Hello! I am having a particularly difficult time in attaching the PARSONS lines to the METFORD group. There seem to be 4 PARSONS who are associated with the METFORD clan (for lack of a better term). Has anyone seen PARSONS or is researching them? Some went to Sidcot school (which unfortunately means very little to me). I have a nice list of Quaker names from the West Country and would like to share what I have. I GROWDEN of Trevose from 17th c Cornwall (I have a Quaker burial in 1681, went to PA (where they also named their area there Trevose), returned to Poole, Dorset, in the marriage of Thomas NICKLESON (1719-1788). A long line of METFORD in Taunton and Glastonbury (lots of them!) 1. Families that married into it from the Taunton line were: HULETT of Street, Somerset; MABSON; ELLIS from Uffculme, Devon; and ANDERDON (with PROCKTOR) from Ruishton, Somerset. The family spread out with WRIGHT and CHARTER, plus BADCOCK (which is closer to me). My immediate line hails from Taunton. "Flook House" in the centre of town was in the family for about 5 generations. 2. In the METFORD of Glastonbury line there was CLOTHIER, PIKE, RAWES and it eventually pretty much "daughtered-out" with THOMSPON and CLARKE, although there are a few Metfords still around here and there. Anything familiar? Michel in SA
