GEORGE PARKINS, of Milton, was born December 24, 1817, in England, where he went to school. In 1842 he came to St. Louis, Missouri, where he worked in the stove-coal trade until 1849. He then moved to Green county, Wisconsin, where he was engaged in hauling lead from Mineral Point to Milwaukee, for three years. He then bought a small farm, which he worked until 1864. He was married in 1837 to Ann Garlick, a native of England, born in 1817. Ten children have resulted from this union. Their names are: Ann (now Mrs. Stuck); Thomas, Wright, Robert, Joseph, Elizabeth, George, Charles, Peter, and Mary. In 1864 Mr. Parkins came to Milton township and settled on section 10. He had traded his farm in Wisconsin for this, "unsight and unseen." He has been a successful farmer. His son George now carries on the farm of one hundred and forty acres. He was a democrat, but when his son Thomas came home from the army he told him" he had had enough democratic balls shot at him, and not to vote that ticket again." He is now a republican.
