FOREWORD

Some years ago, Mr. John Farrell of Washington Cl H., began

gal hem, g material for a Farrett history. To his daughter, Mary Farrell

D u f f . I am indebted, lo not only all he had gathered together, but for much

assistance in procuring more data. Dr. C. I f . LuRue, Farrottsvitte, T,;n.;

Mrs. II'. IF. DonCarlos, Atlantic, Iowa: Mrs. Emma Chapman. Craig,

Col.: Mrs. John'York, Columbus, O.; Mrs. Ersa Beatty and' 'Mrs. James

II'alt of Greenfield, O., deserve especial mention among the many alio

have helped make Illis genealogy possible. I feel it is still far from com­

plete, but it is the best we can do al present.

Fo the memory of my grandmother, Mary Farrett Thomas, I witn lo

dedicate all the lime and effort 1 have put into this work. She was aluays

proud of the name and of the good honest folk who bore it. May ur never

dishonour either.

been able to obtain the name.

n ui J O H N P A R R E T T was born in 1740, as shown in the records of an old Bible now it. the possession of the w idow of Wal lace Parrett, Tennessee. Wa l l ace was a grandson of John Parret t . John was married twice. T h e name of his first w i fe is unknown and we have the name of onlv one of their seven sons. H e marr ied the second time, June 27, 1781, Louise Bean, and to them were born fourteen chi ldren boon after Ins second marriage he removed to Tennessee to a part which is now Locke County . Here he buil t his home, a cut of which is given herein. T h i s was the first house built in the vi l lage of Parrot tsvi l le, Tenn . , which took its name from this p.onecr. It might be wel l to say here that the Tennessee fami lv spell the name P-a-r-r-o-t t. T h e house was afterwards occupied by bis son George. D u r i n g the Revolut ion John served and his war record is on file at Harr isonburg, V a . H e is buried in the O ' H a v c r , later known as tbe Yet t cemetery, about three miles east of Parrotsvi l ie, T e n n . A crude stone, adjoining the graves of his son George and wi fe with the init ials " J . P . " marks his grave. The son of his first marriage, of whom we were able to obtain a record, was called "Smok ing Johnn ie " to distinguish him from the many other John Parrot ts who «ere in Oh io . Th i s son, w i th Joseph, a son of the second marriage, came to Oh io in LSI4 and settled in Favette County . "Smok ing Johnn ie" married El izabeth H a l l , and six sons and three daughters were born to them. They were as fo l lows:

1. George married Nancy Fancher. 2. ] homas married El izabeth C o i l .

3. John married Nancy Copeland. Tliis John was known as "Blackbearded J o h n " and had a son. John Alpheus, who married ( I ) M a r y Furnace and had one son (2) El izabeth J . C o i l to whom were born three daughters.

4. Samuel married Geneva Emanuel and moved to Iowa. 5. Hen ry married Sarah Hcndley. H e too took tbe western t ra i l . 6. Wes ley married Rebecca Si ler. 7. Rachel married Dav id Fancher. 8. El izabeth married James Ross. 9. Lev in ia married George Rupert .

Joseph, son of John Parrot t by second marriage and who came to O h i o , was best known as "Tennessee J o e . " H e was manied in Tennessee to Rebecca Fancher, daughter of Isaac Fancher, who accompanied tbe Parrotts to O h i o in 1814. T h e i r chi ldren were as fo l lows:

He~stiTl refused to tell, so he was sent. tmrison. where he was_cletained~aImost a year, when lie was exchanged and sent to his regiment. For his bravery he was promote^-to 2 n d ; t o atJSavaniiah, Ga., June 3, 1865.

V . G E O R G E P A R R E T T was killed in the Revolutionary War.

