I am researching the descendants of Jonathan Parsons b. 01 Jul 1797 in Surry Co., NC & wife Lydia Patterson b. abt 1800 in Surry Coo., NC.

I know that enumerators and others were often careless when it came to spelling surnames.

I have the Tishomingo County Mississippi Cemeteries and the index. I found listings for the surnames Parson & Parsons. According to the book, Jonathan Parson 01 Jun 1799 - 19 Jul 1861 is possibly buried in the Parson Cemetery. (See page 272.)

Are the people whose surname is Parson related to the Parsons I am researching?

I am also researching the surname Helton. I discovered that there were at least two Helton lines living in the area. It appears that they were not related.

I am hoping that someone living in Tishomingo Co. can enlighten me re the suranmes Parson and Parsons.

Thanks in advance.
