Bull Gap, Tennessee
April 13, 1865
Dear Brother and Sister-in-law and Niece,
I answer your letter dated Mar. 26 that I just received this evening, which gave me great pleasure to learn that you are enjoying good health and the rest of our relatives. For me, I enjoy good health. I hope that the present letter will find you the same at it's arrival. Dear brother, we have left Huntsville, Alabama the 25th of March to come here, the eastern part of Tennessee. There is almost 300 miles to Huntsville. I cannot tell you how long we will remain here. All the country that I saw around here are mountainous. I saw great mountains. I saw some 700 ft. high and saw one 1500 ft. high. There is some forts on the summit.Dear I just received a letter from my wife dated the 21st of March. She tells me that she has not received any news from France nor from you. It seems a letter is lost in some place. I told her if she received any news to send to me as soon as she receives it. I wish very much that you would give me some news in your first letter. I like it very much as a soldier now that is all I have to sayfor present, except that you give my compliments to the relations. Receive the salutations the most sincere on the part of your brother J. P. Parrot.
Dear Sister-in-law,
I think your work goes better this time than the time before. I hope it will be a boy that you will have. I wish you good and courage at the birth of the child.
Dear Brother,
Kiss my nieces for me. My wife gave you good many compliments. She is in good health as well as my two boys.

"Job and Hannah "Anna" were married December 26, 1849 at Saint Michael Church in Coventry, Warwick, England. (shown on film 549662) Their first son, George Henry Hale, was christened September 14, 1851 at Saint Nicholas Church in Warwick, Warwick England. (shown on film 554732) Job, Hannah and George made the trip to America when George was about 4 years old in 1855. I do not know what ship they came over on or where they landed but in June 1856 their daughter Annie was born in Waterford. Job, Jr. and Arthur W. were also born in Oakland County in 1857 and 1863 respectively. Henry Foster Hale was born in Livingston County in 1865 and the records show Mary Hale being born in Highland in July of 1867. Job, Jr. died in that same year of a fever in Highland.
The Tyrone, Livingston County land map of 1875 shows Job Hale owning two plots of land. A forty acre section in the middle of the township and another 20 in the northeast section of the Township. Job not only farmed but served as Post Master in Tyrone for a number of years. He lived in Tyrone until about 1895 when his wife Anna died. Then he went to live with his son Henry,his wife and 5 children in Marion in Clare County. Job had gone to visit his daughter, Mrs. Annie Jacobs in Hartland when he was taken sick and died in July of 1898. At the time of his death, he was survived by two brothers and one sister. He also left behind three sons and one daughter to mourn their loss. I have been unable to locate the burial site of Job, Anna, Job, Jr. or Mary."
