He was born in 1833/34 (9 (27 in 1861), 18 (29 in 1863), 25 (29 at death)). He was born to Charles R Parsons (18).
On 27 May 1858, Reverend Joseph H Kennard married Theodore H Parsons and Lucy C Radcliff, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (25). When he died, they had two living children:(25)
Elizabeth Radcliff was the midwife at both births (25).
In 1860, he was living in the 13th ward of Philadelphia (14). He was a confectioner, and owned $600 in personal property (14). He was living with Lucy Parson (presumably his wife), Adelaide Parson (presumably his daughter), and another person (14).
When he enlisted, he was living in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (9).
He enlisted and was mustered into service as a second lieutenant on 21 September 1861, at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (1, 4 [20 Sep], 9, 10, 12, 17, 25 [enrolled 21 Sep, mustered in as 2nd lt 25 Sep]). He was enlisted for three years, at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, by Lieutenant Colonel Reiff (12). He was second lieutenant of company C (1, 32).
On 29 June 1862, he, along with the other commissioned officers in the regiment (except Colonel Gregory), signed a statement denying accusations that they were on the verge of open mutiny, that the regiment had been reduced to 400 men, and that Colonel Gregory was too lenient to Confederates and too harsh to men in the regiment (16).
He was promoted to first lieutenant on 16 August 1862 (4, 9, 10 [15 Aug]).
He was promoted to captain on 27 October 1862 when James Sulger was discharged (1, 4, 9).
At some point, while he was captain, Andrew Brown sent $25 home with him (31).
After the Battle of Fredericksburg, he wrote a letter to the widow of William H Brown, confirming his death (24):
I received your letter of inquiry in regard to your Husband William Henry and I am sorry to inform you that he was mortally wounded on the 13th inst and died, from the effects of his wounds on the morning of the 16th; he was brought to this side of the river and had his leg amputated and had attention paid him untill [sic] he was buried. I was present with him when he died, and I think that death relieved him of a great deal of pain for he suffered untold agony from the time he was wounded; he was struck by a shell which injured both legs and tore off part of his thigh. The account of his burial by the Hon John Covode is very near correct; with the difference that it was not on the battle field but three miles away that he died, and I left Conrad and John Wright to bury him as I was ordered away with the company. His body can be sent home but we are all out of money: he will have to be embalmed and I would like to know wether [sic] you would like to have his body remain where it is untill [sic] some of his Relatives come for it or wether [sic] you will wait untill [sic] the Regt is paid off when Conard [sic] proposes to send him home. It will cost about $50 to get his body to Philada. Conrad is safe so is Harry [sic] McKane.
On 7 February 1863, he was sick in his quarters (5). On 11 February 1863, he was absent on a 15-day leave because of illness (6). He was returned to duty on 28 February 1863 (7).
He was wounded in the knee and hip on 3 May 1863 at Chancellorsville, Virginia (1, 4, 8, 11, 21, 28, 29, 30). According to one report, he was shot while saving the regimental colors (29).
On 9 May 1863, he was admitted to a hospital in Georgetown (29). On 11 May 1863, his left leg was amputated (29). The upper part of his left femur was donated to the US Army Medical Museum (29).
He died of pyaemia, resulting from gunshot wound of the knee, at Seminary Hospital, in Georgetown, DC, on 26 June 1863 (1, 2, 3, 4, 9 [26 Jun 62], 11, 12 [Washington DC], 18, 23 [21 June], 25, 29). He was captain of company C (32). His body was sent to Philadelphia for burial (11). The funeral was held from 623 Weaver Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (his father's residence) (18). He was buried on 2 July 1863 in the Hanover Street Burial Ground (18, 23 [Union Harmony Ground [Kensington]).
On 28 July 1863, his widow, Lucy C Parsons, applied successfully for a pension (13, 22). She and their two daughters lived at 623 Weaver Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (25). She had to resubmit paperwork to correct technical problems, and to add some evidence, including a statement from Colonel Gregory about Parsons' death (25). On 3 May 1864, she was granted a pension of $20 per month, beginning 26 June 1863 (25). Her post office address was SW Corner, 7th and Wallace Streets, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (where she had moved by 11 April 1864) (25).
In 1870, his widow, Lucy C Parsons, was living in the 13th ward of Philadelphia (15). She was a dressmaker, and owned $2800 in real estate, and $200 in personal property (15). She was living with Adelaide and Laura Parsons (presumably her daughters), and two other people (15).
In 1880, his widow, LC Parsons, was living at 729 Seventh Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (24). She was living with their daughters A D and LR, her mother, and eight boarders (24).
In 1900, his widow, Lucia Parsons, was living at 729 Seventh Street, ward 13, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (25). She was living with her daughters Laura and Adalade, and three boarders (25).
His widow, Lucy C Parsons, died on 3 May 1919 (25). She was receiving a pension of $25 per month, and had last been paid to 4 February 1919 (25). Her daughter, Laura P Tolan, of 118 East Washington Lane, Germantown, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, wrote to the Pension Bureau asking whether she would receive the last check (25). The file reports that Reimbursement replied, but doesn't record what the reply was (25).

E M GregoryIn the case of Lucy C. Parsons, widow, No. 28,582, the official evidence of the soldier's death is incomplete.

If it be shown that the certificate of a commissioned officer now in actual service cannot be obtained, the facts may be proved by the affidavits of other persons having the requisite knowledge. The officer, or affiant, must state his means of knowledge.
If the soldier was attended in his last illness by a civil Surgeon or Physician, the affidavit of such Surgeon or Physician showing the character of the disease, or injury, and date of death, must be furnished, in addition to the proof by certificate, or affidavit, as to the origin of the disease, or injury, above required.
