We closed in part 1, with a summary of events and looking for Tempie BROCK, who married a PARR about 1875.
A search on Ancestry found two listing, one misspelled, for Tempie Parr.
Tempy Parr is listed in the 1900 census[1] and shows her married to Samuel Parr for 27 years. She had 9 children of which 6 were living. Her husband Samuel Merkerson Parr was the Son of Abraham N. Parr and Elizabeth Harris.
She is also listed in the 1910 Census[2]. These two censuses and the 1860 census [3]as a young girl, age 4, are the only censuses she has been found in up to this point. If indeed she was married in 1873 as stated on the 1900 Census; she should be listed with Samuel on the 1880 Census.
I have identified the six living children referenced in the 1900 Census over the past years.
- Benjamin Franklin Parr
- James Melton Parr
- Carrie A. Parr married Reuben H. Easler. Carrie Easler obituary states that she had one living siblings, a sister, named Mary Parr SCOTT, still living. Carrie died in 1970.
- Luetta E. Parr
- Arrie Lee Parr
- Mary Parr
Tempie Brock Parr died 20 Nov 1918 in Columbia, Richland County, South Carolina.
