Family synopsis:

This one family appears to have the greatest number of descendants in the US, where it probably accounts for an estimated half of all current Parrott individuals. A list of known descendants over the past 4 centuries has been compiled, though living individuals have been excluded.

The diagram below illustrates the way the various individuals from this family and which have had their DNA tested are thought to be related. Solid lines indicate known relationships; dashed lines indicate suspected relationships:

The origin of Nathaniel Parrott has long been a mystery, as has the origin of Luke Parrott. A "Delivered to Luke Parrott" notation on the left margin (see photo, below) on a deed probated in Pittsylvania county on 16 January 1786, whereby Thorpe Parrott is selling land to his father Nathaniel, suggests Luke is of that family; DNA also shows him related to Richard of Middlesex. The first Nathaniel is not the right age to be a grandson or great-grandson of Richard, making it most likely that Nathaniel is descended from Richard's brother, Robert.

Robert has been a bit of mystery, and there is only one known reference to his existence: On a deed dated 4 January 1672, whereby Richard Perrot of Middlesex County gent., specifies that "... and in case of no issue [my lands] go to my brother Robert Parrott, two eldest sons and their heirs."
