He married Mary ___________. She undoubtedly passed away inMecklenburg County, North Carolina. Thomas Parr, Senior resided in Mecklenburg County, North Carolinaduring the latter part of the eighteenth century. The first evidence ofhis presence in Mecklenburg County are two land purchases from DanielCarnes in 1789. It is highly likely that they mark his entrance into Mecklenburg County, as there are no Parr marriages filed in the Countyduring that early period. The deeds follow: Deed Book 13, page 704 This indenture made the 6th day of July Anno Dom. 1789 between Daniel Carnes of the one part and Thomas Pair of the other part, both of Mecklenburg County in the State of North Carolina.

Signed sealed & delivered in presence of Bridges (X) PairWm Rodgers {SEAL} Henry Massey Owen McCorkle Mecklenburg County October session 1792 the deed was proven in opencourt by Bridges Pair and admitted to record in order to be registered. Deed Book 16, Page 17 (Abstract): On 8 January 1795, Thomas Pair of Mecklenburg County, State of North Carolina sold to James Sprayberry of said County and state, fifty acreson the north side of the Waxhaw Creek, beginning at a Red oak on DanielCarnes line, thence east to Millan's line to a small pine, thenc e northto a corner on three black oaks, thence west to a small White Oak onFord's line, thenc e with said line south to a corner black oak on saidline near the spring branch, thence wes t to the beginning. Witnesseswere John Carnes, Claborn Pair and Thomas Crawford. It was signed Thomas(X) Pair. As indicated above, Thomas Parr, Senior made a series of land transactions in Mecklenberg County, North Carolina in the decades whichconcluded the eighteenth century, in which he eitherbought land from, orsold land to a number of Parr men. Many of these deeds were also witnessed by Parr men. The Parr families in Mecklenburg County includedat least the following , Of whom,only Jacob did not take part in a deed involving any of the other Parr men: Thomas and Mary Pair (Pear) Thomas Pair, Jr. (Pier, Pear) Thomas & Darcas, (Dorcas, Darkas) his wife Pair Bridges Pier (Pear, Pair, Pare) Allen Pear John & Elizabeth , his wife, Pair (Parr, Pear) Cleborn (Claborn, Caben, Claburn, Clayburn) Pair (Pear ) Jacob Pair Thomas Pair of Mecklenburg County, North Carolina bought a twenty acre parcel of land in Lancaster District, South Carolina, 31 January1804 from Jane Avent for $55.00. I do not know whether Thomas Pair,Senior or Junior bought the land in question, however the name James Aventappears as a witness to the two deeds above. (Lancaster Co, SC,Deed Book F, p. 233) There are no relationships mentioned in any of the wills, with theexception that Thomas Pair, Jr. Is so designated, and John Pair statesthat Thomas Pair is his father in a deed o f 3 June 1801 (Deed Book 17, p.796). An obvious inclination is to assume that all of thes e families are related, and further are perhaps sons of Thomas Pair, Senior, anassumption that is supported in the case of Thomas Pair, Junior, and John Pair. The sale of fifty acres by Thomas Pair (Pear) to Allen Pair(Pear), that was witnessed by both Thomas (Junior) and Brid ges, 20 August 1791, for the nominal sum of five shillings would seem to be indicativeof familial bond. On the same day, Thomas Pair sold fifty acres of landin Mecklenburg County to Claborn Pair for the same nominal sum of five shillings, a transaction that was also witnessed by Bridges Pair (Pier)and Thomas Pair (Pier, Junior). Following are two lists. The first is a list of when each Pair isfirst and last mention ed in county deeds, and the second is a list showing which Pair families appear in the same deeds. The role of the person in the horizontal column is indicated. Witnesses to deeds will appear only in the horizontal listing. Of each individual.

