The
descendants
of
John
Parris
and
Jane
Neville
of
Wrotham,
Kent,
are
documented
in
the
following
pages.
The
family
had
links
with
the
neighbouring
villages,
in
particular
Halling,
Snodland,
Ridley
and
Stansted.
Some
emigrated
to
the
United
States
to
establish
the
family
in
Illinois,
Nebraska
and
California.
We
think
(but
have
no
evidence
yet
to
prove)
that
a
Parris
family
from
the
Offham
area
in
Kent
may
be
linked
to
John
and
Jane.
This
branch is covered as well, starting
here
.
The
Oxford
Dictionary
of
Family
Names
provides
two
origins:
a
locative
name
from
Paris,
the
place
name
taken
from
the
Celtic
people
the
Parisii
who
settled
on
the
banks
of
the
River
Seine;
and
a
relationship
name
from
the
Old
French
personal
name
Patrice,
Patris
and
the
Latin
Patricius
(from
“patrician”
(nobleman)
that
became
associated with the Trojan hero Paris of Homer’s Iliad).
