Parson Creek
Parson Creek is a stream in Sullivan, Linn and Livingston counties of the U.S. state of Missouri.[1] It is a tributary of the Grand River.
The stream headwaters arise in southwestern Sullivan County approximately three miles southeast of
US Route 36. The stream enters the Fountain Grove Conservation Area and crosses into Livingston County to its confluence with the Grand River less than one-half mile south of the Linn-Livingston county line and 1.5 miles east of the community of Bedford at 39°41′55″N 93°20′35″W / 39.698503°N 93.343148°W.[1][2]
According to tradition, Parson Creek was named for an incident in which a parson drowned in its swollen waters.[3]
