John House said that "Betsy, a daughter of Charles Parsons, Sr., married John Smith, of Lewis Co. Their children were: George Smith who lives in Roane County, and was three times married, the third wife's name being Smith. Elizabeth Parsons parents are Charles Parsons and Elizabeth Chestnut. Elias Smith, went to Illinois, was married. His children were Calvin and David. Dolly Smith, married Jonah Woodruff, brother of David Woodruff. He was drowned, and she later married John Law, who, it is said, was also drowned. One child by the first marriage, John Woodruff, is mentioned." In the Jan. 1986 edition of Parsons Paragraphs from Parchment Valley, Chap Parsons' old newsletters, there is a notation "Charles Parson's daughter, Elizabeth, married John Smith in Harrison County, son of Mark and Mary, on Aug. 31, 1805. The 1994 (and earlier versions) Parsons Book has her marrying George Board. This is quite possibly the biggest mistake in the entire mistake-ridden book. The family listed (many pages) is for that of Elizabeth Parsons Board, dau. of Charles' son, George. In the 1849 indenture, an Elizabeth Smith is listed (no husband mentioned as in married children) as daughter of Charles Parsons and this and the marriage record clearly show that she was his daughter.
