Parrott Family Bible Records

Note: Simon B. Parrott was one of five sons (probably the youngest) of
John Parrott (ca. 1730-1791) and Elizabeth Oxley (ca. 1740-1820/30, who
moved from Bertie County, NC, to that part of Dobbs County included in
present-day Lenoir.  He may have been named for a neighbor of the
family, Capt. Simon Bright (ca. 1734-1776), a prominent colonial
official and early patriot of the American Revolution, who died about
the time Simon Parrott was born.  Around 1803, Simon married Bramley
Murphrey, daughter of Jethro Murphrey and Penelope Ward (see above -
Murphrey family Bible records.)  In the 1830's, the couple moved from
Lenoir County to the Darlington District of South Carolina.  Simon died
there in 1860, in his eighty-fourth year; his widow, Bramley, died the
following year, age seventy-six.  Although this couple did not live out
their lives in Lenoir County, they neverless left many descendants in
the region, including those of a daughter, Mary Parrott Hodges
(1808-1842), who pre-deceased her parents.

  The following information is from a Bible formerly in the possession
of a Mrs. Lee, who lived near Early Crossroads, Darlington Co., SC.
Additional information comes from the will (1854) and codicil (1859) of
Simon Parrott.
