Thanks for this list! I have have been slowly working on our family line for a few months. We are still starting with the Indiana Parr's (Southeast end) and going back. We don't think there are suppose to be very many American generations to our line but Lucinda Parr is about as far back as we have recorded in family records. Dad and I will be glad to find more.

I find the switch from Parr to Regis very interesting. At this stage I still do not know the European origins of my Parr line. I think it is probably English. Arnold Parr

My Parrs are from Culpeper and Fauquier Counties, Virginia, and the Moores were from Culpeper, Fauquier, and Rappahannock Counties, Virginia. A Capt. James Parr (b. abt 1770) m. Hannah Wayman (b. abt 1774) in Culpeper Co., VA, abt 1794. Their three known children are James, William, and Elizabeth. James married Nancy Huffman on 25 Jun 1829 in Culpeper Co., and they had 5 known children: James, Weedon Asbury, Andrew Jackson, Sally A, and Walter Scott. Their son Andrew Jackson Parr m. Julia Anna Moore on 26 Feb 1856 in Fauquier Co., and Andrew's brother James William Parr married Adalade C. (Addie) Moore (Julia Anna Moore's sister) in 1854 in Fauquier Co. The Moore sisters were daughters of George Moore and Ann Singleton who were married 26 Feb 1829 in Culpeper Co. For his second marriage to Frances Gaskins on 24 Jun 1869 in Fauquier Co., George listed himself as age 67 and born in Rappahannock Co. I haven't been able to find anything on George's first wife Ann Singleton, and I have nothing for the first William Parr, s/o James Parr and Hannah Wayman. His sister Elizabeth married Joseph Hickerson in 1806 in Fauquier Co. Maybe there's a clue here for your Parr - Moore connection. If so, I hope you'll let me know. The Parrs have been difficult to trace back. Best wishes, Dee Johnson

Hi everyone. I am just started to research my fathers side of my family, - the Parrs. My grandfather, Samuel George Parr was born in Lewisham. My Grandmother, Emily Hobbs, was born in Camberwell. Samuel's, father and mother - John Henry Parr and Mary Ann Cook, lived in Lewisham and in Sydenham. Emily's father and mother, William Silas Hobbs and Ellen Eliza Hall, lived in Camberwell. I is very differicult to obtain information on my family from reletives as they do not know very much. I think there may have been a family rift, as nether my aunt or my father know very much about there aunts and uncles. It does'nt looked like they ever had very much to do with both lots of their grandparents. I have been told that both my grandparents came from large families. I am interested to hear from anyone who is researching the Parrs, who may have well had connections in these areas. Many Thanks Victoria from Devon SURNAME INTERESTS: LONDON LEWISHAM, CAMBERWELL, SYNDENHAM, AND KENNINGTON PARR WITH CONNECTIONS TO COOK(E)AND HOBBS HOBBS WITH CONNECTIONS TO HALL AND PARR

H'lo fellow searchers. I thought I should post my interests as of late: (if it's missing ... it's unknown) AMELIA PALMER born in London, England; died December 3, 1927 Toronto, Ontario, Canada; married JAMES BLAKE in England Her father: ROBERT PALMER born in England Her mother: ANNIE PARR born in London, England Would appreciate any help with filling in the gaps, as well as finding any census records that could be useful in finding other children of Robert & Annie. Thank you, Marianne Cook Mississauga, Ontario

