George Parkman
George Parkman (February 19, 1790November 23, 1849), a Boston Brahmin and a member of one of Boston's richest families, was a prominent physician, businessman, and philanthropist, as well the victim in the sensationally gruesome Parkman–Webster murder case, which shook Boston in 1849–1850.
==Family==
Samuel Parkman (August 22, 1751June 11, 1824) and Sarah Rogers had five children: Elizabeth (1785), Francis (1788), George (1790), Samuel (1791), and Daniel (1794). Samuel Parkman had also had six children by his previous marriage to Sarah Shaw.〔New England Historic Genealogical Society database. Birth Records of Boston, Massachusetts, 1800-1849.〕 Samuel Parkman, George’s father and family patriarch, had bought up low-lying lands and income properties in Boston’s West End.〔''The Fiend in the Cellar''; James and Lois Cowan; in prep. 2010〕 He also founded and was part owner of the towns of Parkman, Ohio and Parkman, Maine.〔Both towns are included in Roger Storm’s 1969 University of Maine thesis ''History of Parkman, Maine'' and in the Dec. 6, 1814 ''Parkman, Maine, A Frontier Settlement by Victor McKusick''---in the collection of the American Antiquarian Society in Worcester, Massachusetts.〕 His sons from his first marriage oversaw the Ohio properties, while his second set of boys were responsible for the Maine parcel. Samuel’s daughters inherited wealth as well. The most notable was George’s sister Elizabeth Willard Parkman, whose spouse Robert Gould Shaw (17761853), grandfather of Robert Gould Shaw (October 10, 1837July 18, 1863, Union Army colonel during the American Civil War), grew his wife’s share of the fortune to become the senior partner in the most powerful commercial house in a city glutted with the proceeds of the China Trade.〔According to the ''Descendants of the Rev. Daniel Rogers of Littleton, Mass.'' New England Historic and Genealogical Society Register. Vol. 39. David Clapp and Son, 1885, Robert Gould Shaw’s father and Sarah Shaw, Samuel Parkman’s first wife, were brother and sister. Therefore Elizabeth Parkman Shaw’s half-siblings were direct cousins to her husband.〕
The eleven Parkman scions united in marriage with the Beacon Hill families of Blake, Cabot, Mason, Sturgis, Tilden, and Tuckerman. Of his eleven offspring, Samuel chose George as the one to administer the Parkman estate.〔The 1850 pretrial deposition given by Charles Kingsley, business manager for George Parkman, to John Andrews would convey this picture of his boss’s personality.〕
