I would like to find out more information about Joseph Parr, Harriet Parr Jones and Daniel Miller Parr. I may be related to them.
I have located records revealing that Joseph Parr lived in Hillier Township, Prince Edward County from at least 1823 to 1846. His wife's name was Ruth. Joseph was naturalised in 1830 suggesting that he had migrated to Upper Canada from the United Sates. From 1830 to 1846 Ruth and Joseph Parr owned land in Hillier Township. Harriet Parr is a witness for one of the land transactions and Daniel Parr for another. This suggests that they were related to Joseph Parr, possibly being his children. At this stage this is all the information I have about Joseph Parr.
Harriet Parr was born about 1812 somewhere in the United States, possibly Otsego County, New York. She married James Bell Jones of Hillier Township, Prince Edward County about 1830 and had 13 children in the following birth order: Elizabeth, Mary Ann, Sarah Emeline, Robert S, George, Amos Greer, Margaret Jane, Phoebe Ann, Francis Henry, Nancy, Harriet, James Harper and Samuel John. Harriet died in 1879 and is buried in the Christ Church Anglican church cemetery in Hillier township.
Daniel Miller Parr was born in Upper Canada in 1824. On 15 April 1845 Daniel married Chloe Ann, the oldest daughter of Jotham and Chloe Raynor of Hillier township. They had six children in the following birth order: Chloe Ann, Jotham, Washington, Elgin, Sarah, and John. Chloe Ann Parr married John Moore from England and they had three children: George Albert, Helen Gertrude and Fred Daniel. John and Chloe Moore farmed in Hillier township. Daniel and Chloe Parr owned land in Hillier township from 1857 to 1867. The 1861 census lists Daniel as a fisherman. Daniel and Chloe do not appear in the 1871 census for Hillier township.
I hope some one is able to link into these families and supply me with more information about them. I think Joseph Parr may be the father of my great, great grandfather, Amos Parr, who was born in Otsego County in 1807 and by the mid-1830s he was living in Upper Canada.
