Hello, all.
Enclosed is a wealth of information on the Parchman family which I have
received from Patrick Driscoll. The Parchmans were connected to the Burnetts
through Mary Elizabeth Parchman, who later married Blackstone Hardeman.
Blackstone Hardeman was a brother to Dorothy Hardeman, mother of Peter
Hardeman Burnett, first governor of California. Patrick would like to
correspond with anyone who has anything further on the Parchman's. I've
furnished him with everything I had on the Parchman connection, which came from
materials I got from Harold Coffman and the book "Cain-Burnett Kin".

Hi Kevin and folks,
Thanks Kevin for you help. I don't know if anybody out there is terribly
interested
in the Parchman (Perchment, Parchment) origins but I will copy and paste a file
that I received second hand about the family for what it is worth. It is only
partially documented but seems authoritative to me. I am interested in the
source
of the information that Kevin had on the WFT CD about Mary Elizabeth Parchman's
spouses - particularly James Amberson. He has to have been the James Amberson
who
spent his entire life in and around Butler County, PA and who died c1821. Two
of
his siblings married children of Peter Perchment which led me to believe at
first
that Mary Elizabeth was another. But the problems with that I mentioned in a
previous letter - so Mary Elizabeth might have been a daughter of Phillip. But
there are problems with that as well, as I mentioned. James is not a direct
ancestor of mine - a brother who did not marry a Perchment bears that distin
ction -
but he has some interesting and mysterious aspects to his life and to his
death. I
would be appreciative if anyone can be of help. Pat

"THE PARCHMAN FAMILY TREE
compiled by Lonnie Gerald Parcnman
The first recorded Parchman in America I have found was Nicholas Parchman, on a
tax list of BedFord County, Pa. in 1773. Bedford County, in the Allegheny
Mountains east of Pittsburgh, was barely opened for settlement, mostly by
Scotch-Irish and Germans (Pennsylvania Dutch). There were a number of Indian
massacres nearby and the colonists had to organize for protection. The
Pennsylvania Colonial Assembly (mostly Quakers who felt friendly toward the
Indians) was not very responsive to pleas from the besieged frontiersmen. I
presume that Nicholas was the father of the "3 brothers from Germany" who
rounded the American branches of the family according to family legend around
Clarksville, Tennessee. Nicholas was also listed on another tax list of
Allegheny Co, Pa in 1783, alone with another Parchman, Peter. Both names were
then spelled Parchment. Peter was probably the "brother that settled back
East." Another brother went to Tennessee and the third went to Texas according
to Tennessee legend. I have found the Tennessee legend to appear generally true
from U.S. census records I have combed through. A Texas legend says that the
Parchmans came from Scotland via South Carolina. I have examined all censuses
from 1790 to 1850, and most other census records up to 1900 and there were no
Parchmans found in South Carolina. Three of the wives of the first Texas clans
were from South Carolina, and one of them is credited with passing down the
story. Since she was over 80 at the time, she may have confused her ancestry
with her husband's.
The first "brother", Peter Parchment (spelled Perchment, Parchman, and
Perchmont in various censuses, tax lists, and pension records) was born about
1755, joined the 13th Virginia Regiment (later renamed the 9th) in January,
1777, as a private, fought at the Battles of Brandywine, Germantown, and
Monmouth, and probably spent the winter of 1777-78 at Valley Forge with
Washington's army. He had been recruited for Capt. James Sullivan's Company
from the Fort Pitt area, then claimed by the colony of Virginia. In 1778, his
company, under Major Taylor, was transferred to the Fort Pitt area to guard the
frontier against the British-incited Indians, along with the 13th Regiment
under the command of Col. John Gibson. During a march into Ohio to threaten the
British fort at Detroit, the 150 men under Col Gibson built a fort near
present-day Bolivar, Ohio, and called it Ft. Laurens after the then president
of the Continental Congress. During the winter, they were harrassed by Indians
and under went a 6 week siege by Indians during early 1779. Peter Perchment was
reported wounded in January . He later received a pension for this wound which
made him an invalid by shattering and breaking his arm. He received a pension
from the State of Virginia and from the United States. He also received a land
grant from the State of Pennsylvania. He was one of the original petitioners of
the General Assembly of Pa. for the creation of Allegheny Co (Pittsburgh) from
Westmoreland Co in 1787. He served as a captain of Pa militia (5th Co, 2nd
Reg.) in 1793. I haven't found out his sentiments about the Whiskey
Insurrection which occurred in western Pa in 1792-94. He had 12 children,
including 2 sons, John and Peter, according to a pension application filed by
his widow, Mary (Powell) Perchment, whom he married in 1790. He was a farmer in
Pitt Township, later renamed Wilkins Twp as Pittsburgh annexed its eastern
suburbs. Peter died February 12, 1844, at 88 and was buried in the oldest
cemetery of Wilkins Twp at the old Beulah Church (Presbyterian). In the 1820
census he didn't claim foreign birth, but in l870, both John and Peter claimed
their father was foreign-born. In 1880, Peter claimed his father was born in
Pa. John (b 1796) was a prominent farmer near Wilkinsburg and was an original
officer of the first Methodist Church built in Wilkins Twp in 1843. Peter (b
1801 was also well off, and was, for a time the innkeeper of Perchment Tavern
in Wilkins Twp. Mary (b 1798) married Hugh Forsythe, whose log house was moved
from Wilkinsburgh to East Iiberby (later annexed by Pittsburgh) and dedicated
in 1917 "as a memorial to a pioneer settler and Revolutionary soldier, Captain
Peter Perchment." Three of John's sons were physicians in Pittsburgh between
1860 and 1885. One of these, John Perchment, was elected to the Pittsburgh City
Council in 1885. The widow of another, Mrs. Peter D. Perchment, was listed in
the Social Directory of Pittsburgh in 1904.
