Shared note

b 30 Jan 1738 at Camerton, about 2 miles south of Timbsbury, parents John and Elizabeth FHL 4185230

siblings:
Thomas Parsons b 16 Mar 1740 at Camerton, parents John and Elizabeth
Caleb Parsons bp 29 May 1743 at Timsbury but from Camerton (2m SE Timsbury), parents John and Elizabeth
Isaac Parsons b 29 Dec 1745 at Camerton, parents John and Elizabeth
Ann Parsons b 21 Feb 1752 at Timsbury, parents John and Elizabeth

possible parents' marriage: John Parsons m 4 Jul 1731 to Elizabeth Light at Norton Malreward (10m NW Camerton)

m 11 Apr 1762 at High Littleton to Martha Evans. At the time of his marriage, he is over 21 (b before 1741), and a yeoman of Timsbury, while she was a minor (over 18 but under 21, born between 1741 and 1744) from High Littleton, father John Evans.

d 19 Sep 1797 at High Littleton, Somerset. There is also another John Parsons who died in High LIttleton 22 Dec 1790. this could also be "our" John Parsons. I chose the later date with no logical reasoning.

Other candidate John Parsons born in the area were:
b 3 Dec 1737 at Shepton Mallet (12m SW Timbsbury), parents John and Mary
b 11 Mar 1738 at Bristol (11m NW Timsbury), parents Richard
b 27 Dec 1739 at Clifton St Andrew (13m NW Timsbury), parents Thomas
b 27 Feb 1740 at Box, Wiltshire (13m NE Timsbury), parents Thomas and Mary
b 8 Feb 1741 at Redcliffe St Mary, Bristol (11m NW Timsbury), parents John and Mary
b 28 Feb 1741 at Bristol (11m NW Timsbury), parents Robert
b 11 Oct 1742 at Farmborough (1m N Timsbury), so aged 19 at the time of a supposed marriage in April 1762. As he had 2 siblings, Frances b 1 Aug 1740, and Jane b 10 Sep 1741, it seems unlikely it was a late baptism for him. So we have to exclude him.

Various other Parsons:
d 6 May 1727 John Parsons at Camerton
m 3 Mar 1728 at Camerton John Parsons of Hinton Blewit and Sarah Mohun of Chewton
d 1 Feb 1729 Joan Parsons (widow) at Camerton
