Thomas Henry Parrott (17 October 1836 – 27 March 1899) was an English musician. He operated a music business in East Portland, Oregon, which was noted as energizing the community's business environment.
Parrott was born in Kent, England, on 17 October 1836 to Samuel Henry Parrott and the former Maria Everest, both of England.[1] His mother's family were notable musicians in England.[1] In 1854, the Parrott family emigrated to the United States.[1] They eventually settled down in Sherwood, Oregon. However, the family moved without Thomas H. Parrott, who stayed behind to study to become a shoe maker.[1] Two years later, he came to Oregon and worked as a shoe maker.[1]
