Posted on: Jackson County, WV Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/WV/Jackson?read=1671 Surname: Parsons, Bush, Mott ------------------------- The Joseph Parsons that married Elizabeth Bush on Jan. 14, 1804 was Joseph P. (Paulcer?) Parsons, son of the "red-haired" Charles Parsons. The Joseph Parsons who married Matilda "Til" Mott was much older and the son of the Charles parsons who settled in Jackson Co., WV in about 1800. Joseph and Matilda were married prior to 1783 when their son Adam was born. Other children were George, William Lowther "Devil Bill", Charles, Joseph, Jr., John L., and Nancy. There is no evidence whatsoever that this Joseph ever married and Elizabeth Bush. This is just another Jackson Co. Parsons legend.
