Hello Anna:Thank you for your reply.For many, many years I have been searching for the family of my ggrandfather, James Forrester Parrett/ott.He was traveling by wagon train in 1832 with a "woman" and 5/6 other children when it was discovered that he had measles as they approached Overton Co.,TN.He was 2 yrs. old.She "left" him with a Miller family and never came back for him.At age 11/12 he was sold to Geo. M. Thompson for 1.00 and lived there until he became of age.He never knew his family.He married Mahala Ann Bowman.
About 2 yrs. ago my brother submitted the dna test, hoping to finally put this family together.Surprise!James did not match any of the other Parrett/ott families but did match exactly with a Rev. John Wesley Doss...Another surprise!The Rev. did not match any of the other Doss families either...Now I don't know who the heck to look for!
I have wondered why some of his siblings didn't come back for him and keep hoping I can find a Parrett/ott family that was a part of that wagon train.Most likely they were headed for Texas but that's only a guess on my part.
The 1850 Oveton Co.,TN cesus states he was born in AL but the 1860 census states TN.I think AL is more likely,.
I'm nearing my 87th birthday but I just keep digging!!
Thank you for your time.
Doris
