I am looking for relatives of James C. Parrott born to a George M.Parrott and a Mary Estella Turner Parrott. If you have any information, please contact me at Frances_Nelson@msn.com

I have a James C. Parrott, born 1811 in Easton, MD, and died 1898 in Keokuk(?), IA. Actually, he is not mine, but I do have a nice picture of him and a good write-up of his Civil War and GAR activities. I'd love to share them with anyone interested.

I am researching Sherman's March to the Sea and would be very interested in any info you could share on Parrott or the 7th Iowa. Thanks.

James C Parrott is my great, great, great grandfather. I, too have a nice photo of him and a GAR certificate that I had restored and framed. Would love to exchange info and photos.

Gen. Parrott was my great, great, great grand father. I have a wonderful original photo of him and his GAR document complete with ribbons that I had restored and framed which I would be happy to send you photos of. Any info you have would be appreciated.

Ms. Schlaudecker,

I am researching state commanders of the iowa gar. if you have any information regarding James C. Parrott and his participation in the gar this would be great.

Have you seen "The Iowa Department of the Grand Army of the Republic," compiled by Jacob A. Swisher? It was published in 1936 by The State Historical Society of Iowa. It includes a discussion of the early difficulties of establishing/maintaining the Iowa Department. It then goes on to include a full-page picture of each Department Commander and a one-page summary of his life and war record; starting with James C. Parrott and continuing through Jonathan C. Hanes.
I have a copy - let me know if there is anyone you are looking for.
