William Parsons was an Ohioan.

William Henry Parsons was born on 27 Jul 1891 in Ohio, United States, son of Cassibranka Parsons (1859 - 1913) and Eliza (Howell) Parsons (1870 - 1935).

His sister was Rosa Dell (Parsons) Knight (1897 - ).

Marriages and Family
William married Lulu May Walker (1903 - ) on 28 Nov 1922 in Hamilton, Ohio. They were first cousins. Lulu was the daughter of Evah (Howell) Walker and William was the son of Eliza (Howell) Parsons. Eliza and Evah were sisters. On the marriage certificate, they actually listed Eliza (Howell) Parsons as Eliza Smith. This could have been done to keep the county court from discovering that William and Lulu were first cousins. On the marriage application, it does state that they cannot be nearer kin than second cousin. ^[1]
