General Notes: Husband - Rev. Michael A. Parkinson


His ancestors settled in an early day on the Monongahela river, near Monongahela City, Washington County, Pennsylvania. In 1837 his father removed to Beaver County, and located on a farm in Raccoon township. Soon after their removal to that county, he began a course of study at Bethel Academy, near Pittsburgh, under Rev. George Marshall, D. D. Afterward he attended Frankfort academy, under the supervision of Rev. James Sloan, D. D., and Hon. Thomas Nicholson, and graduated at Jefferson College, Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, under the presidency of Rev. Robert J. Breckenridge, D. D. He studied theology at the Western Theological Seminary at Allegheny City, and was licensed by the Presbytery of Ohio (later the Presbytery of Pittsburgh). The greater part of his ministry was spent in Ohio, in the bounds of the Presbytery of Steubenville.
