bullet  Research Notes:

From: Al Wootten Oct 1997

William J. (Billie) Parsons married Priscilla Parker, a fact for which I offer the following evidence:

I have a letter from aunt Hes -- Elizabeth Mary Hester Parsons, b.1847, d. 1941 -- concerning this.
William J. (Billie) Parsons brother was Will Peter Parsons, who was also aunt Hes' grandfather. She knew stories of Uncle Billie, and she states that he married "my mother's aunt Priscilla Parker" in the letter. This establishes that her mother's aunt and Priscilla Parker were sisters.

Her mother was Katherine Truitt Parsons b. 1809 who married my great grandfather Isaac Henry Parsons b. 1819. I have a Bible record which gives the family of Katherine Truitt: "George Truitt of Job was born the ninth day of September, 1758. His wife, Betsy Parker, was born the fourth day of April 1765. They were married on the tenth day of February 1785. Their children...#11 Katie Truitt wasborn the second day of June 1809. This establishes that Betsy Parker and Priscilla Parker were sisters.

Etha Parsons Yohe was descended from both Billie Parsons through her mother and from Billie's brother Will Peter Parsons through her father. Etha Parsons (Yohe) writes that William Parsons b. May 6, 1769 married, on 7 Dec. 1786, Priscilla Parsons, identifying her as a sister of George Parker of Job and the aunt of Katherine Truitt Parsons, "mother of my father Wash (Isaac Washington) Parsons." I believe that she confused Katherine's father George Truitt of Job with George Parker of Elisha, as
yet another record states that George Parker's father was Elisha.

I believe that this establishes that George, Priscilla and Betsy Parker were siblings, and children of Elisha who died ca 1787: Elisha Parker's will, proved in 1787, mentions a wife (no name given), four sons (Samuel Turner Parker, John Parker, Elisha Parker, and George Parker), five daughters (Mary Hearn, Abigail Turner, Betsy Parker, Rebekah Parker, and Prissey Parker), a grandson Elisha Turner, and a son-in-law Henry Turner.

Note that Betsy, Prissey and George are all named. Further, note that Priscilla Parker Parsons named one of her sons for her brother, GeorgeParker Parsons, and another Elisha Collins Parsons
after her father. Etha Parsons Yohe's mother's grandfather was Elisha C. Parsons, so I give her statement some weight.

I really do not have much room for doubt that William J. (Billie) Parsons married Priscilla Parker.
