William Parrish was my paternal grandfather's oldest brother.
He and Verna only had one child, Billie Ruth, and she never married.
This was the end of his line but I remember uncle Bill through the fond memories my aunts shared with me.
William "Bill" Christian Parrish was born 1 Oct 1893 in Texas. Most likely he was born in Eagle Pass, Maverick County, Texas, but I don't know that for certain.
He was the oldest of five children.
In the 1900 census William is 7 and living in Eagle Pass, Maverick county, Texas.
In 1910, he is living in D'Hanis, Medina county, Texas with his maternal grandparents. His mother died and his father was serving time in a Mexican prison for a train robbery.
By 1920 William and Verna are married and living in Houston, Harris county, Texas.
This is where they will live out their lives.
