General Notes: Husband - Henry Parrish



PARRISH, Henry
1786-1831
BERRIEN

HENRY PARRISH, ancestor of most of the name in Wiregrass Georgia, was born in South Carolina, January 27, 1786, a son of Henry Parrish, R.S., and his wife, Mrs. Mary Ann (Monk) Parrish.  His parents moved to Bulloch County, Georgia, while he was yet a boy, and he grew up and married there and lived there until his removal to what was then Lowndes but now Berrien County in 1825.  He lived in Lowndes, now Berrien, County, until his death May 23, 1831, at the age of 45 years.

Mr. Parrish was married in Bulloch County November 22, 1811, to Miss Nancy Williams, daughter of James Williams, R.S., (q.v.).  She was born July 30, 1794, and died February 11, 1886.  To Mr. and Mrs. Parrish were born nine children:

1. Elizabethb. 1813, m. Malcolm McCranie.
2. Mary E.b. 1814, m. George Carter.
3. Jamesb. 1816, m. Tabitha Devane, daughter of Francis.
4. Ezekiel W.b. 1818, m. Martha C. Wooten, daughter of Redden.
5. Josiahb. 1820, m. Mary Sutton, daughter of John.
6. Anselb. 1824, m. Molcy Knight, daughter of William C.
7. Williamb. 1826, m. (1) Rebecca Devane, daughter of Francis (2) Mrs. Martha Gaskins Connell.
8. Matthew A.b. 1829, m. Sarah Giddens, daughter of Isbin.
9. Absalomb. 1830, m. Mary E. Walters.  Moved to Arkansas.

Mr. Parrish settled in the present Berrien County community known as Lois.  Lois Cemetery is located on the old Parrish farm.  Henry Parrish's grave was perhaps the first to be placed there, and is the oldest marked grave in the county.  This territory was cut out of Lowndes into Berrien County in 1856.

Mrs. Nancy Parrish, the widow, and Malcolm McCranie were the administrators on the estate.  In later years, the widow married Henry Peeples but there was no further issue.  She was a member of Pleasant Primitive Baptist Church.

Note:  Mrs. Florrie Parrish Hendry of Adel, became the first descendant to join the D.A.R. on descent from Henry Parrish, R.S.  She is a member of John Floyd Chapter D.A.R.  Her National No. 386789.

Note:  Hon. J. J. Parrish of Adel, in his book entitled "PARRISH" published 1948, has traced all the descendants of Henry Parrish, the subject.