She wrote thefollowing: "I am descended from William Pare and Rebecca Bethel. William diedin 1757 in Sussex County, Virginia and named the following children: Bethel, who married Ann; John, who married Susanna, Thomas, who married May (could have been Mary-I got this fromAlbemarle Parish records); William who married Jane; Mary, who married John Pennington;Rebecca, who married Thomas Pennington; Martha, who married Thomas Pennington; Elizabeth, who married Benjamin Shews; Ann; and Aggie. "The Albemarle Parish records (I am reading a transcript, not anoriginal) state that Tho mas and May (but probably Mary) had a child named Lotta who was born in1752. There are no other children named for this couple, although other brothers and sisters havemany children listed as late as 1771. Thomas had probably moved. "Thomas was probably named for his grandfather. Rebecca Bethel, hismother was the daughter of Thomas and Rebecca Bethel, who were born in England and cameto Jamestown in 1698 when their child, Rebecca was six months old. "The earliest record that I have found of William Pare (Pear in therecord) is on 19 November 1712 in Surry County. He is a jury member. Another record (SurryCounty Deed Book 4, p. 15) 16 June 1742) William Pear and wife, Rebecca Pear, to John Hunt for 25pounds current money 150 acres on east side of Anderson's Branch swamp in AlbemarleParish and bounded by Harrison, Clement Handcock and said William Pear (being 440 acresgranted said Pear on 22 July 1738). "I feel that Rebecca and William were married by about 1716, becauseThomas and Rebecca Pennington had a daughter in 1734. "Bethel moved to Halifax County, North Carolina. I am beginning totrack this family."

He may have married a second time. He first appeared in the Union County census in 1840 as follows: 1840 FEDERAL CENSUS, UNION COUNTY, SOUTH CAROLINA Jesse Parr Free White Males U5 5-9 10-14 15-19 20-29 30-39 40-49 50-59 60-69 70-79 2 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 00 Free White Females U5 5-9 10-14 15-20 20-29 30-39 40-49 50-59 60-69 70-79 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 00 In the 1840 census, he was aged 40-50, and his wife was aged 30-40.He was probably close to 40 (born 1800). It is puzzling that not only was he not a head ofhousehold in 1830, but no Parr household in Union County listed any dependant male over 15-20. The onlytwo males 15-20 not otherwise accounted for (Allen, Senior had one) are two males of that agein the household of Clabourne Parr. He may have been born closer to 1810. However, the maleage 10-14 in his household in 1840 may indicate that he was either missed by the census enumerator or was in another locality at that time.. 1850 FEDERAL CENSUS, UNION COUNTY, SOUTHCAROLINA Page 113B;#388/388 Lavinia Parr W F 40$200 SC Roland 8 SC Emily 6 SC Debra 3 SC 1860 FEDERAL CENSUS, UNION COUNTY, SOUTH CAROLINA Page 219B; #583/511 Levina Pare W F 49 Farmer $200$50 SC Emily " W F 16SC Nolen " W M 17SC Debra " W F 13SC It must be stressed that there is no evidence which connects Lavinia to Jesse. In fact the ages of her children suggest that she may have married after 1840.Additionally, Andrew Parr also disappear from the census between 1840 and 1850. He may have movedwest, probably into Alabama or Georgia where a number of related Parr families resided.

He was the only son of Thomas Parr who stayed in Mecklenburg County which would make one suspect that he was oldest, and inherited the bulk of the land, but land deeds show that each of the children of Thomas Parr,Senior received and then sold land. He married Elizabeth Hobbs, daughter of Robert Hobbs. Following isa transaction that virtually proves that relationship.

