1683 WILL. Susanna Parsons is named as the apparently single daughter of Thomas Parsons of Anne Arundel County, Maryland in his 1683 will. "I Thomas Parsons of Anne Arundel County in ye Province of Maryland, . . . . give & bequeath unto my daughters Mary Parsons & Susanna Parsons my plantation which I live upon & all things belonging thereunto. I give it unto them to be equally divided betwixt them after their mother's decease to be theirs & their heirs forever. . . . & for ye true performance hereof I have here set my hand and seal this tenth day of October in ye year of our Lord 1683. The mark (TP) of Thomas Parsens." SOURCE: Last Will & Testament of Thomas Parsons of Anne Arundel County, Maryland, transcribed by Curt L. Sytsma on March 11, 1999, from a photocopy of the original given to me by Dick & Sandy Rollins. Other sources indicate that the original is found in the Maryland Wills Books, Liber 4, Folio 28.

v. Sarah Parsons, born abt. 1673; married Richard Gott Aft. October 10, 1683. vi. Hannah Parsons, born abt. 1676.

I am a descendant of the Norris/Noreys-Parsons of England, via the lineage of Thomas Treadway . I am trying to locate information on Thomas Parsons, married to Isabella, who was the father of Elizabeth Parsons. Elizabeth Parsons was born in 1663 at Anne Arundel Md.

Thomas, her father was born at Anne Arundel, Md., in 1632. He died in the same place on 10 Oct 1683.

His father is listed as being Thomas, married to a Lydia Brown, of Windsor, Ct. This is where dates begin to get confusing. My data lists Thomas Parsons, father of Elizabeth, as being born 9 May 1605 at Windsor Ct. The same information, lists Thomas as being christened in Beaminster, Devonshire, England, in 1608/1609 and then returning to the US to Windsor, Ct. I believe the date might be incorrect for his birth.

The dates and location of his birth do not coincide. The Latter Day Saint genealogy site has this Thomas linked to families where the location of birth, birthdate or christening date do not coincide with other data listed for siblings.

The dates and parentage become more confusing as you precede to the previous generation, where two seperate families are listed as parental candidates. It seems in this case, that this generation of Thomas Parsons has possibly combined the generations of his grandfather and great grandfather, respectively.

I believe Elizabeth's grandfather Thomas, of Windsor, Ct, was born in England. Was his father William Parsons married to Margaret Hoskins, William Parsons married to Elizabeth Kidderminster, or, was his father Thomas/Hugh Parsons, who seems the most likey candidate namewise, who was married to Kate Radclift, daughter of Edward Radclift?

Looking for info on the ancestors of Mary PARSONS b.1662-4 W River, AA, MD, m.1683 to Mordecai PRICE, d.1718 Annapolis, AA, MD. Dau of Thomas & Isabella (HOLLAND) PARSONS I think. Any info on Thomas or Isabella or their ancestors?

Sharon, Thomas PARSONS birthplace and date unknown, died ca 1683. He lived in Northampton and Accomac Co. Va. and Elizabeth City, Va. He moved to Maryland and is found in 1663 rent rolls of Anne Arundel Co. He patented "Freindship" and "Greenwood" in 1663 with Artridge Greenwood. Part of these lands was sold by Thomas and wife, Isabella, to Benjamin CAPEL (Deeds, Bk. IN No. 4, p. 194, Hall of Records, Annapolis, Md.) Thomas married Isabella "Parsons" (maiden name?). Isabella died Autumn of 1717. His will, dated 10 Oct 1683, probated May 1684, left bequests to wife Isabella; Daughters Elizabeth, Isabel, Sarah, Hannah, and "my plantation after (their) mother's death" to Mary and Susannah. Ex.

Isabella's will, dated 10 Sept 1717; probated 22 Dec 1717, left bequests to dau Mary PRICE, residuary legatee; to grandsons Jacob Holland and Thomas Tucker, and to granddaughter Isabel Price.

Her sister Elizabeth md Thomas CARR. Do you know if they had a dau that md Francis Gartrell? (According to Gartrell History.) I'm also interested in any Tucker information. One source said Richard Tucker, father of Thomas, md Susannah Parsons. Ella Gartrell, Ohio

Thomas Parsons b. May 9, 1605 Hartford, CT d. Sept. 23, 1661 Hartford, CT

Children of Thomas and Lydia

Thomas b. 1632 William b. 1641 Bethia b. May 21,1642 Abigail b. January 21,1643 John b. Nov 13, 1647 Mary b. July 23, 1653 Ebenezer b. May 14, 1656 Samuel b. July 18, 1657 Joseph b. May 1, 1661

As you can see the birth dates of the first two children don't match with the marriage date. Either the person has the families mixed up or there was first marriage for Thomas.
