His grandfather, Major Ezra Owen, was born March 17, 1770, in Halifax county, Virginia, we t to Kentucky when a young man, and fought the Indians with Daniel Boon . In 18og, the year the Territorial government was organized, he moved with his family from Kentucky to Kaskaskia, Illinois. His eldest son, Thomas J. V. Owen, born in Kentucky, was married in Kaskaskia, July 15, 1823, to Emeline Hotchkiss. Their eldest son is the one whose name heads this sketch.

PARKS, BEAUMONT, was born Jan., 1775, in Norwich, Conn. He was an orphan at twelve years of age, and resolved to educate himself. In order to obtain the means to do so, he began trading with the French Canadians and Indians. He worked his way out, in company with his brother-in-law, Rev.

SANGAMON COUNTY.

Mr. Bacon, father of Rev. Leonard Bacon, D. D., of New Haven, Conn., through the rivers and lakes, from Vermont to the region of Georgian Bay and Lake Huron. As winter approached, he commenced building a house with the intention of re- maining in it until spring. He was dis- covered by Col. Dunham, commander of the U. S. Fort, at Michilimacinac. Col. Dunham was astonished at seeing a boy of fourteen or fifteen years preparing to win- ter alone in that inhospitable region, and enquired what he was aiming to do. On being told by young Parks that he was trying to raise money to defray the ex- pense of an education, Col. Dunham of- fered him a home in his own family, with the promise of assisting him in his purpose. He accepted the kind pro- position, went to the Fort and remained there between three and four years. Dur- ing that time his savings amounted to about $So. Expressing his determination to set out for College, Col. Dunham sent some friendly Indians to accompany him a portion of the distance. He traveled in a birch canoe through the upper lakes and portions of Canada, and thence east. When he had gone about two-thirds of the distance, he was taken sick with small pox, and was compelled to travel alone until he could find shelter, although he was then in a part of the country more or less settled by white men. At Montreal, a French Canadian took him in and nursed him for nearly a month, until he was able to pursue his journey. His sav- ings were now reduced to about thirty dollars, but his hospitable friend would not receive anything for his trouble. His exhausted condition required the expendi- ture of more money, and when he arrived at his destination his money had all van- ished. Notwithstanding so much time was lost, after a journey of one thousand six hundred miles, he found himself at Dartmouth College, a stranger, and des- titute. Yet he boldly knocked at the doors of that institution of learning for admittance. That was about the year 1798. By diligent study while in the family of Col. Dunham, he was enabled to teach the lower branches. He then made arrangements to continue teaching in summer and attend college in the win- ter, and prosecuted his studies while teaching, so as not to fall behind in his

class. He was thus enabled to defray his expenses, with some aid furnished by Col. Dunham., and in that way went through college on equal terms with Daniel Web- ster, Levi Woodbury-the latter of whom was his class-mate-and other world-wide celebrities. After passing through col- lege he entered the law office of Judge Slade, of Middlebury, Vt., and in due time was admitted to the bar. He was married in IS11, at Windsor, Vt., to Nancy Cowant. He soon acquired a large and lucrative practice, which he held for about ten years, when-however others might think-he became convinced that it was impossible to be a successful lawyer and a thoroughly honest man. That, with other causes, induced him to abandon his practice and move west. He left Vermont, and in August, 1821, landed at Madison, Ind., where he opened an academy for the education of young men, which was one of the earliest institutions of the kind established west of the Alle- gheny mountains, and probably the first school in the State of Indiana where the Greek and Latin languages were tanght. It was attended by many who have be- come distinguished at the bar, on the bench, and in the councils of the nation, such as the Hendricks, Sullivans, Brights, Sheets, Cravens, and many others. After ten years success in Madison, he was ap- pointed Professor of languages in the In- diana State University, at Bloomington, and was in that position about seven years. He came to Springfield, Ill., in the autumn of 1840, and at once opened a private school or academy, which was generally supported by all the leading citizens, and many of the students have become dis- tinguished in the learned professions, in politics and business. When the city schools of Springfield were organized on the present plan, he was the first Superin- tendent, and continued teaching in Spring- field for nearly twenty years, when old age caused him to relinquish his chosen field. Mr. and Mrs. Parks had four chil- dren in Vermont, one of whom died there, and five in Indiana, one of whom died there. Of the other seven children-

SUSAN, born Dec., IS12, in Vermont, was married Dec. 29, 1832, in Indiana, to John Bennett. They moved to Liherty, Mo., and she died there in March, IS52. Of their children, WARWICK S. went

CLARINDA A., born Jan. 22, 1838, married June 23, 1859, to Thomas B. Petefish, who was born Aug. 7, 1833, in Shenandoah Valley, Virginia. They have five children, MARION P., LOT- TIE LOU, ELIZABETH M., MELIN- DA E. and PEARLIE M., and reside near Belvoir, Douglas county, Kansas.

