From RJ Parsons”My Dad told me that James Parsons was an orphan. Some of Robert John's notes indicate that he was born near Staffordshire, Feb, 1850, and was raised by a man named Haggen. I know he was illiterate because I have his citizenship papers with his mark. Jane Jones' family came from Aberaman, Wales. Her father was Robert Jones, mother, Liza Richards.”