The second "brother," John Parchment (later descendants mostly spelled it
Parchman), was born between 1770 and 1775. In the 1880 census, one son said his
father was born in Pennsylvania, one son claimed Germany, and another claimed
Tennessee (which was unlikely, since only East Tennessee had any white settlers
then.) Family tradition around Clarksville, Tennessee says that he came to
Stewart Co in 1789 as one of the first settlers of the Cumberland River Valley.
The first party to arrive in Middle Tennessee was that of John Donelson's
original settlers who founded Nashville, Tennessee (called French Lick) in
1780. All Tennessee censuses before 1820 were destroyed by the British when
they burned the U. S. capital in Washington in 1814, but there is evidence for
early arrival by John Parchment. In the Tennessee Historical Society ,papers on
file at the State Library and Archives in Nashville, there is a handwritten
manuscript (no author) on some of the history of Stewart County, which says,
"The first settlement in Stewart County was made near Cumberland City by James
Tagert in 1784 or 1785. The next earliest settlers in the county were David and
Lewis Roling. John Parchman settled on Guice"s Creek in 1790." At the time the
area was part of Tennessee County and then Montgomery County before being
designated Stewart Co in 1803. (Stewart Co originally extended from Kentucky
to Mississippi and included all of West Tennessee, which was still under
Chickasaw Indian control. According to McClain's "A History of Stewart County
Tennessee", there were numerous Indian depredations during the 1790's in this
vast wilderness of Indian hunting grounds, "but people still came to the
Cumberland region and settled.") John Parchment served on the Grand Jury of
Stewart Co in Sept, 1804, during the first year of the new county. John was in
court numerous times over the next 30 years as juror, buying and selling land,
and participating as plaintiff and defendant is civil cases. He purchased 177
acres on Guices Creek ("it being the place whereon the said Parchment now
lives...") from Thos. Herod with 3 neighbors serving as witnesses (Jas. Tagert,
Elijah Curtis, and John Kizer), on September 16, 1813. In a will dated May 1,
1831 and recorded in Feb. 1832, (Vol. C, p. 174) John Parchment's heirs were
listed as: wife, Margaret (or Martha), daughter, Nancy (m. Joel Mann);
daughter Elizabeth (m Abraham Stanley); daughter Polly (m. Wm. Curtice); sons
James, Jacob, John, Jesse, and Larner. In the 1850 census, Nancy Mann (b 1796
in Tennessee) and Leonard (b 1816) were living with the Jefferson Gentry
Household. Mrs. Mary Gentry may have been Nancy's daughter since there was a
Joel Gentry (10 years old). Also living in the household was John Parchment (b
1846), apparently Leonard's son. Another of Leonard's sons, William (b 1848)
was living with his grandfather, Wm. Dowdy, so Leonard's wife Nancy E. Dowdy
Parchman (m June 26, 1844) must have died. Living next to the Gentry family was
that of Jesse Parchment (b 1813). Living only 3 households away was the family
of Jacob Parchment (b 1807), and 6 households away was the family of John
Parchment (b 1810). James Parchment (b 1801) had moved his family to Henderson
County by 1830. Mary (Folly) Curtis (b 1803) was living 14 households away.
