I have Parson family in East Mahoning in 1870, 1880, 1900 census records, but in 1860 it is Parshen. I can't go back further than John Parson b. Apr 1838...looking for his mom and dad. Two of his sons were listed as Pershing in 1910 but were living in DuBois then. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
