ELIJAH PARKER was born in Boone County, Ky., December 21, 1840, the sixth
child in a family of nine children born to Richard and Sarah (Hogan)
Parker.  Richard Parker was a son of Richard Parker, Sr., who emigrated
from Culpeper County, Va., to Boone County, Ky., in 1796; Richard Jr.,
was born where our subject now lives, in what is known as the "split rock"
neighborhood, one of the oldest settlements in the county.  He was a
farmer, as was also his father, represented Boone County in the
Legislature in 1841-42, and was otherwise prominent in matters pertaining
to the public good of the county and State; he died March 21, 1879.  The
mother of our subject was a consistent Christian during her lifetime, and
was respected by all who knew her; she died October 19, 1854.  Elijah
Parker was reared on a farm, which occupation he has always followed,
and is now the owner of 190 acres bordering on the Ohio River; he was
deputy clerk of Boone County for nine years.  He served three years and
eight months in the Second Kentucky Infantry, Confederate Army, was
wounded three times, viz: in battles at Chickamauga, Fort Donelson and
in Georgia, and was also taken prisoner at Clarkesville, Tenn.  He has
in his possession a flint-lock shot-gun brought from England by one of
his ancestors 150 years ago, which he showed to this author.  In 1867
he married Adelaide V. Terrill, a daughter of George W. Terrill, of
Boone County, who represented Boone County in the Legislature in
1869-70, and seven children have blessed their union: Blanche L.,
Amanda, Lizzie A., Charles Lee (deceased), Parris B., John R. and
Georgie.  Mrs. Parker was born in Mason County, Ky., March 6, 1849,
she is a member of the Christian Church.
