PDFs freely available: Reksten, Harald and Wayne Parrott. 2009. A re-examination of the relationships among the Parrott families of the American Colonies in the 17th century. Magazine of Virginia Genealogy Feb 47(1):21-43 & May 47(2):129-147 , originally published by the Virginia Genealogical Society. To help those working on Parrott genealogy, this is an attempt to catalogue all the P-rr-tt families of North America in one comprehensive web site, and to assist with the interpretations of an ongoing P-rr-tt Surname DNA project. Already, enough information is available from DNA testing to know that the Parrott surname is used by at least five unrelated families. Thus the eventual goals are to: Define which P-rr-tt families are related to each other Connect with the corresponding P-rr-tt families in Europe, Australia, and elsewhere

None of these lineages have had their DNA tested: John Parrott, marries Sally Hudgins, 14 June, 1761; Elizabeth Buchanan 25 July 1773.