Elizabeth Stanley (b ?) was not listed in Stewart Co in 1850 Although her
father sold Abraham Standlay 50 acres on July 29, 1816.
Leonard Parchment and his son John (d 1868) are not found again in the records,
but his son William left heirs. James left heirs in Henderson, Chester, and
Lauderdale Counties. Jacob had many children, leaving heirs in Stewart Co as
well as Denton Co, Texas. John left descendants in Stewart Co as well as
Prairie Co, Ark. His second wife, Sally (Kelly), was still alive according to
the 1900 census. Jesse left many descendants in Houston Co when it was
separated from Stewart Co in 1871. It appears from the 1900 census that some of
James' sons may also have moved back to Houston Co.
Many of the 3rd generation Parchmans fought in the Civil War. Of the Tennessee
Clan, many were captured in the major battle of Fort Donelson on the Cumberland
several miles from Dover, the county seat of Stewart Co. Gen. U. S. Grant
captured the fort and about 12.000 prisoners during a blizzard and a flood on
the river in February, 1862. The confederates had no provisions and no sleep
for 5 days before the surrender and many suffered frostbite from the severe
cold. General Nathan B. Forrest's troops escaped by slipping away during the
night. The captured soldiers were shipped to Camp Douglas in Chicago, where
many more died from disease and exposure. General Grant established his
headquarters in Dover and secured the Tennessee and Cumberland Rivers to cut
the Confederacy supply lines and provide supplies for the Union push into
Mississippi. Alabama. and Georgia. For the rest of the war, guerrilla warfare
by Forrest and others (as well is unprincipled opportunists) laid waste to
Stewart Co. Union gunboats bombarded any town or house near any suspected
sharpshooters. Suspected guerillas were arrested and hung or shot by the Union
army. Union sympathizers were also executed by the guerillas and vigilantes.
Livestock were frequently raided by the occupation army. Mules were
requisitioned for the Army. By the end of the war, there were only 4 buildings
standing in Dover, there were no horses or mules in Middle Tennessee, and most
fences had been used for firewood (McClain, A History of Stewart Co).
After the Civil War, the personal property and real estate listed in the 1870
census indicated that the Parchman families had lost much of the wealth that
had been indicated in the 1860 census. The families had slaves since the 1830
census, and by 1860 each family reported 8-20 slaves and property valued at
$5-12000 (l lot of money then). Since much of the property was in reality
slaves, there was no capital or other wealth in much of the South after
Emancipation. An interesting sidelight of the Parchman family history results
from the naming of the freed slaves for their masters. There were thus about
200 blacks with the Parchman name in the 1870 census of Tennessee, Mississippi,
and Texas. Some of these were still living on the farms and even in the
households of their former masters. By 1880, many of the third generation of
John Parchment's descendants were moving on to Arkansas and Texas. My own
ancestry traces back as follows: L. Gerald (b 1938) was the 3rd child of Lonnie
Lee (b 1911), the 2nd son of Abner (b 1888), the 1st child of Jacob A. (b 1860
in Tennessee), the 1st child of Benjamin K. (b 1837 in Tennessee and moved his
family to Prairie Co. Ark about 1870), the 3rd child of John (b 1810) the 6th
child of John, the "brother who came to Tennessee" about 1789. Benjamin was one
of the soldiers captured at Ft Donelson and interred at Camp Douglas, along
with most of Company B, 50th Tennessee Regiment, raised in Stewart Co.
According to Goodspeed's History of Tennessee (p. 916), in the middle 1800's,
John Parchman and William Parchen (his son?) were businessmen in Dover. John
was also a justice of the peace in 1838 and 1844. In 1835, he filed suit to
remove William Curtis as guardian of minor heirs of Joel Mann, deceased, and
that he and Nancy Mann be appointed guardians of Elizabeth, Martha, Nancy and
Margaret Mann. He was married to his second wife Sally Kelley on September 17,
1841. (First wife unknown) Benjamin Parchman married Theera G. Dowdy (b 1839)
on Nov. 28, 1857.
Jesse Parchman was the County Clerk of Stewart Co from 1854 to 1856 and served
on the first grand jury of the newly created Houston County in 1871. His son,
M.J. Parchman was Justice of the Peace in 1874.
Another interesting sidelight is the apparent marriage of Mary Parchman
(Benjamin's sister) on October 21, 1864, to James Parchman, perhaps a cousin
from Henderson Co(?). There were 3 or 4 Jameses as well as Johns and Jesses in
every generation. Around 1870, Mary (divorced and living with her daughter,
Triona and a niece, Mary Askew, by the 1880 census) moved with Benjamin and
another brother, John, and all their families, to Arkansas. Triona was born in
Arkansas, but I don't know what happened to James.