I found the following in a book. I'm NOT related to either Parr or George families. Just transcribing for the interest of those who may be. At the end, there is the name and address of the woman who did write this... whether or not she's still living, or at the same address, I have no idea. Sometimes, in searching a family line, one often finds out a great deal about a closely associated family. Usually, if one looks hard enough, there will be one or more marriages between the two families. While searching for the GEORGE family in old Tryon Co., NC., Lincoln Co., TN., Washington Co., AR., and Barry Co., MO., I kept running into a PARR family. although I found out a lot about them, I did not find a marriage between the two families. Instead of burying this extraneous material in my notebooks, I decided to share this information hoping that it might help someone who is researching his/her Parr line. To give you a little background on the George family, Jesse George married Pheby George 12 Jan 1796 in Rutherford Co., NC. By 1803 they were in Wilson Co., TN. In 1814 Jesse George received a land grant in Lincoln Co., TN, and he and his family settled there. I believe that he and Pheby had at least three sons: Presley S. George born abt 1796-1800; Jesse H. George born 1806 and David O. George, born 1810. In the 1830's Presley S. and David O. George came into Arkansas and then into southwest Missouri. The first association of these two families seems to be in Lincoln Co., TN. The names of John O. Parr, Berryman T. Parr, and James W. Parr surfaced there. In 1828 there was a deed from Jesse George to James Parr for $2000. for 552 acres in Lincoln Co. on the headwaters of Coldwater Creek. Berry T. Parr and David O. George are witnesses. In the 1840's there are several deeds between Jesse H. George and John O. Parr in Lincoln Co., TN. Next, the two families were in Arkansas. In THE TERRITORIAL PAPERS OF THE UNITED STATES BY CLARENCE EDWIN CARTER, VOL. XXI. (ARK) both Jesse H. George and James Parr signed a petition to Congress asking for pre-emtion rights. This meant that they were squatting on the land, hoping to be granted rights to settle in 1833. In 1843, James Parr and wife, Eliza, are living in Benton Co., AR., according to this deed: Vol. C, p 223 Barry Co., MO Later, we find entanglement in Barry Co., MO. David O. George was living there with his family, and adjacent to him were his aged mother, Phebe, age 80, and brother, Jesse H. age 44. There were two Parr families in Barry Co., MO., also. 1850 Census Barry Co., MO PARR, JAMES 47 NC ELIZA W. 47 NC JAMES A. 15 AR MARY B. 11 AR PARR, MARTHA C. 52 TN JESSE C. 28 TN JAMES H. 26 TN ZINA 22 TN MARTHA M. 17 TN OSBERT 19 TN BERRYMAN T. 15 AR ALBANY 13 AR GEORGE, WILLIAM 29 TN (it is difficult to tell whether his surname is JAMES 6 George, or if he is William George Parr) MARTHA 4 Evidence shows that Berryman T. Parr had died in 1849 according to Barry County Probate Records, Book A. page 162: PARR, BERRYMAN T. (interstate) ADMRS: JESSE C. PARR and MARTHA C. PARR 21 Apr 1849. Sec. John Hawk, Solom B. Abernathy, and Abel H. Burton. Heirs: Martha C. Parr, widow; John O.. Parr, Eliza Price, Lucina E. Abernathy, Jesse C. Parr, James H. Parr, Archabald, Jr., Ezra H., Presley O., Martha M., Barryman T., and Albina Parr. Eliza Price lives in Greene County; Archabald Parr in Lane? Co., MO and the rest in Barry Co. The fist names of the George and Parr males seem to be almost interchangeable! Common first names in the George family are Presley and Jesse. The name Osbert has been carried down several generations. David O. George, b 1810 named one of his sons James W. George. In the Parr family, you will note that a Presley Osbert and Jesse C. Parr were the sons of Berryman T. Parr. James W. Parr and David O. George were in business together in Cassville. They were "traders", but also owned land jointly in Greene and Barry counties, MO. U.

Sorry, I cannot be of help at this stage about Lulu Belle Parr. I shall keep your query on file in case I find out anything. I am just starting the research on my Parr genealogy.

Posted on: PARR Biographies Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/surnames/p/a/PARR/biographies/8 Surname: Parr ------------------------- Would like info. on Lulu Belle Parr - a wild west show performer from 1901 to at least 1913 with Buffalo Bill Cody. Said to have been born in PA. and moved west at a young age.

I am searching for information about Amos Parr, my great great grandfather. Amos was born in 1807 in New York State. He married Grace who was born in Canada in 1810. John, their oldest son, was born in Canada in 1838. Their other children were all born in New York: Sophia (b 1842), James (b 1843), Hannah (b 1845) and Amos (b 1848). At the time of the 1850 and 1860 censuses Amos and his family were living in East Otto, Cattaraugus County, New York. James Parr, my great grandfather, married Louisa Fritz on 24 December 1868 in Hillier Township, Prince Edward County, Ontario, Canada. At some point after marriage James moved back to the States. James had one daughter, Eleanor, and three sons: Henry Amos (my grandfather who lived most of his life in Invermay, Saskatchewan, Canada), Edward (who was living in Fredonia, N.Y. in the 1950s) and William. James died in 1906 and is buried in Sheridan Center Cemetery, Sheridan, Chautauqua County, New York. James' younger brother, Amos, died before 1900 and his will is lodged in Sheridan.

I am aware of Miol Parr. I have seen him in records (ie 1810 census, Mecklenburg Co, NC) and seen various inquiries. I saw an abstract of his will fairly recently. There was also another Parr in Mecklenburg Co, NC in the 1790-1800 period who never transacts any business with the others, who are interacting constantly. His name started with a J. as I recall maybe Jacob. Having no link, I just ignored him in my history. In the past, when I have speculated about possible relationships in my histories, even by obscure reference, I have later seen those speculations given as fact, often with me cited as the source, so I am very careful. That happened with William Parr who married the Bethel in Sussex Co, VA. I speculated that they could be the parents of Thomas because a Thomas and Mary Parr had a daughter Lotta, christened in 1752 in the parish they attended. Now I have seen web sites that quote my speculation as fact and put it in a pedigree. One of them quotes some references from an EMail I received, carefully leaving out those portions which clearly identify it as speculation. It could be right, but I have no concrete proof, and neither do they. Having said that, I can't imagine that Miol is not related in some way, and I suspect not too distantly removed.

Phil, There was another Parr-Pair-Pehr in Mecklenberg Co., NC named Mial - Miel - Miles born in 1780. He was a bondsman for Thomas' marriage to Polly Stokes in 1804. Was he a younger brother of Allen, Claiborn, & Thomas? Or perhaps a nephew? Elayne