ALLEN PARR (1804- ) Allen Parr was born about 1804, probably in Mecklenburg County,North Carolina, the son of Claibourne and Martha Parr. Though he was listed as Allen Parr, Juniorin 1840, Allen Parr, Senior did not have a son named Allen who was alive at the death of hiswife in 1849. He married _______ Scales. She passed away about 1849, as shehad passed away by the numeration of the 1850 census, but had left a daughter-Mary-who was bornabout 1849. Allen was still alive in the 1870 census (age 67), but may have diedshortly thereafter as a partition of the land of Allen Parr was made in 1870 as abstracted below: "Ferdinand R. Cudd and Texann Cudd his wife, vs. William Henry Bevill andMary Bevill, his wife. The summons was filed in Probate Court, 25 July 1870. Thepetition filed by the Cudds states, "that our father Allen Parr had deeded 198 acres to hisdaughtersTexann Parr and Mary Parr (now Texann Cudd and Mary Bevell). By deed dated 25 September 1866,and recorded in Deed Book A-19, pp. 240-241. A copy of the deed is in the file. Thedaughters owned the land as joint tenants. Each had an estate of inheritance of one undividedhalf thereof. The land was bounded by Brown's Creek, Allen Parr's land, W. A. H. Bevill's land, andJames Sinclair's land . A plat made by James W. Vinson on 18 May 1871 is included. The Cuddspetitioned either that the land be divided into two equal parts or sold and the money divided.The court appointed E. F. Vaughn, J. Glover Mitchell, Newell Smith, Pleasant Harris and W.H.S.Harris commissioner to decide the division. On 31 May 1871, Richard Parr filed suit in circuit court to stop thesale of the land. On 9 June 1875, the suit by Richard Parr was discontinued , and the Judgeordered the land sold by Sheriff MacBeth on 1 November 1975. 1840 FEDERAL CENSUS, UNION COUNTY, SOUTH CAROLINA AllenParr, Jun'r Free White Males U5 5-9 10-14 15-19 20-29 30-39 40-49 50-59 60-69 70-79 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 00 Free White Females U5 5-9 10-14 15-20 20-29 30-39 40-49 50-59 60-69 70-79 2 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 00 1850 , UNION COUNTY, SOUTHCAROLINA Page 110A;#327/327 Allen Parr W M 46 Planter$100 0 SC Elizabeth W F 13SC Jane W F 11SC James W M 8SC Richard W M 6SC Texana W F 3SC Mary W F 1SC 1860 , UNION COUNTY, SOUTHCAROLINA Page 219A; Post OfficeUnionville; #578/506 Alen Pare W M 54 Farmer$2320 $50 0 SC Elizabeth W F 25SC Jane W F 17SC James W M 17 Farm LaborSC Richard W M 16SC Texan W F 14SC Mary W F 12SC 1870 , UNION COUNTY, SOUTHCAROLINA Allen Parr W M 67 Farmer$1434 $40 0 SC Elizabeth W F 30SC Gondysville Twp; Unionville PostOffice; Page 442; #346/570 1870 , UNION COUNTY, SOUTH CAROLINA Pinkney District; p. 510;#454/558-9 Richard Parr W M 25 Farmer$2800 $70 0 SC Eliza " W F 28SC James " W M 3SC Sarah Jane Faucitt W F 6SC Charles Gault W M 12SC Louise Sprouse W F 16SC Agnes Whitlock W F 65SC 1870 , UNION COUNTY, SOUTH CAROLINA Pinkney District; Page506; 395/483 B.

