1. JOHN PARKHURST, son of Josiah6, Jr., VI, b. in Weston, Mass ., May 2 (3 in the published genealogy), 1760, came to Marlborough, about 1788, and located, either on his father's farm, or on the one adjoining, afterwards owned by Ebenezer Colburn. He opperated a store in Marlborough. In 1801, he bought the building at Sullivan Four Corners, at 97, built by Enoch Woods, which had already been used for a store. It was the house where D. H. Mason lived, and, afterwards, Tirzah Boynton. John7 Parkhurst used this building for a store from 1801 to 1807, when he sold it. He operated the store either personally or by the aid of clerks, but did not probably derive an official residence in town, for he appears, from recorded deeds, to have been a legal resident of Marlborough in practically every year that he owned this building. In 1813, he left Marlborough, and moved to Springfield, Bradford Co., Pa., where he d., Nov. 1, 1836, while sitting in a rocking chair that he had taken with him from New Hampshire. He served in the Revolution; was a church member; and kept a diary for thirty years. He m. Ist, Dec. 17, 1783, Sarah Bullard, who d. at Springfield, Pa., Feb. 8, 1818. He m. 2d, Oct. 31, 1822, Margaret Randel of Canton, Pa. He had an interesting family. Four of his sons were physicians, and one of these was the judge of a Pennsylvania court. His record is not here given in minute detail, because he did not establish a legal residence in Sullivan. His nine ch., all by the Ist w., were the following :
