I have chased this bogus relationship for years and now believe I can put it to rest, thanks to you. I must add, however, that it's not correct to say there's no connection to the Setzer's. It's just not THIS one. Thomas J's uncle Daniel Henry Parrott married Elizabeth "Lizzie" Bean whose mother was Allie Setzer Bean. The myth part is that Allie Setzer Bean and Charlotte Parrott were sisters and that Daniel Henry and Lizzie Bean were cousins. Now this Setzer branch has generated more myths than the Brothers Grimm. Another was that Allie Setzer's mother (and Charlotte's according to the first myth) was a full-blood Cherokee and the first wife of John Setzer of Burke County NC. Neither of those claims are currently believed by most researchers. So, good things happened for my research. The gene pool for Daniel Henry and Lizzie's children just increased dramatically and I still get to keep the Parrott surname in my files as a "related family". Now all I have to do is try to find out the name of that 11 to 15 year old girl in Lawrence Setzer's 1830 census report. It's probably not Charlotte.
