In reply to Chris Dickinson's post appearing below, thank you for the information that you provided. I was not aware of a Parrish Quaker line in Lincolnshire. In the Parrish/Parish DNA project that I administer are five unrelated Parrish families that settled in America in colonial times. Although I do not know where each colonial Parrish/Parish family came from in the British Isles, I have reason to believe on the basis of evidence accumulated so far (Y chromosome DNA results as well as other evidence) that my Parrish ancestors did not come from Lincolnshire. Furthermore, contrary to family tradition, I do not think that my Parrish ancestors emigrated from Yorkshire; it looks as if they might have emigrated from the Bristol Channel area or from English counties that share a border with Wales. I find it of interest that an Edward Parrish was born in Lincolnshire in 1667. What happened to him? It is thought that Edward Parrish - eight generations separate him from me - was born in Anne Arundel County, Maryland in 1669. Are any British Isles Quaker records available online?
