Parrott, Frederick Switzerland/Alsace Lorraine, 1737 Married Barbara Edwards and/or Margaret. Lived in the present-day area of Maurertown.

John was the son of Frederick Parrott who moved to Shenandoah around 1737 from Alsace/Lorraine. John married (1) Catherine Meyer (2) Lucey. He is listed in the 1783 census as having ten white people in his household. He moved to Tenn. soon after this. I am interested in the eight people living in his household outside of John and his wife, Lucey. I know the names of only two children living there at the time. Went to Tennessee.
