    Notes 
    • The Parsons family apparently descended from one John Parsons, Esquire, of London, an Adventurer of the Virginia Company, who arrived in Virginia in 1619. His wife's name was probably Elizabeth. They had at least one son, also named John Parsons (1639 -1711) who married Ann Thomas. They resided in York County, Virginia. John and Ann Parsons had four children; Elizabeth (1669), William (1671), John (1673) and Anna. It is believed that William moved to Richmond or Elizabeth City County, and had a son also named William, born in 1697, who married a Harrison. This William was probably the father of Robert Parsons (1720 - 1777) of Sussex County. Obviously, further research is needed to clarify this line of descent.
      Sally's grandfather was Robert Parsons, who was born in 1720. He married Eleanor Hines (bom 1725) about 1744. They established themselves in Sussex County and raised a family of seven children; William/Robert (1745), Amy (1746), Henry (1749), Eleanor (1752), Mary (1755), Unity/Uriah (1757) and Elizabeth. Eleanor died 11/9/1770 and Robert died in!777, in Sussex County. Robert Parsons was apparently a well-to-do plantation owner. [1]
