - but maybe a cousin. Family sure appeared to move around. Have not heard from Kay but she is on digest. Would be nice to tie down IF Elizabeth Simmons married a Waters and which one and which Waters Sally Simmons Barwick married. The location would indicate the Parrott D. family - depending on where they were living for the 2nd marriage. Thanks Martha >From: Patty Day <paday.geo@yahoo.com> >Subject: Re: [NCLENOIR] Parrott D.