V I . J O S E P H P A R R E T T was born in Virginia in 1760. In 1 775 he enlisted as a private in Captain Jonathan Clark's Company, Colonel Peter Muhlenberg's 8th Virginia Regiment, and served until December 25. 1777. when he was made Lieutenant and Purchasing Commissary ot Provisions and Clothing for the Army at Valley Forge. He was in the battles of lirandywine and Germantown and at the taking of Cornwallis, and was discharged in November. 1781. at Woodstock, Va„ having served five years and ten months. For the above he was allow ed a pension and 200 acres of bounty land. He married Sarah Wendel and there were seven children. He moved to Ohio about IS12 and settled in Faiette County, about live miles north of Washington C. H . He later in life married Anna Hartman from Clinton County, and lived at Wilmington until his death, which occurred August 28, 1847. Owing to the fact that he had a military funeral and there was to be a salute fired over his grave, he was refused burial in the cemetery [Quaker] and was buried just outside the wall in the old Morris woods. We have been told that as the proces­sion came down the street the small bovs sang;

V i t . F R E D E R I C K P A R R E T T , the youngest son of Frederick and Barbara Parrett was born in 1764. At the age of seventeen he was called to service at the siege of Yorktown. He only got to ss-rve a short time, but was permitted to witness the surrender of Cornwall.s, which he often described to his grandchildren as a won­derful scene. After he came to Ohio he wore his Revolutionary uniform at a big celebration ... Chili.cothe given at the time of the Harrison and T i l e r campaign! borne of my earliest recollections are of the stories of the Revolutionary war which my grandmother told me, as told to her by her grandfather. His son Joseph wrote and read a paper at a Parrett reunion in the year 1859, in which he gives an account of Ins fathers war experiences and mentions incidents in the life of his grandfather who lived to a good old age. After the Revolution he was Ensign in the Virginia M.I.tia and Ins commissions signed by Henry Lee and Edmund Randolph are still in existence. He is numbered among the soldiers of 1812. M r W A Parrett has a roster of his company, but as there are no dates on it we do not know whether 'it was ot a company at that time or of a companv in the militia

Frederick Parrett ,n. Elizabeth Keller. Of her we know but little From an old paper we find that she was the daughter of Johann or John Kellar and that the others in her family were: Mary, George. Daniel. Jacob, Henrv. David, and David Kee Letters from Daniel Kellar concerning his father's estate tell that he (Daniel) lived in Green County, I ennessce.

In IS 12, John, the oldest son of Frederick and Elizabeth Kellar Parrett and who at that tune was married and had two children, came to Ohio, »liere some of l.S father s brothers had already settled. The next vear Frederick came to Ohio on horseback to buy land for his son John. He nas so pleased with the country he went back determined to sell his Virginia farm and bring the remainder of his family to this state. So on August 26. 1814. he sold his possessions at public sale The original paper, stating the terms of this sale, is still In existence and reads as follows-

I he condition, on which the properly of ihe Subscriber will be sold this dm are as follows: I he highest bidder is the purchaser. .1 credit oi nine months will b* given on all sums exceeding twenty-four shillings (excepting herein alter excepted) the purchaser giving noles with such scanty a, the subscriber approves this dav ana' before the goods bought are taken away. .Ill the sums not exceeding twenty-lour shillings must be paid with cash in hand. The salt ivill be sold for cash only Some articles will be excepted for ihe use of ihe subscriber lor about ten day, which will he made known by the crier al every article so sold. So bids less than a penny will be accepted. Disputes arising between bidders concerning bids, will be decided by the crier. Persons buying and nol performing as required by the conditions, shall have such goods so bought set uf and sold again, and il they then sell for le'S Ihe first purchaser shall pay the deficiency. I will not be answerable lor any properly sold alter delivered lo Ihe purchaser by the crier.

"I'REDERI C K FARR E TT." •'August 26, 181-1."

