Biographical History
Quaker minister of Philadelphia and Baltimore.
Born in Maryland in 1729, the son of John and Elizabeth Roberts Parrish, he was apprenticed in Philadelphia and afterwards married Ann Wilson in 1753. Parrish travelled in the ministry to the Delaware Indians of western Pennsylvania in 1773 and again in 1784 to Barbadoes. In 1806 he wrote Remarks on the Slavery of the Black People.
Philadelphia Quaker who advocated emancipation of Negro slaves and fair treatment of the Indians.
At the request of the Indians, Parrish journeyed to three Indian - U.S. treaty councils in the early 1790's. Two councils resulted in agreements with the Six Nations (Newtown Point, N.Y., July 15, 1791 and Canandaigua, N.Y., Nov. 11, 1794). The U.S. having rejected the Indian demand for an Ohio River boundary as a prerequisite for talks, the 1793 council with the Delawares, Shawnee, Iroquois, Wyandot and nine other tribes failed to materialize. Parrish awaited this council at the British garrison in Detroit and at the Miami River in Ohio.
