ORIGIN OF THE NAME, HENRY STRONG PARISH:
       While visiting at the Parrish home, Captain William Strong, and intimate friend of Henry's parents, was informed that a new baby boy had been born to them.  Captain William Strong said, "Let me name the baby and I will give him my gold watch and chain."
       It was agreed, but there being an older brother named William Parrish, Captain Strong named the baby after his olny brother, Henry Strong.  Hence the baby was named Henry Strong Parrish.
       His father traded this watch for a cow, and when Henry was sixteen years olf, his increase was ten cows.
