Hey Joy,
I'm going back over my book. Something I haven't done in a couple of years.
The book states that our family is from the Caernarvonshire branch of Parrys. It states that "Madryn Cassle", in Caernarvonshire North Wales is the ancient site of the Parry family mentioned as remotely as A. D. 1188 by Giraldus Cambrensis.
A clipping that appears to be out of another book titled "Old Time Mansions" with a No5 hand written after the title goes on about the Parry family and their homestead in Bucks County. It states that the family is thought to be decended from Love Parry, Esq., high sheriff of Caernawonshire.
The wife of Thomas Parry is referred to as Jane Morris in the book but is Jane Phillips in a newspaper clipping.
Their are notes in the book referring to a Parry family library in Richmond, Indiana. Everything appears to have been auctioned off in 1948 after the death of Louise M. Parry. A note by A. Ogborn states they secured the majority of the Library before the public auction. Seeing as I purchased a book from the library on Amazon.com it appears that it no longer exists in one place.
