One of the early Parrott lines is that of William Parrott. This is an attempt to place the bits and pieces of information floating around into one place, so as to aid future research. The photo at left is of 'Parrott's Cage' also known as 'The Cage.' The following description is from Stein, 1961:
"William Parrott, an early Puritan, received a grant of The Cage in 1652,and probably built the brick dwelling, which is one of the oldest and most interesting houses in Calvert County. It stands on the shore of the Patuxent between Battle Creek and St. Leonard's Creek. Later it was acquired by James Mckall. Since the American Revolution, it has been owned by the Parran family, descendants of Dr. Thomas Parran, Surgeon General of the American Army during the Revolution." | ||

From: Stein, Charles Francis. 1961. A History of Calvert County Maryland. 2nd Ed. Schneidereith & Sons, Baltimore, MD:
"Another Puritan who settled in St. Leonard's Creek Hundred, was William Parrott, one of the Puritan Commissioners of Calvert County in 1654. The well proportioned old brick house still standing on the shores of the Patuxent River about midway between St. Leonard's Creek and Battle Creek marks the site. It is known as Parrott's Cage, or simply, The Cage. This property has been in the possession of the Parran family for many generations and is one of the finest plantations in Calvert County."
"William Parrott served also as an Associate Justice during part of the Puritan era."
"St. Leonard's Creek Hundred was settled at a very early date, and most of its choicest locations came into the possession of Cavalier families, such as the Brookes, the Broomes, and Attorney-General Richard Smith, and of the original group of Puritans, such as Peter Johnson, Robert Taylor, and William Parrott."
[Note: the following passage has at least 2 innacuracies. First, it states William was a Huguenot, simply because there are records for Parot Huguenots in England. This conclusion totally ignores the fact that there were also Perrots in England, who were not of Huguenot origin. Secondly, there is no proof Gabriel was son of William, and it must be explained why William does not mention Gabriel in his will. The Benjamin mentioned can also be a descendant of Gabriel Jr.]
"William Parrott was one of the Puritan settlers of lower Calvert County. In 1652 he received a grant of The Cage, sometimes called "Parrott's Cage," a plantation on the Patuxent River, about midway between St. Leonard's Creek and Island Creek. Like many of the Puritans, the Parrott family were French Huguenots. Their name appears on the early Huguenot records in England as Parot. William Parrott was a Justice during the Puritan era, and held other offices. He owned lands in Anne Arundel County and in Prince George's County, as well as in Calvert. He had a son, Gabriel Parrott, who resided for the most part in Anne Arundel County. His daughter Susannah Parrott, married George Parker II, and and after his death she became the wife of Col. John Mackall. Many famous men and women of later generations trace their ancestry back to the Parrott family though this marriage. Benjamin Parrott, who is listed on the Rent Rolls as the owner of Stoakley, was probably a son of Gabriel Parrott. He seems to have been the last of the men of the Parrott family to have resided in Calvert County."
