Parrott's founder John Lawson Parrott was the son of James and Harriet (Dennard) Parrott. His paternal grandfather came from France and settled in Washington County, Georgia in the late 1700s. James and Harriet were both born in Washington County - James Parrott in 1795 and Harriet Dennard in 1800. The Parrotts and the Dennards moved to Twiggs County while their children were still young and James and Harriet married there in 1828.
James and Harriet had eight children: Lucinda (married Samuel Stokes of Terrell County); Mary Ann of Parrott; John Lawson of Parrott; Louisa Virginia (married L. M. Jumper of Parrott); Benjamin (died at the age of eighteen); Augustus (served in the Thirty-first Georgia regiment and was last seen in Point Lookout prison in Maryland); Martha Alice (married John Dudley Whaley of Parrott); and Harriet of Parrott.
In 1834 James purchased 815 acres of land in what was then Randolph County and was called by the Indian village name Chenube. John Lawson was born in 1838 and raised in what is now Parrott and attended school in the county. He began farming at the age of nineteen and when the War Between the States began in 1861 he enlisted in Company K, Seventeenth Georgia regiment. He participated in many battles, including second Manassas, seven days' fight around Richmond, Sharpsburg, Gettysburg, Fredericksburg, Wilderness, Cold Harbor, and Petersburg, and received two flesh wounds. At the end of the war he returned to his farm in Parrott and became financially vested in other enterprises.
When James died in 1865 and Harriet passed away in 1888, John Lawson Parrott inherited the land.
