My Thomas Parr was born in Ireland about 1817. He immigrated to Canada before 1850 and I have found him in the 1851 Brighton, Northumberland Ontario census, living with his wife Mary Gillett and her parents. By 1856 my Thomas and his wife and son Willis had moved to Washtenaw Co., Michigan. The interesting thing here is that when Thomas' son Willis grew up, he maintained a farm in Durand Michigan, but purchased a lumber mill in Washington State. In the WA cemetery where Willis Parr's children are buried is also an Isaiah Parr, I believe. I would very much like for you to contact me. I have a webpage at the "Proud to be Parr" website, look under "Thomas Parr and Mary Gillett". You may write to me at the website or at Dmalafront@aol.com Thank You, Deborah Malafronte
