Hi Steven,
Thanks a million.  It was Parnassus.  I had left out the "R"
when I send the original query.  The information you sent is
very helpful.  I'm trying to recreate my family's movements,
as much as possible, from the old letters.  This is the
second location that I've run up on that no longer exist, at
least under the name quoted in the letters.  The first was
Shoe Heel, NC which I found is now the town of Maxton.
Once again thanks for the feedback, the info is super.
