Michael: I don't have much at all on Orris Parrott. I am assuming he was the son of Thomas and Tina since he's the only Orris listed (unless Orris was a middle name). Thomas, I think, was either a son or nephew of Benjamin Franklin Parrott (Benjamin--he's listed as Frank in the 1930 census and claims a bd of 1849; married to an Eliza J. and Thomas is next door with son Orris and family). This is what I have on Sallie E. Wright Mallicoat Bruce Parrott: Notes for SALLIE WRIGHT: Obituary January 28, 1982 Mrs. Sallie Malicote Parrott, 101, a resident of Lake City Nursing Home, formerly of La Follette, died Sunday at Lake City Hospital. The funeral was Wednesday at Cross Funeral Home with the Rev. Lee Lambert officiating. Burial was in Bakers Forge Cemetery. A member of Indiana Avenue Baptist Church, Mrs. Parrott is survived by two sons, Casper and Jimmy Malicote; a daughter, Mary Collingsworth of La Follette; five grandchildren and nine great grandchildren. Transcription of Article from "The LaFollette Press" dated Thursday July 17, 1980 "I CAN DO MOST ANYTHING,' 100-YEAR OLD SAYS" by Jane DuBose It's a little hard forher to hear, but her face is a perfect picture of understanding as each question is asked. Beneath her home-made pink bonnet she squints a little from the wide-rimmed glasses. A quilt spread over her apron and small legs keeps her warm insdie her nursing home room. Sallie Parrott, diminutive mother of three, is celebrating 100 years of memories today. Birthdays have never been a big deal to her and her family, but this one is somewhat special. After all, 100-year-olds are pampered, lauded, and written about. It seems the very virtue of another birthday makes them prime targets for extra attention and countless interviews. Sallie Parrott, on the other hand, has led a fascinating life all of her 100 years. She would have been a lovely person to talk to as a lively 50 or 70 year old. Mrs. Parrott will celebrate her birthday in the small room with her family and friends. If she were home, there wouldn't be much celebration, she says, "I'd be picking berries." she says matter-of-factly. "I just love to pick any kind of raspberries, blackberries, or huckleberries," she says. She said she had about 100 cans of berries put up when she had to go to the Kingston Pike Nursing home in Knoxville. Because she was unhappy there, her son Chester moved her to Lake City. The great-grandmother made her home in the Cedar Creek community of Campbell County most all her life. She raised chickens, hogs, and cattle there--not to mention three stropping cihldren. "Oh I had a good husband," she remembers. Her first husband, John Mallicoat, was a farmer. "Such a good man," she continues. The day her father died, Sallie met her beloved John. He came there to sit with the other people who had been called, she says. "MY father wanted a promise that we would be taken care of. He asked John's father to take care of us girls." John's father carried out his end of the deal--John soon married Sallie. The wedding date was on her 21st birthday. Sallie doesn't remember much about her courtship except that it was short. Women back then knew how to do countless chores, she says. "I could knit, spin, sew, make butter and bread. I can do most anything." Sallie learned how to use all of her faculties on her parents farm in Cedar Creek. She was the next to the oldest of nine children in the Henry and Kizie Wright family. "I knew that I'd do right if I did what Daddy told me." she remembers. On the farm, Salle hoed and pulled weeds and helped with household chores as soon as she was large enough to help. "I've always been earnest to work." she says. "I remember leaning over the washtub and working so hard." She's the only remaining child of the Wright family, although a half-brother and half-sister are still living. John and Sallie had three children: Chester and James Mallicoat and Mary Collingsworth, all of LaFollette. John Mallicoat died of cancer when the children were still young and Sallie took in washing and worked at various jobs to support herself and her children. But she was lucky two more times. After the children had left home, Sallie married Tom Bruce, who soon died and later Orris Parrott who died a few years ago. Sallie married her latest husband some 15 years ago. "I never wanted for nothin with