Raised near the Great Lakes, Ezra was a good sailor and could handle almost any kind of craft. Many times when the prophet Joseph Smith found it necessary to slip away from his enemies, He would carry the Prophet in pitch darkness in his canoe across the raging Mississippi. He lived near the Prophet in Nauvoo.
The Parrish family started for Utah in 1847.
Ezra Parish left a statement dated 1 Aug 1844 naming Aunt Martha Carter, Uncle Braddock Carter, Cousin Sarah Carter and Cousin Zina Carter, all of whom were dead in 1844. Also named were Uncle Eber Palmer, Cousin Rebecca Carpenter, Aunt Rosanna Ellis, Uncle Henry Watt, Uncle Simeon Rhodes, Aunt Huldah Rhodes, Aunt Ruth Parish, Aunt Rachel Rhodes, Cousin Polly Rhodes, Uncle Stewart, Uncle Jonathan Haize and Aunt Eunice Haize.
There may be another connection between the Parishes and Carters other than the marriage of Martha (Patty) Carter to Rufus. (He also named his Aunt Rosanora Ellis and uncle Henry Watt.)

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.
