Sharon:
ave you looked at the Parrish families in Pittsylvania Co. VA?
lso in Isle of Wight area?
s for Clarks/Clarkes in SC, Some of the children of Francis Clarke migrated
o Anson Co. NC in mid 1700s. They are also to be found across the border
ear the Pee Dee River in what is now Darlington Co. and was the Cheraw.
I am a Langford/Lankford researcher and folks with this name married Clarks
nd Parrish families in Virginia. They also married Griffins in Greene
ounty Mississippi where many SC families migrated in early 1800's while it
as still the Mississippi Territory.
ne Langford man married a Lois Mullins in Kentucky about 1810. He was
tephen Lankford of Pittsylvania Co. VA son of Benajmin Lankford. Mullins
amily are found in Pittsylvania Co.
Sorry to say that most records of Pittsylvania are not abstracted nor filmed
y FHC. They may be available in Archives in
ichmond and available through the archives on Interlibrary loan. I found
hat requests were slow in being filled and had to send backup requests.
The Dallas library has some of the abstracted records for Pittsylvania Co.
n book form and also Halifax Co. records are available in book form. As to
icrofilm, at this time I am not sure if they have been able to purchase
alifax Co. records.
ittsylvania Co. microfilmed records are being held hostage in Pittsylvania
o. and in the VA archives. FHC has been denied access to film these
ecords. You can check the Library of Virginia page for further caveats
egarding access to Pittsylvania Co.records.
Dallas library is open on Saturdays and on Sunday afternoons. That is until
urther budget cuts are made.
heir holdings as far as books are concerned and is on line. Check out
allasCityHall.com and click on library.
r just Google Dallas Public Library, Main library on Young Street.
don't think you will need a library card to access the genealogy or
istory depts. index.
recently purchased all the books still available for Pittsylvania Co.
Good hunting.

> I think this Parish/Parrish family might be part of my family. Both of my
parents were descendants of Mary Green and Richard Griffin, Sr. of Halifax
Co., VA My dad was a descendant of their son, John Griffin, who married
Sarah Parrish. My mother was a descendant of Mary Green and Richard
Griffin's son, Ralph Griffin, who married a lady named Susannah. I have
not
discovered her surname, but their daughter, Susannah Griffin, married
Peter
Jarrett.
Sarah Parrish and John Griffin's daughter, Sarah "Sally" Griffin, married
Reuben Jones who died after 13 Jul 1811 in Halifax Co., VA. Their
daughter,
Mary "Polly" Jones married Daniel Campbell Goode. The Goodes had a son,
Daniel Campbell Goode, Jr., who married Nancy Ann McCoy, and ended up in
Bell Co., TX, after first living in GA and then Randolph Co., AL. They
were
my gg-grandparents. Their daughter, Parthenia Goode, married Henry Caleb
Clay Clark in 1867, AL. Parthenia died Oct 1875 in Clay Co., AL.
Henry Caleb Clay Clark was the son of Mary Mullins and Caleb Clark who
married 1828 in Hall Co., GA. We have not been able to discover who
Caleb's
parents were. Caleb was drafted into the War of 1812 in SC, so we assume
he
lived in SC, but we are not sure where he was born. In the 1880 census,
some of his children show he was born in SC. He was in Talladega Co., AL
in
the early 1850s when he signed an application for bounty land, but we
can't
find the family in 1850. He died in 1857.
I would love to know more about the Parrish family. Several years ago a
gentleman sent me some Parrish information, and it indicated that John
Griffin, Jr., son of Sarah Parrish and John Griffin, married Sally
Parrish,
and that she was a descendant of Humphrey Parish.
If anyone can help me out on any of these families, I would love to hear
from you.
Best wishes,
Sharon Clark
