Richard Wright, Sr. family members - hello. I'm receiving quite a few requests from Wright family members for information regarding the Arthur Parr Family Bible. In the interest of there being more family members who may want the information, this is what I found and posted on GenForum in 2009: PARR BIBLE RECORD This Bible was brought to Indiana by Arthur Parr, A soldier of the American Revolution, from North Carolina. It was in possession of his grandson, Henry C. Thompson, then to Henry C.'s granddaughter, Monta (Thompson) Hinds, Salem, Ind. who donated it to the Washington Co., Historical Society Library. It contains only the birth dates of the children of Arthur Parr, his [children] and his wife. BIRTHS: Arthur Parr, born July 5, 1758 Mary Parr, wife of Arthur, born Feb. 12, 1766 Children: Martha Parr, daughter of A. Parr, born Oct. 1783 Enoch Parr, son of A.

Early History of Washington Co., Indiana - By Forrest W. Faria 1931. Some brief notes taken from the Biographical Sketches: Arthur Parr was b. in Guilford Co., N.C. July 5, 1758 [My note: This is likely in error because Guilford County was not created until 1770 from Rowan and Orange counties, so Arthur Parr could not have been born there, although he could have been born in that part of Rowan County that later became Guilford.] He lived there till he was 10 or 12 years of age. Moved with mother and step-father to S. Carolina. Remained there until he entered Rev. War March 1, 1776. After the War, he settled in N. Carolina near the home of James Morgan and later married his daughter Mary on Feb. 22, 1782. They lived together for over 50 years and had 9 children. He and his wife came to Indiana Territory and settled in Washington County in 1809. He died on the place where he lived and first settled. His wife died a few years later at the home of her son Morgan Parr in Clark Co., Indiana.