Jenny4 Paire (Bridges3, Thomas2 Pair, William1) was born 1803. She married Henry W. Hodnett December 20, 1821 in Jasper County, Georgia, son of Benjamin Hodnett and Elizabeth Collier. He was born 1800 in VA, and died December 12, 1867 in Oktibbeha Co., MS. Notes for Henry W. Hodnett: 1850 Alabama Bibb Co., pg 7A 1860 July 10, 1870 Mississippi Oktibbeha Co., Starkville Pg 16 Henry Hodnet 58 farmer 2800,6000 VA Elizabeth 45 SC John 16, Samuel 14,Lambreth 12 son,Susan 10,Michael 9, b Alabama Williard 8, Eras--ne 6,Thomas 4,Charles 3 born Mississippi Henry Copeland 18 farm laborer Mississippi HENRY W. HODNETT Henry W. Hodnett's middle name may have been "William" as stated by some sources. Have seen no official documentation of this as yet. Henry was born in 1799 or early 1800 in Prince Edward County, Virginia, and then moved with his parents, Benjamin and Betsy Collier Hodnett, to Oglethorpe County, Georgia, soon after his birth. He was the eleventh child of their fifteen children who achieved adulthood. Henry W. Hodnett was married twice (documented), and it seems that he fathered as many as 23 children. He has been a difficult person to track because of his many travels and movements back and forth across the state of Alabama and into Mississippi. He was "a man on wheels" but a sketchy account of his life can be derived from various records that have survived. Henry W. Hodnett, John's Militia District, Jasper County, GA, drew LL 99, Section 2, Henry County, GA, in the 1821 Land Lottery. Henry first married Jenny PARE on 20 December 1821 in Jasper County, Georgia. For many years, genealogists and various written accounts listed Henry's first wife as Jenny Pace, Jenny Pase, Jenny Pou, and other spellings. This error is understandable when the INDEX to marriages in Jasper County are examined. However, when one examines the actual document, not the index, Jenny's name is PARE. In 1823, Henry W. Hodnett of Newton County, GA, sold 202 1/2 acres of land (2nd precinct, LL99, in Henry County, GA, to James McCawley for $700. This is just one of the several land deals listed in the GA counties of Newton and Jasper for Henry W. Hodnett. There are also other legal actions in which Henry was involved during the 1820's and 1830's. In 1830, Henry is listed on the Newton County, Georgia, Census. He is between 20-30 years of age and his wife is also 20-30. They apparently have two boys under 10, and two girls under 10. Another boy is listed but he is between 15-20 and not likely to be a son. The families of Thomas Hodnett and John Hodnett are living nearby in 1830. In 1836, and through December 1837, Henry W. Hodnett bought quite a bit of land in Chambers County, Alabama, several large parcels. The Tallapoosa River flowed through the middle of three of these large parcels. Others were in the area of "Frog Eye", but still near the other land. Some of the land also went over into Tallapoosa County. His brothers, James and Thomas, bought land in the area, too, with brother James purchasing the most. (James remained in the area, becoming a fairly large land and slave owner.) Henry apparently sold the land in Chambers County fairly quickly and moved to Mississippi and a son was born to Henry there in 1838. Some believe Henry had a daughter Nancy who married David W. Duke in December 1839 in Meriwether Co., GA. If so, it is quite possible that Henry (and his wife?) made the trip back to Meriwether Co., Georgia, for Nancy's marriage. A son was born in Chambers Co., AL in September 1840, although Henry W. is listed in the 1840 Newton County, Mississippi Census. On the census is: Henry Hodnett (30-40), his wife (who is again listed as 20-30 just like the 1830 census, same wife?), and three boys under 15, three girls under 15. Of course, older children are not listed since they had either married in GA, or had left home, or died. About 1841, another son was born in Newton County, Mississippi. By 1843, Henry W. Hodnett was back in Alabama where son John Foster Hodnett was born in Perry County. Another son, Samuel, was then born in Bibb County on August 13, 1844. Henry W. then married Elizabeth "Caroline" Hopkins in Bibb County, AL, on 27 March 1845 when his youngest child, Samuel, was only 7 months old. It would appear that Samuel's mother, Henry's first wife (or 2nd?), may have died sometime during those 7 months. One account says that Jenny Pare died in 1845. Another child, Lambeth, was born about 1846 in Bibb County, AL. In February 1846, Henry W. Hodnett was ordained a deacon in Union Baptist Church in Bibb County (now an inactive church, it was located 16 miles west of Centreville, in the Okmulgee District of the Talladega National Forest, 3 miles east of the Hale County line.) (Church records from John Lindsey) Henry W. Hodnett is mentioned at various times in the minutes of Union Baptist Church in Bibb County, serving on different committees, etc. Two of his sons were accepted into the church, Jefferson Hartwell Hodnett, and Benjamin F. Hodnett. Henry attended this church in Bibb Co., AL, at least through July 1850, probably longer. His wife Caroline and daughter Sarah were also charter members of this church. (Church records from John Lindsey) Henry bought 40.2 acres in Bibb County on 7 Oct. 1850. He also paid taxes on nine parcels of land in 1851 in Bibb County, AL. (Land records from John Lindsey) The 1850 Bibb County, AL, Census lists Henry W. Hodnett, farmer, 46, Caroline, 26, and names eight children ages 2-19 in the household. Again, older children would not be listed since they had left home, married, or died. In 1860, the family was in Oktibbeha County, Mississippi, on the census. It listed Henry, farmer, 58, Elizabeth, 45, and nine children, ages 3-16. An 18-year-old named Henry Copeland was also listed as living with them. It is definitely the same family as was in Bibb Co., AL, in 1850. According to his tombstone, Henry W. Hodnett died at age 67 on 17 February 1867 in Oktibbeha County, Mississippi. The estate of H.W. Hodnett was administered in Bibb County, AL, by W.J. Greathouse (it was begun in January 1870). Only his younger children are listed on his estate papers. Henry W. Hodnett is buried at Sand Creek Cemetery, Oktibbeha County, Mississippi, and is in abandoned condition. Caroline Hopkins Hodnett is also buried there.

She was born in 1804, and passed away about 1899, in her ninety-fifth year. During the Civil War, Bridges Parr served in the Confederate Army,as a Private in Company , 46th Alabama Infantry Volunteer regiment. He died 16 October 1863,from "disease contracted while in the service of the Confederate States , and that his death occurred during the late war. Penny did not remarry.

