3.C. B. (Boots) Parrott, killed in the battle of Hatcher's Run
March 3, 1865. He belonged to Pickett's Division of the
Confederate Army.
4. William N. Parrott, was a non commissioned officer in
Pickett's division of the Confederate Army, but of a different
regiment and brigade from his brother, C. B. Parrott, who
fell at Hatcher's Run. However, William N. Parrott was engaged
and wounded in the same battle. He was wounded also
in Picketts celebrated charge at Gettysburg. He -was of Kempers
old brigade, composed of the 1st, 7th, 11th, 17th, and 24th,
Virginia, and was in the second battle of Manassas. Kemper was
then in command of three brigades, acting as Major General.
Colonel D. M. Corse, being the ranking Colonel, placed him in
immediate command of the Kemper Brigade, who made at a critical
moment one of the most brilliant movements ever witnessed
on a battle field, when Kemper's old Brigade, with Colonel
Skinner, on old Fox, his sorrel horse, in the lead wielding his
sword with deadly effect, and William N. Parrott hard by, took
a five gun battery and four regimental flags.
Mr. Parrott seems to bear a charmed life, being survivor of
many hair-breadth escapes, which would be enough to kill an
ordinary man. If the Confederate soldiers had all been as hard
to kill as he. President Davis would never have gone to Fortress
Munroe. This veteran, like Achilles, must be only vulnerable in
the heel, as that is about the only part of his body which has
escaped injury. He began at the early age of six years to court
death by getting himself, unwittingly in the way of a large tree
that was being felled the whole top of the tree falling over him,
pinning his body to the ground, and costing him about a pound
of flesh and skin. On twelve different occasions his life seemed
to hang by a thread, and some of his experiences "were thrilling
in the extreme, his injuries including broken arms, broken collar
bone, broken ribs, broken legs, disFocated hips, and bruises and
strains innumerable. On three occasions he was caught under
falling timber. Once thrown from a horse, rebreaking a leg, and
climbing upon his horse, rode in that condition a distance of
fifteen miles to his home. He was once thrown from a wagon,
and reeled around the wheel. He was in eighteen regular
battles including Picketts gallant charge at Gettysburg, besides
numerous skirmishes, of the Civil War. He was in the very hotbed
of the war, and was shot twice by a cannon and twice by a
musket, and was in the wreck of the Fat Nancy in 1888, between
Washington and Charlotte, North Carolina, when the train went
through a trestle sixty feet high, mashing the car into kindling
wood, sustaining at that time the most critical injuries one leg
was broken in three places, the other leg hurt, still worse in
the hip, two ribs broken, both elbows nearly broken, and his whole
bodv fearfully mashed, and bruised, still he survived. How he
has retained his hold upon life, is one of the miracles of God's
providence. He calls himself a stack of patched up bones really
he looks now, at an advanced age, as though he might stand
several more knocks.
The Thompsons and Parrotts can battle long,
The Dabney blood runs red and strong.
They all awake at the call of the drums.
The blood of the Browns to the rescue comes.
They marshal their forces at his call.
Who takes this fortress must fight them all.

A piece of cotton fabric, now (1906) one hundred and fifteen
years old, presented by W. N. Parrott to his cousin, Mrs. Kate O.
Miller made of cotton grown bv William Thompson (great, grandfather
of Willam Parrott) on his plantation in Albemarle County,
and which his daughter Elizabeth Thompson, carded, spun and wove,
into muslin, of such a delicate texture, that upon the completion
of the whole piece of twelve yards, it was passed through an
oridinary finger ring; she made the muslin (from which the piece was
cut) into a dress gown which she wore on the occasion of her
marriage to Captain James Early of Green County. The goods
being as fine and soft and delicate as the product of the latest
equipped mills, of the present day. The degree of skill exercised
in the weaving of same, was simply wonderful, and shows that the
ladies of one hundred years ago, were as prettily gowned, as the
belles of today. By an accident a hole was burned in the gown, and
a darn which was put in it at the time is so perfectly done that today
it is extremely difficult to detect the original from the substituted
threads. The dress is in possession of Mrs. John R. Early of Earlysville.
The Early House, has been in the possession of the family
for one hundred and thirty years the fifth generation now occupying
it. It was built by Mr. Early's great, great, grand-father, Mr.
Richard Durrett.
A sample of another piece of ancient cotton cloth stamped and
called calico, was presented by Mr. Parrott to Mrs. Margaret O.
Doty, which is a quaint relic of a fabric woven one hundred years
ago, from cotton grown on the estate of Captain Nathaniel Thompson
of Albemarle. The plain white cotton cloth was taken to Louisa
Court-House, where the crudest kind of stamping was -lone, the
two colors, red and black, showed only on one side. After the
stamping process, the cloth was called calico. About this bit of
cotton, hangs a tragical story of nearly a century ago. The cloth
was cut and made into a wrap for an infant one day the child
while being carried in the arms of a servant, was let fall, and sustained
injuries from which it died, the tiny victim of the slave's
carelessness had the child lived he would have been a great uncle
to W. N. Parrott.
