Hi Bobbi:
Do you have anything on Joseph Parrott who was born ca. 1800 in NC may have been in ALA before going to TN and then to IL. He was married to Meddy Perry 1834 in Franklin County, NC. On the 1850 census in Hardin County, IL. and witnessed an application for Civil War Pension for his daughter, Amanda (my g-grandmother) in 1874 in Gallatin County, IL. He is buried in Parrott Cemetery, north of Rosiclaire, IL. I have pictures of the cemetery. It is VERY hard to find.

Meddy Perry Parrott was thought to be (family legend) full blooded Chickasaw Indian. I have no proof of that. Amanda Parrott married Britton Yarber ca. 1857 in IL. They had one child, William Burrill Yarber, (my grandfather) before Britton died. Amanda then married Tom Clark and had 8 more children.

Amanda is buried near Shawneetown, IL.

Martha Parrott, Amanda's sister, married first to Isaac Mayfield, from TN. Second marriage to William Mosely.

I have some information on Daniel, Henry and George Parrott, (Joseph's sons) and a little on Mary and Maranda. (Joseph's daughters, along with Nancy, Amanda and Martha).

Any help you can give will be appreciated and I will share whatever information I have.

Thanks
