General Notes: Husband - John Parker

---

He was Scotch by birth, and in 1859 emigrated to America with his family, his wife's family having previously come to Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, where the Parkers stopped two years. In 1861, he brought his family to Wayne township, Lawrence County, where he bought sixty acres of the old Matheny farm from Mr. Fombelle. The property was partially cleared and had a log house on it, which he made the family home until his circumstances allowed him in 1877 to build a new home, the farm having been cleared and made productive of a comfortable revenue. When he decided to give up active labor, he retired to Wampum, where he resided up to the time of his death.

In many essential respects he was a self-made man: he arrived in America after a journey of three weeks and two days on the sailing-vessel Constitution practically without means. He made a home for his family of six children, who lived to reflect much honor on their name.
The Parkers were adherents of the United Presbyterian Church, and he was a loyal Republican.
