Clark: According to the 1988 Parsons book, Charles W. was a deaf mute as a result of childhood measles. He died Aug. 17, 1929 (unm.).
Joshua, son of John Parsons, married Joanna Stewart, a niece of “Old Billy Stewart”. He was one of the earliest settlers on Seamon Fork, of Reedy. He made the first improvement on the Newhart farm there, about 1847. Later, about 1849, he built near where the old well on the Perry Hall farm at the head of Little Creek stands (John Hall said “Devil Bill” Parsons lived there before Joshua did.) Joshua afterward returned to Grass Lick, and died on Middle Fork of Poca. His children were:
