Note: According to at least one family tree on Ancestry.com the parents were "Henery Peyton Nott" and "Margaret Elizabeth Hiler Nott". Not sure if "Henery" is correct or should be "Henry". Needs clarification, so use with caution. Their burial location isn't yet known to this contributor, so direct links to them isn't possible yet.
Update a/o June 19, 2012: A contributor "Stone Reader" SAC'd that the father was Henry P Nott. That may be the case, but pending any documentation will put in a link here rather than a direct relationship link to him.
-----------
First married to George Washington Reed, married in Illinois (1864, but county location not known). They had eight children, six of whom were still living at the time of his death in 1910 (not 1911 as engraved on his headstone). Note: of the eight children of George Washington Reed and Philinda Beggs Nott Reed/Parsons there are two that were not named in the obituary for GWR; of the six that were named who survived all but Mrs. Charles Lee are accounted for. Any clarification about the remaining children would be appreciated.
Note: the obituary for Philinda stated that they had seven children. Sigh. Perhaps one child was overlooked when her obitary was written or submitted for publication.
-----------
Philinda then married Robert Michael Parsons on June 16, 1911 (sic. June 17 per her obit, but 16th in marriage records) in Jefferson County, Iowa. They were co-boarders for a number of years; she being the mother of a number of children already according to the 1900 & 1910 US Census reports. The circumstances of their marriage are not known.
-----------
Note: an Evergreen cemetery listing had her DOD as being October 7, 1919. Her obituary was published on October 7, 1919 and provides that her death occurred that morning.
