Notes
There is another John Parham (1772-1827) living in nearby Union County, South Carolina, but it does NOT appear that it is the same John Parham that was apparently married to Margaret Smith for a short time. The other John Parham that died in 1827 named his wife Polly in his will, who was the mother of his children for several years.
