1840 Jackson Co, VA, 2 of them would fit him
John House:
George Parsons settled the next place above Little's, about 1830.
The site of his cabin I have not been able to make out. There are two old orchards on the place now, one on a point across the road from the house, and a little below, the other about two hundred yards lower down the creek, and on the opposite side, in a bottom cut off by a bend in the stream. There is no sign of a house there now, but at the upper site, there is an old house on the bank above the road, among some trees. If either orchard dates back to the first settlement, it is probably the lower one.
George Parsons died about 1838. His wife was Sarah Lyons (See Mill Creek History).
His son, George Parsons, died on lower Trace Fork a few years ago. Another son, Charles Parsons, was the father of J. W. Parsons, some time assessor of the first District, and Isaiah Parsons a former County Superintendent. Charles Parsons lived on the home place, some say. His sister, Mrs. Rhodes said he moved to Charleston. Another son, Fielding Parsons, was a Union soldier, and died at Ravenswood three or four years ago. A Flinn lived on the Parsons place afterwards.
