• Notes

  Early Life John Parsons was born c. 1630, the son of John Parsons senior, of Kemerton in Worcestershire, and Elizabeth Copley. Family Life John married Susanna Guy daughter and coheir of Richard Guy of Pamington, near Tewkesbury in Gloucestershire. They had the following children: John, eldest son and heir, b. c. 1653 Charles, b. 1660, who married Mary Turner, and was later of Bredon in Worcestershire Susanna, did not marry Death John died sometime between 22 Dec 1701 (the date of his will) and 13 Feb 1704/5 when his will was proved. BHO1 gives 1704. The will mentions: Daughter Susanna Parsons Son John Parsons Grandson Charles Parsons Grandson John Parsons Grand-daughter Judith Parsons Son Charles Parsons Grand-daughter Elizabeth Parsons Grand-daughter Susanna Parsons There is no mention of Charles' daughter Mercy (another grand-daughter of John) because she was born after the will was written. Miscellania Mention of Conan here too: https://books.google.ae/books?id=BSkAAAAAQAAJ&lpg=PA718&ots=CB7-0CU7Tr&dq=%22conan%20parsons%22%20kemerton&pg=PA718#v=onepage&q=%22conan%20parsons%22%20kemerton&f=false Another Burke (https://books.google.ae/books?id=6AtBAQAAMAAJ&lpg=PA175&ots=D9plGvobX-&dq=%22conan%20parsons%22%20kemerton&pg=PA175#v=onepage&q=%22conan%20parsons%22%20kemerton&f=false) gives marriage of Conan Parsons in 1584. Richard Guy of Pamington is mentioned here: https://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/glos/vol8/pp172-188, including short pedigree. Sounds like he had five daughters, including Susan.
