Question

Can anyone help me with a family history for Hugh Parrish who migrated from the south to Kansas and Oklahoma?

Answer 1

Do you know where he was born in the south, such as what state, county and or city? Can you say about what year he was born?

Is there a time frame that you could describe for when he left the south, arrived at  KS, and when he left for OK?

There was a Hugh Parrish born in IN who lived in Earlsboro Twp., Pottawatomie, OK in 1940. Another Hugh Parish was born in OK and was in the 1930 US Census in Chickasha, Grady, OK.

Answer 2

Is it possibly this family of Elihu/Hugh and Emma Parrish who were b. in Indiana, children b,. KS, later lived in OK???  Maybe you will recognize the children by name.
