Edward Parrish
On June 24th, 1635 Adam Thoroughgood transported an Edward Parrish to Virginia.
In May 1648, Edward Parrish, planter of Elizabeth City, Virginia purchased 200 acres of land in Elizabeth City Co. This tract was part of an original land patent awarded to John Graves.
Edward Parrish
Moved to Anne Arundel Co, Maryland about 1655 and eventually became a large landowner in the area of present day Baltimore. A 2000-acre patent to Edward became known as Parrish's Range. Part of this 2000 acres along with part of a 350 acre tract known as Parrish's Fear and owned by Edward's son, Edward now makes up a major part of the municipally owned Druid Hill Park of Baltimore. Edward 2 was drowned in 1680 when his boat capsized in Maryland waters. He was buried at his homeplace in Maryland. He and his family were members of the Quaker religion in Maryland.
and:

Thomas Richardson set out this 350 acres to Thomas Darling, under the name of Hob Nob at Venture, and the patent of 350 acres in 1689 to Thomas Darling has the same metes and bounds. Solomon Jones patented in 1688, 150 acres of Jones Level, (part of Druid Hill Park).

John Parrish
Jan 9, 1662 according to Parrish History: Path of the Parrishs:
John Parrish appears on a Jury in Charles City County, Virginia.
July 22, 1662 a right to 350 acres of land in Charles City Co, Va. was assigned to John Parrish by George Noble.
July 30th, 1663 John Parish and Margaret Parish assigned a right to the above 350 acres to Thomas Calloway.
October 22, 1663 Margaret Parish wife of John Parish, confirmed the foregoing.
In 1673 presumable this same John was declared in very poor health and was discharged from paying any levies in his church (parish) of Weynoke and was "hereby released from any other public leavys for this yeare".
John apparently recovered from his sickly condition however; because on November 20, 1682, John Parish of Charles City Co and Weynoke Parish obtained 390 acres on the North side of the James River for the transportation of eight persons to the new world (a compensation for paying the transportation cost of each person from England to America, The sponsor was awarded one headwright which generally entitled him to 50 acres of land).
A relationship has not been established between this early John Parrish and the earlier (1622) Thomas Parish and the (1635) Edward Parrish. Although there is indication that Edward may have had a son named John; there is no evidence that he was this John Parrish (1662) of Charles City Co. It would appear more likely that this John was descended from either Charles or William Parish, supposedly brothers who came to Virginia in 1635 and settled in Charles City Co, because the given names John, William and Charles are prominent in later generations of this family line.
April 28, 1691 Joseph Parrish of Charles City County married the relict (widow) Of Andrew Atkins. This Joseph could have been the son of this John Parrish (1662).

Gencircles list John's wife as Elizabeth Belt so this may not be correct or her name may have been Margaret Elizabeth Belt.
