Parshall. This gentleman of whom we now write, whose pleasant home is to be found in the Ann Arbor Township, is descended on both sides from heroic and high minded people who considered principle above policy, and loyalty to God and liberty as above all considerations of comfort and ease. His parents were John and Persis (Hopkinson) Parshall, the former's ancestors being of Huguenot birth, who fled from their native home during the persecutions of Louis XIV, and located in Orange County, N.Y., during the latter part of the seventeenth century. On the mother's side our subject comes from good old Revolutionary stock, they coming to this country from England in 1636, as Jonathan Hopkinson and four of his sons, Caleb (Mr. Parshall's grandfather), David, Jonathan, and John enlisted in the Continental Army and served the cause of freedom through that terrible struggle. Our subject was born in Palmyra, N.Y., February 23, 1820, and his father, John Parshall, who was a contractor on the Erie Canal in New York, and also on the Cleveland and Columbus Canal in Ohio, removed in 1833 with his family to Michigan and was further engaged on the Detroit and Saginaw turnpike and later on the Clinton and Kalamazoo Canal. The record of patriotism which we have already given does not by any means tell the history of the exploits of this family, as John Parshall was a captain in the War of 1812 and saw battle at Lewiston and received a land grant for his services, while his wife's father and five of her brothers were also engaged in this same war-like service and took part in the battle of Lundy's Lane. One son, Paul, was captured at Queenstown and was confined in Quebec until an exchange was effected. John Parshall died at Mendon, St. Joseph County, Mich., October 7, 1858, and his widow received a pension through the remainder of her life which lasted some twenty years. Our subject spent his early days laboring with his father in the different enterprises which he undertook. In 1841 they were large contractors on the Illinois and Michigan Canal and were successful and prosperous in their work, but when the State of Illinois suspended work on the public enterprises they were thrown into financial difficulties which greatly embarrassed them, but they were so happy as to be able to pay all obligations and soon began life again. The children who came to bless the union of James Parshall and Esther McFarlend are Julian G., of Bucyrus, Ohio, Adrian J., who is connected with the bank at Cheyenne, Wyo.; Florence, who is now Mrs. C.R. Henry of AuSable. Mrs. Parshall died in 1856 and her husband then married Christina Culbertson of Tecumseh, Mich., by whom he had one son, Charles T., who is now married to Miss Annie White and lives on the farm. Mr. Parshall in February, 1869, was called to lay in her grave this companion, and in November, 1870, he married Mrs. Sarah (Twamley) Stevenson, his present wife, who has borne him one child, Lena, a young lady of seventeen and a student in the High School. Mrs. Parshall is a daughter of John and Ellen (Molyneaux) Twamley, natives of Ireland, where Mr. Twamley had carried on a mercantile business in Dublin. His daughter was born September 25, 1836, in Lyndon Township, this county, and was for several years the wife of Francis L. Stevenson of Dexter. After his death, which took place September 9, 1864, she removed to Ann Arbor, which was her home until her marriage with Mr. Parshall. She had two children by her previous marriage: Ellen L., wife of W.D. Washburn, an able attorney of Chicago, She departed this life at her home in Chicago, October 15, 1891; Harry, died August 16, 1864, 1864, aged sixteen months. The farm of Mr. Parshall comprises some one hundred acres and upon it he has five thousand peach trees and about thirteen hundred pear trees. His crop generally averages about two thousand bushels of peaches and he makes a specialty of fruit. He was the first man to settle upon land between Ann Arbor and Geddesburg when there was not a road nor a tree cut through this section. He stands at the head of the fruit growers in this county as he has an orchard of six thousand five hundred trees, mainly peaches, and all are the finest grades of fruit. In 1842 our subject received a commission as Captain of Company A, Ninth Regiment Michigan Militia. In politics he always affiliates with the Democratic party and was County Drainage Commissioner from 1862 until 1870. He has also been Treasurer of Washtenaw County Agricultural and Horticultural Society, and has held the same office in both the county Pomological Society and the Pioneer Society of Washtenaw County." Taken from the Portrait and Biographical Album, pages 297-8. "James Judson Parshall, who is carrying on general farming and fruit raising in Ann Arbor township, giving supervision to his business interests although he has passed the eighty-sixth milestone on life's journey, was born in Palmyra, New York, February 23, 1820. He is a representative of one of the old New England families and the ancestry can be traced back to England. The first of the family to come to America was James Parshall, who was sent here by the English government to build a fort at the mouth of the Connecticut river at Saybrook. He landed on the shores of the new world in 1634 and devoted his life to civil engineering and surveying. The great-great-grandfather of our subject was a minister and the great-grandfather, Jonathan Parshall, followed the occupation of farming on Long Island, while James Parshall, the grandfather, who resided in Orange county, New York, followed the occupation of surveying and died in Palmyra in 1825. John Parshall, father of our subject, was a native of the Empire state and married Persis Hopkinson, who was also born in New York. He was a farmer in early life but became better known as a contractor