The Parsons Family Crest
The Parsons family of Co. Oxford, England, of the Island of Barbadoes, W. I., and of Boston, bear the arms we give, which were those of Sir Thomas Parsons of Great Milton, Oxfordshire, knighted in 1634 by King Charles I. The first of the name in this country was Joseph Parsons, of Springfield, Mass., in 1636. A brother of his, Benjamin Parsons, appears soon in the annals of New England, and both are said to have come, in 1630, with Mr. Pynchon from Great Torrington, near Exeter, Co. Essex, England.
