I haven't done any work on this project for years now because there didn't seem to be much interest in it.
 However, it seems a shame to let it languish unseen on my computer, especially after all the work I put into it.

I have not cleaned it up for publication, and it's presented AS IS --warts and all.
 Most of the data is sound, but the presentation may be a bit awkard. Sorry--no apologies.

I've recently discovered that there is a great deal of information available on the lineage of Harriet Parsons, Lin Polson's great-great grandmother. I'm still not interested in putting in more work on this project so instead I refer you to the excellent work of Mike Parsons at  http://www.mikeparsons.org.uk/genealogy/  and Linda Urquhart at http://web4.uwindsor.ca/urquhart    --JP 4/4/2014
