(VI) Elkanah Phillips Parker, son of Nathan Parker (5), was born in Merrimack, New Hamp- shire, June 6, 1807. He succeeded his father in the store. He conducted a farm and for many years carried on an extensive business in lumber. He was a Republican in politics and a man of much in- fluence in his neighborhool. He held all the offices within the gift of the town.
He married Sarah Corning, of Litchfield, New Hampshire, March 31, 1831. She was born January 5, 1809, daughter of Samuel and Mary ( Cochran) Corning, and died January 7, 1845. Their children were: Elkanah Corning, born October 7, 1832, died August 1, 1901; Carmi M., of whom later; Sarah E., born February 7, 1838; Mary Jane, born Decem- ber 1, 1841, died February 16, 1864.

(VII) Carmi M. Parker, son of Elkanah Phillips Parker (6), was born in Merrimack, Hills- boro county, New Hampshire, August 8, 1835. He attended the public and high schools and the Merrimack Normal Institute at Reed's Ferry, New Hampshire, - graduating in 1856. After leaving school he had a general country store at Merrimack, purchased of his father, and he conducted this busi- ness until 1866, when he began the manufacture of furniture under the name of Parker & Company. He designed his own patterns, and his furniture was very popular. His trade grew to extensive pro- portions throughout New England and the middle states. He produced high grade walnut furniture chiefly, and had in his employ eighty or more hands. In 1880, when he decided to remove to Fitchburg, he was importuned by Merrimack in- terests to remain there. He decided, however, that it would be to the advantage of his business to locate either in Worcester or Fitchburg, and he finally chose the latter city. He brought with him about fifty of his old hands, and established his plant in the large building on Newton lane, owned and at present occupied by the Putnam Machine Company, and continued his business to the full capacity of his accommodations. He also opened a retail department, which he conducted for eight years. He was his own traveling salesman part of this time also.
In 1899 he established the Boston Screw Com- pany in the Pitts mill, and began to manufacture all kinds of screws. In 1890 he found it to his ad- vantage to devote all his capital and energy to the new business, and he closed out the furniture fac- tory, much to the regret of his old customers. The furniture business was prosperous and many Fitch- burg people regretted its discontinuance. Later he also sold his retail store. He began the screw bus- iness with some twenty-five hands. His company made flat, round, oval, fancy headed, bright and blue iron screws of various sizes and of high stand- ard. In 1903 Mr. Parker decided to retire, and gave up business. He has since lived in Fitchburg, and
been occupied only with the care of his property.
He has, since coming to Fitchburg, taken a con- stant interest in public affairs. He is a Republican in politics. He served two years in the common council. He was a representative to the New Hampshire legislature, and treasurer of the town, while living in Merrimack. He has been president of the Fitchburg Merchants' Association; is a direc- tor of the Fitchburg National Bank; a member of the board of investment and one of the trustees of the Fitchburg Savings Bank; director of the Wachu- sett Fire Insurance Company ; president of the board of trustees of the Normal Institute at Reed's Ferry, of which he is an alumnus. He is a member of the Park Club of Fitchburg, and was formerly a member of the Amoskeag Veterans, at Manches- ter. He is an active member of the Congregational Church. Mr. Parker stands among the foremost business men of Fitchburg for public spirit, and his good judgment and ability are generally recognized by his associates in the business and financial world.
Mr. Parker married in 1863, Annie E. McGaw, who died March 27, 1904, at Fitchburg. She was the daughter of Isaac and Eliza ( Armour) McGaw. Her father was a prominent lawyer in Windham, New Hampshire. He represented his town in the legislature. The children of Carmi M. and Annie E. Parker are: George L., a graduate of Brown University, married Inez Draper, and they have two children ; Harry C., who formerly assisted his father in the factory ; Maurice W., a graduate of the Fitch- burg high school.

He had twenty acres of land allotted to him on the Neck.

White, son of Deacon Joseph White, March 15, 1843. The house was burned first by the Indians and the second house was built in 1816.