A line added to the above said the sale was continued the next dav on the same terms. Also there ,s an agreement between Parrett and |o„es as to the sale of the farm. In tins he reserves the plot used for the family burying ground. Thev came vest, as al did then, In horseback and wagons. Aunt Barbara Harper was onlv five years old at that time, but she often told of the gold they brought in a trunk on a car and upon winch she used to ride when she was tired of walking. They arrived in October. 1814, and purchased the land and erected a home. Tins is now owned n Mrs. P. J . Parrett. I l„s being on the Chillicothe pike, he for awhile kept a tavern and some of the old account books are In the possession of M r . VV. A. Parrett,

Lyndon, Ohio. When his wife died .., 1821 he purchased an acre of ground ad­jacent to the old church at South Salem, for a burial place for his wife. This he afterwards gave to the church. Here he and many of his familv lie today. His children for the most part lived and died in this vicinity and their genealogy is as follows:

A . John, the eldest son, was born February 24, 1786, and married Catherine Wendei January 12, 1808. I wo children were born to them, Eli and Sarah, before thev came to Ross County, Ohio, in August, 1812. The next year he moved his family to rayette County to the farm where he spent the rest of his life His death occurred Aug. 20, 1859. Perhaps it would be interesting to all who have descended f r a T i l ^ d ^ r i c k Parrett tolcnow j j s x j v j m J^e^ave Jus chTluRrrwhen they went

Children of Frederick and Elizabeth Wallace Parrett :

a. John, better known to all the cousins as "Col . John." desenes a word all to himself. He caught the gold fever rd "+')"' and in 1X51 he made the trip to California via New Vork down the Atlantic coast and up the Pacific coast to Sail Francisco. After eighteen months of gob! digging be started home In the same route In wliich he came, but not far out from the Golden Gate In- was shipw recked and lost everything but In- precious gold dust, which he had in a belt around hi- waist. He studied law at home and was admitted to the bar. Too much study affected hi- eyesight alid for several yea i he was threatened with blindness, so lie finally hail to give up the idea of law and go to farming. As far as his eves would permit he kept up his reading and study all his life. His home was noted for its hospitality and he and bis familv stood for all that is clean and good.

His son William still lives at the home place, but the others have gone out to other communities "to honor their father and mother."

Ann Catherine Parrett was born August 12. 1812. and died January 21 ISS2 She was married to Joseph Harper and this was her dowry:

Notice that the "chest of traners" once given to the older children now h- omes i "burou" and that Catherine's "patestrt" is "Vransh." Also note prk:• given in these accounts. While these dmv rys no doubt seem meager to us. T * r ri thev were very ample to "comment e funis." Perhaps it would interest you to f - ar that "Katy." as she was called, was the little lady of the family. Her sister Barbara once said that for some uncxplaioable reason the other members ot tli. family would always "fetch and cany for "Katy.

I X . There was another daughter of Frederick and Barbara Edwards Parrett. but l i t t le is known of her. She married a man by the name of Shoemaker and moved to Per ry County, O h i o . I have been told that one of her daughters married a man by the name of Poorman.

There are many gaps to be fi l led in this history, and I presume many corrections. I am giv ing it to you as it has been sent to me by the different branches. If the book falls into the hands of those who know of omissions, send a letter to myself or the Secretary of the Parret t Association, we w i l l onlv be too glad to write between the lines. In fact, a l l births, deaths and marriages should be reported to the Secretary and w i l l be added each year.

I have been asked the questions, W h y are you doing this? and W h a t good w i l l it do? A great man once said, "People w i l l not look f o r w a r d to posterity, who never look backward to their ancestors." D o we not owe these ancestors much ? Sliall w e forget who blazed the t ra i l , broke and drained the soil, erected churches and >chooU and smoothed the way for us? W a s not the message to the prophet, " f e l l \ r your children of it, and let your children tel l their children, and their children •uiafhir (feneration'' ? Eet me close the book by quoting a few lines f rom a toast I heard riot long ago given to the O h i o Pioneers:

Ah daughters brave and strong and real. Ah sons of days lont/ past. I he glow of altar fires yon watched, down all the years is cast.

And we shall pray on bended knees to keep the light aglow. That burned to f reedom, Love and God. on hearthstones long ntj<,
