!BIOGRAPHY: According to the Suffolk County Deeds, Book 1, page 78, William Page with his wife Anne, took John, son of George Parkhurst, Jr. to bring up in 1646 after his father returned to England. John spent his entire adult life in Watertown, MA. His name is on the "return" of men eligible for military service during King Phillip's War in 1675. For his service, his son John received a land grant 58 years later. At the annual town meeting held on 4 November 1678, he was chosen one of the two hogreeves for the coming year. [Hogreeves are responsible for preventing or appraising damage by stray swine. The next year he was again appointed, but with the added responsibility of regulation of fences. John was Watertown selectman in 1694 and 1695. No grave stone has been found for John or his wife Abigail.