James Parkinson and wife reside in Cur- ran township, eight miles west of Spring- field, Ill .- south of Spring creek, and within one mile of where they were married. This sketch was written at their residence on the evening of Nov. 7, IS73, the fortieth anniversary of their marriage. They had at their table that day all their five children, fourteen of their seventeen living grandchildren-three be- ing in Kansas,-and all their sons and daughters-in-law except Mr. Petefish, of Kansas.

The courtships of George Bryan-see his name -and that of James Parkinson and Mahala Earnest are, so far as I am informed, the two shortest on record. For two years previous to their marriage, Mr. Parkinson "waited on" Miss Ear- nest. Adopting a custom then quite prev- alent, he would start on horseback, call for her, and propose that they go to church, to a wedding, to a social gathering or a dancing party. If she assented, he would take her behind himself on the horse, and set out. If she declined, he would usually spend the day or evening, as the case might be, with her. This was the practice with them for about two years, and I have it from their own lips that the subject of their marriage was

never mentioned between them. Finally Mr. P. made up his mind to change the programme. He first, without consulting the lady or any friend of hers, went to Springfield and obtained a license for the marriage of James Parkinson and Mahala Earnest. He called at her father's house on the morning of Nov. 7, 1833, and told her that he would be there that evening, and wished her to be at home. That was the first time he ever notified her beforehand to expect him. He then de- parted hurriedly, without giving the slightest intimation of the object of his proposed visit. The next movement was to call on a Justice of the Peace by the name of Robison, and request that offi- cer to meet him the same evening at the house of David McCoy, where Mr. P. boarded. The Esquire wanted to know if it was necessary for him to take any papers or legal forms. Mr. P. replied, as he departed hurriedly, that he had all the papers necessary. The Justice met him at the appointed time and place, when he was informed that he was expected to sol- emnize a marriage. 'Squire Robison, Mr. McCoy and Mr. Parkinson set out on horseback, crossing Spring creek from north to south, and arrived about sundown at the residence of Miss Earnest's father, to find the young lady out on the open prairie milking the cows. Mr. P. had not intimated to the other gentlemen that he had his courting yet to do. They separated to find hitching places for their horses; and as they did so, Mr. P. went to Miss Earnest and told her that he had come to marry her, and asked if she would have him. She stood, milk pail in hand, and, after a few moment's medita- tion, said, "Go in the house, and I will be there directly." These were the only words that ever passed between them by way of courtship. She then resumed her milking, and finished it as though nothing unusual had occurred. The father of Miss Earnest was attending to some outdoor work, and Mr. P. approached and told the old gentleman that he had come to marry his daughter, and asked his consent to the union. Mr. Earnest replied that he had no objection to the marriage, but re- gretted that he had not been notified in time to make suitable preparations for so important an event. Mr. Parkinson said, "I have made all the preparations neces-

sary, as I have the license in my pocket, and the 'Squire is here, ready to perform his part." They were married that very evening, and the notes from which this sketch was written were taken in their presence, on the evening of the fortieth anniversary of their wedding.

His reasons for taking such a course were secreted in his own breast for forty years, and were revealed, for the first time, to the writer on the evening of the anniversary above named. I can assure the reader that there was nothing in it calculated to cast the slightest shadow of reproach on the character of either of the parties. It was a method of his own for solving a problem, entirely right in itself, but not such a mode as I should have adopted, for the reason that the courting was too soon over. I would much prefer to prolong so pleasant a pastime. I may divulge his secret if he fails to invite me to his golden wedding Nov. 7, 1SS3; but if he invites me to help celebrate that day, and treats me as well as he did on the fortieth anniversary, he may retain it forty years longer, if he wishes to.
