The Bible record is in the possession of descendants.  They kindly shared a
copy.

Benjamin Parsons was the son of Joseph and Margaret Griffith Parsons of
Pittsylvania County Virginia.  He and his wife, Sarah Burton Parsons,
daughter of Elisha and Eliz. Chamberlain Burton, traveled to
Rockcastle/Lincoln County, KY with his brother, Samuel, and the family of
Peter James Bailey.  Benjamin and Sarah were married December 20, 1790 in
Pittsylvania County, VA.

Samuel's wife was the daughter of Peter James Bailey.  Benjamin remained in
KY and his brother Samuel lived for a short time in Logan County, KY and
then finally settled in Pike County, MO.

If anyone is researching this family, I have information on the Parsons of
Pittsy. and will be happy to share.
