Narrative
"Marjorie thought that maybe the Parish Clerk made a mistake when he made the entries of birth in the Bristol Parish Reg. She wondered if he meant to write Thomas and Mary Parham, son John born 26 Sept 1731 instead of John and Mary a son John born 26 Sept 1731. Researchers feel that Isham Parham son of Thomas and Mary b. 17 Sep 1732 and whose birth is recorded in the Bristol Parish Reg. was a brother of her John Parham.
John Parham and Mary who had a son John b. 26 Sep 1731 and the birth is recorded in the Bristol Parish Reg is most likely the son of William Parham who was a son of Thomas and Elizabeth Parham (1717). This John Parham married Mary Booth a daughter of George Booth. His descendants were in the Dinwiddie, Prince George, Sussex area. He appears in early records for Sussex Co., Va.
However, I strongly feel after years of Parham research, that the clerk made a mistake and meant to write the name of Thomas and not John as the father of John Parham b. 26 Sep 1731. Also, I believe that Thomas and Mary Parham's son Isham b. 17 Sep 1732 is the same Isham who moved to Granville Co., NC and died there..."

Narrative |
[kdd: my impression is that 2 different "John and Mary Parham" families have been conflated together. Our William could have been son of the John Parham and Mary Booth of Gloucester Co, VA, and not the John Parham of Bristol below, William Parham is not mentioned in George Booth's will of 1763 altho other grandsons are (George, John, Thomas, Matthew) There is no proof at this time of who William's parents are. See "Historical Southern Families, Vol II" pg69, corrected in Vol VI, pg78, Thomas d.1827, s/o George Parham, had a son named Littleton in Sussex Co, VA. Our William and Peggy Parham also named a son Littleton.]
The Bristol Parish Records of Virginia give John's birth and baptism dates as 26 September and 6 November 1731, and names his parents as John and Mary. It's possible that John could have been born at a later date, and probable that a clerical error was made in recording the name of his father - since this entry was recorded after the earlier entries for his brothers William, Isham, and Thomas, all of which recorded Thos and Mary as parents.