The third German "brother" Phillip, was born before 1775, and is apparently the
Philip (or Phillip) Percham (or Perchmen or Perchman) found in documents in
Pennsylvania Archives who served in the Pennsylvania Militia from Washington
County (contiguous to Allegheny Co) between 1778 and 1785 on the frontier with
Captain Zodak Wright (Battalion not stated). There was no Phillip Parchment,
etc, in Pennsylvania in the 1790 census. The name Parchman is so unusual in any
census that there are almost no families with a similar first syllable. Rarely
there is a Percher or a Parchmore and often a Parkman, but anyone with a last
name resembling Parchman or Perchment has proved to be related to one of the
three "brothers" or their slaves! (In a letter I received from the
Arboitsgemeinschaft fur mitteldeutsche Familienforschung e.V. in Hesse-Kassel
West Germany, the name is even rare in Germany (as Parchmann). I have
correspondence with several Parchmanns listed in the Berlin telephone directory
that confirms their ancestry several generations ago around the Parchim region
of Mecklenburg, now in East Germany, from which information is now very
difficult to come by.) The next reference to Phillip is from Goodspeed's
History of Term (p. 848) in History of Robertson County) in which Phillip
Parchment is listed on the first Petit Jury (Robertson County was formed from
Tennessee County in 1796). On July ], 1809, Phillip Parchment "of Robertson
County" sold 359 acres of land in Stewart County for Four hundred dollars to
James Fletcher. By 1820 Phillip was enumerated in Lawrence Co along with a
James Parchman by the first extant Tennessee census. Lawrence County then
extended from Hickman Co south to the Alabama line and straddled the Natchez to
Nashville Trace. Phillip and his offspring have been hard to trace since they
moved around and scattered from each other rather early. I feel sure that
Phillip's offspring are the ones referred to who "went to Texas". In 1820, 2 of
Phillip's sons were likely the 2 Parchman families in Monroe Co, Mississippi
(Aberdeen). By 1330, Phillip disappeared from the census but the Jesse Parchman
from Monroe County, Mississippi, had moved back to Carrol County in the
newly-opened Chickasaw Cession of West Tennessee. By 1840 Jesse had been joined
in Fayette Co (east of Memphis) by the James listed earlier in Lawrence Co. In
1850, Jesse's and James's families were found in Harrison Co, Texas (Marshall),
including 2 of Jesse's married sons who had begun their families in Tennessee.
Jesse's family floated down the Mississippi River and up the Red River on
"large log rafts, bringing household goods, livestock, etc., with them. In
proceeding upriver they poled the rafts and sometimes used livestock on the
river banks towing the raft. The Parchmans settled at Karnak near Marshall,
Texas." According to Mrs. Launa Parchman Ragle in her book, A History of the
Parchman Family (available for $!0 from Mrs. Ragle, Route 1, Ralls, Texas,
79357), Jesse's descendants moved to Mr. Vernon, Texas where they farmed and
operated an oxen powered cotton gin. Jesse's family arrived in Texas in 1841,
while James's arrived about 1846. Jesse died in 1848 according to a probate
record in the County Clerk's office. The clan in East Texas spread into East,
Central, and West Texas, as well as Oklahoma, but .lost track of the
descendants of James. I have now located James's descendants in the counties
around San Antonio in the 1900 census.
Meanwhile, back in Monroe Co, Mississippi, the other brother, John, listed in
the 1820 census was joined by 2 more families in 1830, Peter and Henry D. All
of the ages of the Mississippi and Texas clans would support their being
children of Phillip. One other Parchman remains to be accounted for of all the
Parchmans living in America by 1820. Aquilla Parchman was a private in Capt.
Thomas Marks' Co of the 1st Regiment of Tennessee Militia in the War of 1812,
having served in 1814-1815. According to Texas legend reported by Mrs. Ragle,
Aquilla was the progenitor of the Parchmans in America, being the father of
John, Phillip, Peter, James, and Jesse. Aquilla ia reported to have "died afar
from home near Baton Rouge, Louisiana." I think that perhaps Aquilla was the
son of Phillip since Phillip served in the Revolution in Pennsylvania and
served on a Robertson Co jury around 1800 and sold land in Stewart Co in 1809,
Jesse and James eventually went to Texas, while John and Peter moved to Monroe
Co, Mississippi. Henry was not mentioned in the legend, and census records
indicate he may have died without heirs. John's son (?) John Jack named his
first-born Aquilla Henderson in 1851. All of the clan in Mississippi spelled
their name as "Parchman" from the beginning. The births, gleaned from census
records, were: John (1780-1790); Jesse (1780-1790);
James (1793); Peter (1805) and Henry (1800-1810). Aquilla was probably born
about 1795 since most soldiers were about 19 years old. From the same
reasoning, Phillip was probably born around 1760 since he served in the
Revolution around 1780.
