The 1850 census shown above is the last record I've found of 464John Parlier.

Footnote:

*The 1820 census shows 1 boy age 16-18 and 1 boy age 16-25. However, by comparing the total number of people in the household (9) with how many other people are enumerated, we see that these two entries must refer to the same person, who must have been a boy age 16-18.
