Looking for any information on PARSONS from OCHRE PIT COVE. My Grandfather WILLIAM PARSONS was born there (married LOIS GREENLAW from CABONEAR). He had 3 siblings FRANK, MILTON & LAURA. I come from a family of 5 generations of WILLIAM PARSONS, the 1st and oldest WILLIAM I have no information on except that he married EMMA BESSIE. |

Hello, my husband's great grandmother is Mary Ann "Annie" Parsons from Ochre Pit Cove. All we know according to the Blackhead-Methodist Parish Marriage Records (1842-1861) is that she married a William Jenkins from Western Bay on 14 Dec 1860. We do not have any information on her parents or family. Do you have any additional information on the Parson's from Ochre Pit Cove? or know the best resource to search information? Warm regards. |

Hello group, I'm looking for a bit of information about the Parson's of the St. John's area. My ggg-grandfather, John Henry (JC) Parsons (b. 1806-1814, d. 25 January 1871) may have lived in Newfoundland before immigrating to the United States (first New York, and ultimately Philadelphia) by the 1840's. His father was probably a certain Jonathan Parsons, who I understand was a famous watchmaker in St. John's. Jonathan, and for that matter, John Henry, may very well have been born in England before coming to Canada. Does anyone have any further information on this Parson's line? My email address is southern_dude21@hotmail.com. Thanks! Tim |

After some further information, here's what I got now. Any one else have further info? I'm looking for a bit of information about the Parson's of the St. John's area. My ggg-grandfather, "Henry" (John C.) Parsons (b. 1806-1814, d. 25 January 1871) was born in St. John's, Nfld. Henry was known to be a cabinet-maker, and immigrated to the United States (first New York, and ultimately Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) by the 1840's, and died in Philadelphia. His father was Jonathan Parsons (approx. 1777-1831), originally of Harbour Grace. And his mother was (Mary) Charlotte Butler (approx. 1787-1838). In particular, I'm trying to find out if this Henry Parsons is the same man who first married Harriet Bearns in Nfld, only to later divorce her in the US and then marry Mary Swan Tunison. Henry and Mary had a son named "Harry" (Henry) (1858-1943). I'm trying to find out if Henry Sr.'s parents are indeed Jonathan and Charlotte. Thanks for any info you may have! Tim |