him," she says. "I had just got over a fever and I was sitting on the side of the bed. I said to Orris "I sure would like to have a chew of tobacco." "In an hour I had it. Boy, they sure brought it quick." Chewing tobacco has been a pasttime since she was a young girl. She paused several times during the interview to spit some juice into a small container that was situated on the window sill next to her Bible when she wasn't using it. Perhaps chewing tobacco is Sallie's only so=called vice. She ahs never smoked nor drank and she didn't like to see her family do it either. She spends her days talking with nursing home personnel and reading the Bible. There are no favorite passages for her. "They're all beautiful," she comments. Aside from talking and a little verse reading Sallie sits in her wheelchair and looks back "I don't do to much of anything". She speaks fondly of the Sugar Hollow Baptist Church where she attended church. She recalls the festive atmosphere surrounding camp meetings. "It was a great occasion," she says with a smile. "And I've been a Christian all my life." She's done a lot of things that she wished she didn't have to--like working as a cook in the LaFollette High School and in the shirt factory there. "I don't think harshly about working. I would have just rather been home a working there." She has her share of worries also. Two of her children are ill, one with cancer. Sallie never minded doing for others. She accepted the hard drudgery that surrounded a farm in the 1920's with mild acceptance. Her children were well provided for. Sallie has probably not heard of the Equal Rights Amendment or male housekeepers. She says she hasn't kept up with the news in a long time. "I don't tend to the news. It ain't fit to listen to is it?" Sallie is a little taken aback at the attention she's been receiving. "Birthdays were never a big occasion with her family. "Just another day." she says between a tobacco chew. Life passes slowly in front of the window where she sits daily in her wheelchair. A broken leg and hip keep her confined there. An eye injury took out her left eye and curtailed the quilting that she loved so much. She pieced nearly 200 quilts at the Knoxville nursing home. She's ready to meet the Lord, but it would be nice to pick a few more berries. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sallie E. was the daughter of William Henry Wright and Mary Kizziah Wilson. William Henry was the son of William A. Wright Jr. and Sarah Chapman (Sarah who had married John Bailey). Henry and Kizziah had several children, then Henry died in Aug. 1898 and Kizziah married John McNeeley in Jan 1899 according to records. She had a son, William Lewis who died in Oct. 1899 but he was buried as a Wright during the TVA removals. According to family lore, Kizziah was killed by lightening when she was sitting on her porch shelling peas in 1909, however this has not been confirmed and it's suspected that her death was "romanticized" by her children (who apparently strongly disliked their stepfather as they never spoke of her second marriage to their children--ironically once my cousin found the records and showed them to her grandaunts, they "confessed"). John McNeeley was a very old man and either couldn't or wouldn't take care of Kizziah's children. Kizziah's two youngest daughters were placed in the girl's home in Claiborne Co. after her death. Kelly McNeeley, b. Oct. 1900 and presumably a son of John, took the Wright name later in life as did the youngest girl Grace (b. 1903). William A. died during the Civil War Feb. 1862 in Flat Lick KY according to his wife Sarah Chapman. William's father and mother were William A. Wright Sr. and Margaret Unknown. This William A. Wright Sr. was the man raised by Benjamin and Martha Brawley Rogers. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Malicoat, Sallie Age: 40 Year: 1930 Birthplace: Tennessee Roll: T626_2235 Race: White Page: 7B State: Tennessee ED: 9 County: Campbell Image: 0393 Township: District 2 Relationship: Head -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Malicoat, James M Age: 16 Year: 1930 Birthplace: Roll: T626_2235 Race: Page: 7B State: Tennessee ED: 9 County: Campbell Image: 0393 Township: District 2 Relationship: Son Sallie's daughter Mary K. married Bayless Collinsworth and lived in La Follette.

