Parsons Family Group Record copied from Ancestral File compliled 3 Feb 1994 !NOTE: BIOGRAPHY: It is not known just when Vincent Parsons moved to Washington County (now Greene Co.). He was on the tax lists in York County in 1781-2-3-4. In 1800 he was located in Morris Twp., Greene Co., Pa.(Census). At the time of 1810 he was still in Morris Twp., Greene Co.(1810 census). It is possible that in 1820 he was living in the household of Joseph Parsons in Morris Twp. The Gorby Book states that Henry Parsons (presumably a son of Vincent) was born in 1785, probably in Greene Co. By analyzing census records it was concluded that Vincent's wife died sometime between 1810 and 1820. Vincent Parsons was involved in several land transactions in Greene County in the nineteenth century. the latest record found involving Vincent Sr. etal & Joseph Parson was a land transfer to John Mattix. Vincent's name was sometimes recorded as Pearson, Parson, and in a few cases Pierson and Person. Vincent Parsons and Miriam Parsons were witnesses to a land transfer in York County in1787 by Henry Parsons to Daniel Jones. (Note by John F. Burton: the identity of Miriam has not been determined.)