and builder of canals and took a contract for the construction of a part of the Erie canal. He was likewise engaged in canal building in Ohio, Michigan and Illinois and was also engaged in the mercantile business. He died in the year 1857. In his family were eleven children: Harriet, Julia, Sallie, Elizabeth, James J., Rebecca, Norman Caleb, John Melvin, Charles Henry and Priscilla. The father was a soldier of the war of 1812 holding the rank of lieutenant and there were eleven representatives of the family name in the Revolutionary war, so that it will be seen that patriotism and loyalty have been among the strong characteristics of the Parshalls. James Judson Parshall, of this review, was brought to Michigan in his youth and was a student in the schools of Pontiac. After putting aside his text books he was employed in a store until twenty-one years of age, when he went upon the lakes, spending three years as a soldier. In January, 1845, he came to Ann Arbor and soon afterward purchased a farm of one hundred and sixty acres in Ann Arbor township, while subsequently he bought sixty acres of land additional. All of this land he cleared, taking from it about eight hundred cords of stone, which was used for building purposes in Ann Arbor. He laid out Geddes avenue, which passes his home, and was the first man to travel over it. Mr. Parshall has carried on general agriculture pursuits, cultivating the crops best adapted to soil and climate and also raising sheep. He has likewise given considerable attention to horticultural pursuits and at one time had an orchard of five thousand peach trees, four hundred apple trees and six hundred pear trees in bearing condition and his fruit raising interests constitute no unimportant part of his business. In 1845, Mr. Parshall was untied in marriage to Miss Esther McFarland and unto them were born five children, of whom two are yet living, namely : A.J., who is a civil engineer in the employ of the United States government at Cheyenne, Wyoming : and Florence, who is the wife of C.R. Henry, an attorney of Alpena, Michigan. The mother of these children died in October, 1856, and in March, 1857, Mr. Parshall married Elizabeth Culbertson, by whom he had a son, Charles, now managing the home farm. For his third wife he married Mrs. Sarah Stevenson, now deceased, and to them was born a daughter, Lena, at home. In his political views Mr. Parshall is an earnest democrat and his fellow townsmen, recognizing his worth and ability, have called him to some offices. He has served as county drain commissioner for eight years and as county supervisor for one year, and at all times and in all relations of life he has been loyal to the best interests of the county in which he has so long made his home, living here from pioneer times to the present. His name is a synonym for honor and integrity in business affairs, and in the evening of life he is enjoying the respect and veneration which should ever be accorded one who has advanced thus far on the journey. His success is attributable entirely to his own efforts and his honesty, and his life record presents many traits of character worthy of emulation." Above taken from the book Past and Present of Washtenaw County, 1906, pages 444 & 445. "March 1, 1910. Grandfather Parshall taken suddenly very ill. Guy and I out all day, off and on.

Grandson of James Judson Parshall. "J.D. Parshall Lived To Ripe Old Age Here - Passed Away Last Night Respected by All His Friends and Acquaintances. -- James Judson Parshall, one of the oldest residents of the city, having passed his 90th birthday anniversary the 23rd of last month, died last night at his home on Geddes avenue. Mr. Parshall was probably as well known among the older people as any man in the city, and in spite of his years he was active and alert and in very good health until his last illness which began Monday. He was born in Palmyra, N.Y., and was a representative of one of the old New England families whose ancestry can be traced back to England. He was brought to Michigan in his youth and was a student in the Pontiac schools, afterwards being employed in a store and later going upon the lakes and spending three years as a soldier. In January, 1845, he came to Ann Arbor township, and later bought 60 acres additional. He built the first house on Geddes avenue, laid out the avenue and was the first man to travel over it. All of the land he bought he cleared, taking from it about 800 cords of stone, 6,000 loads, and from them were made the foundations of the campus buildings, the Congregational church and they were also used for other building purposes in the city. Mr. Parshall had all these years followed the occupation of farming and fruit growing, and that he had the respect of his fellow citizens is shown by the fact that for eight years he served as county drain commissioner, and as county supervisor for one year. He was known always as a man honest in all his business relations, and that he was so successful in life is attributable largely to this fact, and to his untiring industry. Four children survive him, Miss Lena Parshall, with whom he lived, Mrs. C.R. Henry of Alpena, Mich., Charles of Ann Arbor and A.J., who graduated from the university in 1871, and is now in the employ of the United States government at Cheyenne, Wyo. The funeral services will be held Saturday afternoon at 2:30, standard time, at the residence. Rev. Mr. Woodhams officiating and the burial will be in Fores Hill cemetery."

"A map given to Matthew McCormack by Robin Swisher for his 22nd birthday (30 Sept. 1989), and framed by her parents shows the following: James Judson Parshall's block of land is in section 34, Ann Arbor. The map is an original 1874, Everts & Stewart map of Ann Arbor Township. Also included is a reference sheet from R.L. Ridell Rare Maps & Prints."