Hello, I've moved my site, "The Taylors of South-Southeast Kentucky" and upgraded/dated it. The old site will be up for another month or so. In this move, I've done very little updating, but hope to get to that soon. There has been some Harlan Co deaths and deeds info added, as well as I've added new, interesting links. The new link is: www.doodle-bugs.us I did rework the "Support Our Troops" page and hope that you all visit that. If you wish to help out, there are links there that will take you to organizations that give you that chance, as well as links to other tribute type pages. The message board and photos are still there, but as of right now, you can only get to them from links from the front page, so if you go looking for them, there they will be. Hope everyone is enjoying the weather...I'm still waiting on our cicadas!

You wrote to him regarding Elizabeth PARROTT, in the message you wrote ... PS: one of my Wright woman married a Parrot--Orris Parrot son of Thomas. Is this the Orris PARROTT you mentioned? Oris PARROTT June 26, 1909 May 24, 1969 I believe this Oris PARROTT's Father was Thomas L. PARROTT (B: 28 Aug 1873 D: 27 Jun 1971) and his Mother was Tina A. PARROTT (B: 27 Aug 1886 D: 12 Jun 1970). All are buried in Bethlehem Cemetery, Campbell Co., TN. If it is the same family would you share what info you have regarding them (brothers, sisters, parents of each, children etc.) .

I found a marriage record: Name: ALLEN PARRETT Spouse: SARAH HYSLEP Marriage Date: 10 Dec 1854 County: Claiborne State: TN There is an Allen Parrott in Claiborne in 1880 and Elizabeth is 15: Name: Allen PARRETT Age: 54 Estimated birth year: <1826> Birthplace: Tennessee Occupation: Farmer Relation: Self Home in 1880: District 1, Claiborne, Tennessee Marital status: Married Race: White Gender: Male Head of household: Allen PARRETT Father's birthplace: NC Mother's birthplace: VA Image Source: Year: 1880; Census Place: District 1, Claiborne, Tennessee; Roll: T9_1247; Family History Film: 1255247; Page: 104A; Enumeration District: 103; Claiborne 1870 and Elizabeth is in his household age 4: Name: Allen Parrot Age in 1870: 45 Estimated Birth Year: 1824 Birthplace: Tennessee Home in 1870: District 1, Claiborne, Tennessee Race: White Gender: Male Value of real estate: View Image Post Office: Speedwell Roll: M593_1518 Page: 204 Image: 408 Year: 1870 I checked the 1900 census and found a Lizzie Parrott in Campbell says she was born June 1876 and was widowed. She worked as a laundress. Her children were John Feb 1890 who worked as a farm helper; George July 1893; Maggie March 1896; James April 1900. None of her children were educated even though she could read and write. I also found her in the index for 1910: Parret, Elizeabeth Age: 43 Gender: F Race: W Birthplace: TN State: Tennessee County: CAMPBELL Locale: JELLICO PCT Series: T624 Roll: 1492 Part: 2 Page: 75A Her children are still at home with her and John and George are coal miners. You may want to try court records to see if there was a divorce for her as I found a marriage record in Campbell for Parrott, Elizabeth Spouse : Ivey, William Marriage date : Mar 1, 1886 County : Campbell Gender : Female Source : County Court Records Microfilm Number : 0979202 - 0979207 There is a William M. Ivy in Campbell in 1900 and get this he was born Feb. 1864 and says he's widowed! He worked as a servant for Robert Hill and there were no children etc with Ivey in the household. Many times if there was a divorce I know the women would say they were widowed because divorce was a stigma to the older women (Kate Summers claimed widowhood after her and Lorenzo Summers had split up ... but he was alive and well with his new MUCH YOUNGER wife...guess this adds to the meaning of "they are dead to me" phrase). I hope this helps! Bonnie PS: one of my Wright woman married a Parrot--Orris Parrot son of Thomas.
I am seeking any information on a divorce between a Charlie/Charley/Charles Wright and Ruth Marshall Wright in Campbell County. This would have been in the early 1900's before 1920. Many thanks....I am most appreciative! Joyce

Bonnie: Dora and Doshie Comer are not listed in any of the four volumes of "Cemeteries and Tombstone Inscriptions from Campbell County, TN", compiled by Paula Gammell and Edith W. Hutton.
Bonnie, Doshie and Dora Comer are not listed in the Davis Chapel Cemetery, at least not in the History in Stone cemetery book.

From: "bleach" <bleach@rose.net> I believe this is the Thomas Riggs you are talking about but I have him in 1900 Claiborne County census born in Aug 1860 and married to a Barbara. Hi Bob, Yes, Thomas is the right one for the 1880 census that you sent, but not the right Thomas you have for the 1900 Claiborne census. He moved to IN after Emma died & was in the 1900 census there. Then they moved back & he was in the 1910, 1920, & 1930 Campbell Co. census again with Nancy. Children had all left home by 1910.
