Biographical history
The Parrot family were United Empire Loyalists who settled in the Bay of Quinte district. The family included John Parrot, a mariner who owned property in Beverly and New Boston at the time of the American Revolution, and his sons James and John. The two sons came to Canada, where James became a farmer and a colonel in the militia and John became a school teacher.
