Hello, I too have been doing research with Captain William Parrott, mostly with his descendants. I just recently came across Captain William. I have extensive information concerning his son Christopher. I would like to contact the person that started this thread or that responded, I do not know how to. Was wondering if you could help me. Thank you.

*Anyone with information concerning Captain William Parrott can also email me. josephparriott@gmail.com

: I apologize for the delay in responding to
: your inquiry. Our library has been in the
: process of moving over the last several
: months, and we are now finally settled at
: our new location, the Greenbelt public
: library building at 11 Crescent Road in
: Greenbelt, MD.
:
: I have checked the obvious sources
: (land/probate records, etc.) that are easily
: available to us here at the PGC Historical
: Society library and find very little about
: the Parrott/Perrott family. One reference
: that might be helpful (and which you have
: doubtless already found) is that in the
: 1720s Gabriel Parrott was the owner of
: property known as "Parrott's
: Thicket" which he had received in 1670
: by patent #12:632. (This reference is found
: in a Deed M:218, 22 June 1727.)
:
: Perhaps more helpful is a reference in Deed
: F:113 (24 November 1718) between Gabriel
: Parker of PG County and Henry Hall of Anne
: Arundel County, which indicates that on 9
: February 1700, the grantor, Gabriel Parker,
: had received from his grandfather, Gabriel
: Parrott, tracts known as "Parrotts's
: Thickett" and "Eglington" -
: that Gabriel Parker was the only surviving
: male child of George Parker and his wife
: Susannah Parrott Parker, daughter of the
: above-cited Gabriel Parrott. These lands
: had to be equally divided between the male
: children of George and Susannah Parker, and
: since Gabriel Parker was their only
: surviving male child, he received these
: lands in 1700.
:
: This deed also indicates that Gabriel
: Parker's wife is Ann Parker. I hope that
: this is of some help. You will undoubtedly
: find more information at the Maryland State
: Archives.
:
: Good luck with your research!

: My cousin five times removed and I are
: looking
: for the parents of our common fifth
: great-grandfather, Captain William Parrott,
: who is said to have been born and married in
: Prince Georges County..born around 1720 and
: married in Marlboro around 1752 to a woman
: also from Prince Georges. I am very new at
: this kind of search and am wondering if it
: would be best if I come to Maryland or is
: there research help available by
: correspondence?
