PARR in Kentucky, USA (1.) John Parr/Pair (b. abt 1780) (m. ?) Jane unknown, so this oldest generation is speculation; (2.) James R. Parr (b. abt 1805) in Mercer Co. KY USA. James (m. 12 Dec 1823) Nancy B. Hunn (b. 05 Jul 1809) in Mercer Co. KY USA. By 1850, James was not on the scene and Nancy, with her Parr children, was in Platte Co. MO USA. This male lineage has been Y-dna tested and found to be R1b1b2* or R-M269 haplogroup (Ysearch.org ID = 3DCAY). The best match, so far, is a 33/37 marker match with Jack Parr parrresearch@sympatico.ca; however, no genealogy connection has ben found thus far. Any contact is welcome.

ALLAMAN, dtr of THOMAS ALLAMAN. Evidently he died young since his
