A brother of I.C.Parker, Joseph, was my maternal grandfather. Joseph Parker married Amanda Hunt(?). They had 8 children, 3 girls-5 boys. Elizabeth Parker was my mother, she married James Millot and they had 2 sons and 1 daughter. I am the oldest, Juanita Haub, James Parker and Shannon Alton. I married Dr. James Haub who taught in the science department at Ohio State for 41 years. Died last November. We had one son James Parker Haub who is 27, is a senior at Ohio State majoring in zoology and natural resources. My brother said the Oklahoma Press at the university of Oklahoma (at Norman) has published some chronicles of Oklahoma about Uncle Ike. Then there are several books; "The Law West of Ft. Smith", "The Hanging Judge", "He Hanged Them High", and "Iron Men". I hope this is helpful, there was so much we did not keep, or remember. I am 68 yrs., so I knew people who remembered interesting stories about family. I only became interested when I had a son, and by that time, most of the old people were gone. We, as kids, always spent our summers on a farm near Barnesville, Ohio. Please pardon the writing, I have men painting the house, the weather is very hot and humid. Thursday my son and a friend left for Ft. Bridger where there is an old fashioned rendezvous and primitive shooting. He took two of his flintlocks along. Then they plan to go north to Yellowstone and Glacier. They have 3 weeks until fall quarter, two more and he will graduate, but plans to get his masters right away. I am assuming Corona del Mar is in California, there was no indiction on the envelope where it is. Hope I guessed right. Sincerely, Mrs. James Haub Juanita

Good Morning Joyce, This is the Granville you read about. He is credited with introducing the "Shannon Pippin" apple. Unfortunately, they don't seem to grow it anymore. Granville is the son of Joseph and Mary Billingsly Shannon, grandson of Samuel & Jean, and gr-grandson of Thomas & Eigness. It appears the Billingslys connected into the family in Tenn., or Ky., and then migrated with the Shannons(or vice-versa) into Ark. Mike

In going thru my files, I found a copy of a letter from a Mrs. Juanita Haub of Columbus, Ohio. I think it was to Malcolm Shannon who sent me a copy. Mike Sept.,1st Dear Mr. Shannon: The only information we have of Jane Shannon is: In 1760 a little boy named George Shannon, came to this country from Northern Ireland. His mother died at sea and his father, for business reasons had to return home, so left the child with a minister in Wilmington, Delaware. The father a merchant-man, was lost at sea. After George grew up he went west and settled in Bedford County, Pennslyvania. He joined the Continental Army and was at the seige of Yorktown.In 1773, he married and crossed the mountains and settled at Wallers(?) Fort, in Washington County. Five sons and one daughter were born here, George,Thomas,John,Nancy,James,David. In 1796 they moved to Ohio County where twq more children, Lavinia and Arthur, were born. In 1800 they moved to Belmont County, Ohio. In 1802, Wilson Shannon was born, the first white child born in Warren township. George Shannon was Secretary of The Lewis & Clark Expedition. They brought back an indian chief and his wife to meet the President. George was commissioned to take the indians back, and on the way back, two tribes of indians were at war and George was shot in the leg. It had to be amputated. As soon as he recovered, he went to New York and assisted for a year in the publication of the accounts of the expedition .He returned to the west, Lexington,Kentucky, taught school, and finished his education. He studied law and was elected circuit judge. In 1821 he moved to Missouri and was sent to the state senate and later was appointed district United States attorney by President Andrew Jackson. He died in 1836. Thomas Shannon was elected to the general assembly in 1819, and re-elected in 1825. Elected to congress in 1826, state senator 1837-1841, died in1843. John Shannon remained at home and farmed, was known as a great hunter. Was the grandfather of Judge I.C. Parker (Judge Isaac Parker, the hanging Judge of Ft. Smith, Ark,). In the War of 1812, John was drafted in the first draft, served in Capt. Kirkwood's company. In the second draft he was elected Captain of Belmont County company, served in Capt Delong's regiment. John bought Robard's property and two years later, sold it to General Andrew Jackson. It adjoined the property later known as The Hermitage. Robards was Jackson's wife's first husband. James Shannon was a leading lawyer in Lexington, Kentucky. In 1832 was appointed Charge de Affaires to the Federation of Central America by General Andrew Jackson. Died in Central America of yellow fever. Was married to the daughter of Governor Shelby of Kentucky. David Shannon was a lawyer, went to Florida and became private secretary to General Andrew Jackson. He died shortly after this. Wilson Shannon--prosecuting attorney of Belmont County, 1832, governor of Ohio, 1838 & 1842,appointed minister to Mexico 1844. Elected to Congress, 1852, appointed Governor of Kansas Territory by President Pierce. Resigned in 1857. Resumed law practice, died in1877. Was the youngest governor Ohio ever had. John Shannon married Jane Milligan. A daughter Jane, married Joseph Parker. I.C. Parker was one of their sons. He had 3 brothers and 2 sisters. I.C. began law studies at the Barnesville Classical Institute. He alternated teaching and further study, reading law until he was 21. Then he went west, taking a packet down the Ohio River, then followed the Missouri up to St. Joseph, where he settled. Built a thriving law practice and was soon elected city attorney on the Union ticket. Married Mary O'toole. He rose from prosecuting attorney to circuit judge, then served 2 terms in congress, where he became an expert on the indian problem. Running for election to the senate, was defeated and asked President Grant for an appointment to a judgeship, and was made Judge of the U.S. District Court for Western Ark. The territory was as large as the combined size of Missouri and Connecticut. When broken up, was parcelled out to 72 judges. I.C. Parker had three children; I.C. Parker, Bailey Parker, James Parker. A brother of Judge I.C. Parker, Joseph was my maternal grandfather. (to be cont.)