She also applied 15 April 1897, 27 April 1898 and in1899, all in Cullman County. In 1896, her address was listed at Etha, Cullman County, and in1897 and 1898, as Fall Creek, Alabama. Her 1899 application states the following: "P.S. thisapplicant is in her 95th year (and) cannot come before the honorable board for examiners and assuch she asks to be placed on the rolls." She did finally receive her pension "in class four under the act of the February 10, 1899, this 13th day of July 1899." It was signed by the members of the Pension Board. James W. Roister solemnly swore that he was "personally acquainted with Briges Paire, whose widows name is signed to the foregoing application, and that I know of my own knowledge that the service set forth in the application was rendered by said Briges Paire and that he did not desert the service of the Confederate States or the State of Alabama."This affidavit was not dated. 1830 FEDERAL CENSUS, BUTTS COUNTY, GEORGIA Bridges Parr, Junr.

Captain Bell was the enlisting officer. In January 1862 he was sick at Dumphries, Virginia. He was presenton all muster rolls through the first half of 1862. He was then wounded 11 July 1862 infighting around Richmond, Virginia which was the Confederate Capitol. He was wounded in the handand sent to CSA General Hospital where he was admitted 5 September 1862. He was onwounded furlough from November 1862 to February 1863 and returned to his regiment in March of1863 at Richmond, Virginia. He got sick in March, but remained with his regiment throughJune of 1863. He deserted on 1 July 1863. He was captured according to one report at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania 2 July 1863, and in another report 4 July 1863 at Cashtown. He was processed and received as a prisoner of war 7 July 1863. On 8 July 1863 he was transferred fromFort McHenry, Delaware to Fort Delaware, Delaware. He was at Fort Delaware 25 July 1863 and was sent to the U. S.Hospital at Chester, Pennsylvania. He was paroled until exchanged and appeared on detachmentof paroled and exchanged prisoners at Camp Lee near Richmond, Virginia 31 August 1863.There is no further notation after 26 September 1863, Though later affidavits claim that here turned to his unit and was there at the end of the war. He next appeared in Hood County, Texas in 1866 when he appeared inthe first tax list for that county. He also registered to vote in 1869, stating that he was age30, and a native of Georgia. I do not know why he left his family in Alabama. He married Sarah Jane Williamson, nee McCoy, undoubtedly in ErathCounty, Texas about 1868 or 1869. Sarah was born in April 1841 in Oregon County, Missouri,the daughter of George Washington and Frances (Gibbs) McCoy. She had previously married Asa Williamson who apparently did not return from the Civil War. Bridges and Sarah had one daughter, Nancy Roxie Ann a Parr (Pear).She was born 17 May 1869, in Meridian, Bosque County, Texas. Bridges appeared in the 1870 mortality schedule of Hood County. Itwas noted that he was Bridge Pear, a white male of Hood County, Texas, age 31, was murderedin March. He was noted as a native of Alabama and engaged in agriculture. That wouldindicate a death in March 1870. His daughter Nancy Roxie Anna told my grandmother, ElizabethCaroline (Forsythe) Wheeler that her father, Bridge Pear, was killed about two months before she wasborn in a fence dispute by his cousin. That would have made his death March 1869. It is not likely that we willsoon solve this mystery unless a newspaper from that era surfaces. Sarah Jane Parr then married an Edwards who also passed away.Finally, she married Elbert Lofton, and was enumerated with him in the 1880 census as follows: 1880 FEDERAL CENSUS, HOOD COUNTY, TEXAS Elbert Lofton W M 33 AR MS MS Jane " W F 42 MO KY AR Nancy " W F 11 TX MO AR,Fannie " W F 9 TX MO AR Amanda " W F 7 TX MO AR, William " W M 3 TX MO AR John " W M 2 TX MO AR,Green " W M 11/12 TX MO AR Jane above is Sarah Jane, Nancy is Nancy Roxie Anna Parr, Fannie isFannie Edwards, a daughter of Mr. Edwards, but not Sarah Jane.

Amanda could be a daughter of Elbert Lofton or could be the same as Lula. If she is not the same as Lula, then Lula had not yet been born. The oldest child of Sarah Jane McCoy, by her firsthusband-George Washington "Bud or Wash" Williamson-is not enumerated with her in the 1880 census.However, Sarah Jane was enumerated with him in the 1900 census: 1900 FEDERAL CENSUS, CHICKESAW NATION, INDIAN TERRITORY CENSUS George W.
