Surnames: Parrish Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/JhB.2ACE/1108 Message Board Post: JOHNSTOWN, PENNSYLVANIA 15904-1219 PHONE 814-266-6855 E-MAIL jtr@floodcity.net 07/07/2005 There are erroneous reports out on the web about the parentage of Joshua Parrish. His place of birth and parentage are not known and some people on the web are stating unsubstantiated facts about this. I am trying to inform here. Latter Day Saints and Ancestry.com have it incorrect as well. It is not likely that John Parrish and Sarah Belt are his parents because they are married in Huntingdon Co., PA in 1800 and Joshua was born in 1770. Joshua is not the the son of William as some state either because they are missing a generation of descendants according to the well documented book on Parrishes by Scott Lee Boyd. Those who are showing his parents have not done their homework on this. They are just posting errors that are circulating as fact.
