A different Parton family

[S84] E-Mail, Jerry Black [shadow700076@yahoo.com], 23 Jan 2012.


John Parton born 10-17-1754 Southwarke Parish, Surry County, Virginia
 Father John Parton
died 8-11-1846 Union Point, Greene County, Georgia
 Mother Mary Hewitt
1st wife not known ar this time

2nd wife Talitha Price born 1786 Richland County, South Carolina
marriage date 3-31-1807 Richland County, South Carolina obtained from Price decendent

Sources: Land, court, & church records Surry County, Virginia
Records out of Rowan County, North Carolina
Richland County, South Carolina marriage records
Records out of Greene County, Georgia
1840 Geene County, Georgia Census

The Surry families around 1760 started moving south including John.s father and mother. They died in Halifax County, North Carolina John's 1st wife was out of what now is Rowan County, North Carolina and some records though scant indicate she died form complications from childbirth having Moses in 1805. No name yet only 1 notation but did not show her name.

Census records show John living alone and widowed age 91 in Union Point, Georgia in1840. Union Point was orignally called Scruggsville. Records fom Georgia indicate Talitha died in 1839 but not solid.

We have traced the line to Richard Parton 1523 & Emaline Richardson 1525, Wem, Shropshire, England. It is one of the oldest lines in the U.S. coming through Isle of Wight, Virginia
This is a different Parton family that gets connected in error with John Parton of Tennessee.

Believed to have died in Greene County, Tennessee.

  Like Santa, I'm making a list and checking it twice !! Looking for that Parton..Parten..Partin..Pertan..P???

 Checking ship passenger lists one small spark of hope so far
Robert Partin Born 1588? in Gloucestershire, England
Listed on the ship "blessing" in 1609 headed to Virginia!
Might be his wife Mary Margrett Hayle and children came by ship 5 years later.
****************************************************************************


Pursuant to a letter from John Robinson, secretary of the Treasury, December 8, 1773, customs officials in England and Scotland supplied lists of persons who took passage on ships leaving Great Britain during the years 1773-1776, giving names, ages, quality, occupation, employment, former residence, reasons for emigrating, and the name of the vessel and master. These records, somewhat incomplete as now preserved in the Public Record Office of Great Britain under the classification Treasury Class 47, Bundles 9-12, contain many thousands of names and important information on a remarkable 'population movement which was of great significance to America and of arresting attention to the landed and manufacturing interests and the government of Great Britain They have been printed in part in The New England Historical and Genealogical Register (1908- 1911).
The largest group consisted of indented servants bound for New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia and the next largest, of emigrants sailing from ports in northern England to Nova Scotia, Virginia, and New York. The emigration practically ceased after September, 1775. the movement from Scotland was due chiefly to the oppressive rent policy of the Highland proprietors and middlemen of the region extending from Ayr County to the Shetland Islands. A traveler on an emigrant ship in 1774 wrote: "It is needless to make any comment on the conduct of our Highland and Island proprietors. It is self evident what. consequences must be produced in time from such numbers of subjects being driven from the country." Should levies be again necessary,. the recruiting drum may long be at a loss to procure such soldiers as are now aboard this vessel."