Like the Tennessee clan, the Mississippi clan prospered. By 1850, John, the
first brother in the county to remain, had died leaving behind at least 6 sons,
29 slaves (enumerated in 1840), and a divorced wife in the northern area of
Monroe County near Smithville (present-day near Amory). Peter was living with
his third wife apparently, having ha 9 sons and finally a daughter by the third
wife, 34 slaves (enumerated tn 1850), and $3984 valuation in real estate. By
1860, John Jack (son of John? )listed real-estate valued at 2400 dollars and
personal property (including 19 slaves) of $19168. . ..
The Civil war took amore devastating toll of the Mississippi clan. Two of
John's sons died during their service (John A., a corporal in Co. A., 5th
Mississippi Reg., died of disease at Laurel? on July 27, 1862. James A., a pri
vate in Co. A, 43rd Miss. Reg. was killed at Corinth in 1862). Peter's son,
Richard D, a sergeant in Co L. 41st Reg. was sent home from the hospital at
Dalton, GA. to die of pneumonia on September 20, 1863. Lyles J. (son of Peter
of John?) joined the 2nd Battalion of Miss. Cavalry in Pontotoc County while
his son James joined the 11th Reg. of infantry ("Prairie Rifles"). James
served at Lynchburg and Richmond and fought at 2nd Manassas and Gettysburg,
where he was wounded, He was wounded several other times also and was reported
to have contracted syphilis or gonorrhea.
I
~ After the Civil War, many of the Parchman families left
Mississippi. two of John Jack's sons moved their families to Red River County,
Texas. Two cousins 'also moved to Red River County-William H. and John, the
sons of William (b. 1810 in Term), another of John's sons. Another cousin of
unknown connection was living in Van Buren, Arkansas in the 1900 census. The
establishment of Parchman, Mississippi, in Sunflower Co, Mississippi, occurred
about 1900, when the state moved the penitentiary there from Jackson in order
to build the new state capitol on the old penitentiary grounds. About 8000
acres were purchased from a Jim Parchman, and the Warden in 1899 was a Capt. J.
M. Parchman. However, there were no Parchmans found in census records of
Sunflower Co in 1860, 1870, or 1900, so the family myths (in several Texas
families I've contacted) about their origins from Parchman, Mississippi, cannot
be correct.
In my search through records contained at the Historical Society of
Pennslyvania at Philadelphia and at the Federal Records Center in Philadelphia,
I have been aided as to where to look by letters received from numerous
Parchmans in Tennessee and Texas, whose names I obtained from telephone
directories and by calling "information" as well as from other relatives. Thank
you for your help. I was also aided by State Libraries and Archives' of
Virginia, Tennessee, and' Mississippi, and also the library of the Historical
Society of Western Pennsylvania. In reading through biographies and histories
in search of clues, my awareness of American history, especially the westward
migration of the pioneers, was greatly heightened. Stories I had read in
history books or watched on television became more personal when I realized
that our own ancestors truly experienced the trials, deprivations, fears,
hopes, successes, and failures in their push into the frontier in search of a
better life. Parchmans were pushing at the frontier in western Pennsylvania,
Middle Tennessee, northern Mississippi, and Texas before any of these were
states in the Union, when they were still surrounded by Indians and the wild
erness. I have not examined states in the far West, but I would not be
surprised to find a Parchman name in California before 1860. From information I
have, however, most Parchmans live in west Tennessee, Texas, Mississippi, and
Arkansas. The only large concentration of Parchmans I haven't connected to the
family tree is in Cincinnati, Ohio, only because they haven't answered any
letters.
I have accumulated over a thousand names from censuses and letters and have
been able to connect almost all to the family tree, since I have most of the
names, births, and county residences of the first 3 or 4 generations in.
America. I have mimeographed almost 30 pages of census records of Parchmans
between 1790 and 1900. I also have a card file of names and their probable
relation ships. I would be happy to supply this information to anyone who sends
$3.00 to cover my expenses, but I also plan to deposit the family information
into genealogical libraries at Pittsburgh and Nashville, and in Texas and
Mississippi for future generation use.
