Jacob W. Parrott
The thrifty and enterprising farming community of Whiting (Kansas) Jackson county acknowledges Mr. Parrott as one of it's most valued members. He makes his headquarters at a well-regulated farm, about a mile west of the town of Whiting, which was purchased by him in 1880, being then a quarter-section of raw land, over which a plowshare had never passed. By a course of unflagging industry and perseverance through many difficulties , it has been transformed into a valuable estate, all neatly enclosed with substantial fencing, and having upon it a fine frame dwelling, a story and a half in height, and in an area 25x36 feet. The main barn and other outbuildings indicate in a marked manner the progressive mind of the proprietor. Mr. Parrott made his permanent removal upon his farm on the first of May, 1880, he having purchased it prior to this.
The son of John and Mary (Copeland) Parrott, of Ohio, the subject of this sketch was born March 2, 1828, at his father's old homestead in Fayette county, Ohio. John Parrott, Jr., was the son of John and Elizabeth (Hall) Parrott, who removed form the vicinity of the French Broad River, in Tennessee, to the Buckeye State, as early as 1812.Their family consisted of six sons, viz: Thomas, Henry, Wesley, John, Samuel, George, and three daughters. To John Jr., and his excellent wife there were born three sons and five daughters, Jacob W. being the second son, and all are living. The father died at the old homestead in Fayette county, Ohio. This property is still in the family, owned by the elder brother, John A.
The subject of this sketch , when twenty one years old, was married in his native county, and became the father of three children. The mother of these died in the fall of 1857. Mr. Parrott in the spring of 1858 left Ohio, and going to Illinois, worked in Stark, Peoria, and other counties, and was married May 2, 1859, at Stapelton. The parents of Mrs. Parrott died in Iowa, when she was a small child. Mrs. Parrott was born in Logan county Illinois, to which she returned after the death of her parents, and where she met her future husband.
Mr. And Mrs. Parrott began their wedded life on the farm in Ohio, which Mr. Parrott had opened up from the wilderness in his younger days, living thereupon until April 1880. Of his first marriage there were born three children, the eldest of whom Joseph G. is is married, and the father of eight children; he lives on a farm north of Whiting; John A. is a resident of Ohio, lives on a farm in the neighborhood of the old homestead, and has one child; Mary J, the wife of J. F. Carder, and they live in the vicinity of Netawaka; they have three children. The nine children of the second marriage of our subject are recorded as follows....Three died in infancy and early childhood; Theodore F., who is married and the father of four children is a resident of Whiting; Ida May is the wife of I.W. Spencer (Isaac Wesley), a farmer of Nebraska, and they have two children, Rachel H. married L.C. the son of David Bender, a prominent citizen of Whiting township, and they live on a farm near Whiting; Thomas A., William E., and Albert J., are at the home with their parents. Mr. Parrott politically votes the straight Republican ticket, and in his school district officiates as Director and Road Supervisor.
During the progress of the Civil War Mr. Parrott served with the 100 days men in Company F.,168th Ohio national guards. The various regiments thus deployed, received from the President of the Untied States a card of thanks for valuable services at the battle of Cynthiana, Ky. June 11,1864. Upon this occasion a company of 100 men fought 3,000 of John Morgan's men, meeting them first in an open field. Being our numbered they had orders to fall back to some buildings in the town, and while on their retreat Mr. Parrott received a mini ball in the right hip from the effects of which he still suffers. He managed to extract the ball himself, after the doctors had unsuccessfully probed for it and could not locate it. As may be supposed, the brave Ohio boys were all captured, but the next morning the Union forces took the town again, and the wounded men fell into the hands of their friends, while the able bodied men were run off and paroled. Mr. Parrott receives a monthly pension from the government, but the sum ($4) is not by any means commensurate with the inconvenience and the suffering which he has endured.

ONE HUNDRED and SIXTY-EIGHTH INFANTRY
(One Hundred Days )
One Hundred and Sixty-eighth Infantry. - Col., Conrad Garis; Lieut.-Col., George W. Barrere; Maj., Emery C. Newton. This regiment was organized at Camp Dennison, from May 12 to 19, 1864, to serve for 100 days. It was composed of the 66th battalion, Ohio National Guard, from Highland county; 67th battalion, from Fayette county; and one company of the 35th battalion, from Clarke county. On June 9 it proceeded to Coving-
ton, Ky., and moved down the Covington & Lexington railroad. Co. B, with 20 men from Co. G, was detached at Falmouth to guard the railroad bridge, and at other points companies were stationed to protect the road. On June 10 a detachment of 300
occupied Cynthiana. At 6 o'clock on the morning of June 11 a large force of Confederate cavalry moved against the town, in which engagement the regiment lost 7 men killed, 18 wounded and 280 captured. That portion of the regiment under command of Maj. Newton remained in Kentucky until July 10, when it was ordered to Camp Dennison to join the paroled prisoners. It was then sent to Cincinnati, where it performed guard duty until mustered out on Sept. 8, 1864.

Battles Fought
Fought on 10 Jun 1864 at Cynthiana, KY.
Cynthiana, Ky., June 12, 1864. U.S. Troops under Brig. Gen. S. G. Burbridge. As an incident of the raid into Kentucky of the Confederate forces under Maj.-Gen. John H.
Morgan, Cynthiana was taken by the enemy on Saturday, June 11. Late that same night Gen. Burbridge with a force of 2,400 men moved out from Lexington. At 2:30 a.m. next day his advance under Maj. Tyler, of the 52nd Ky.; came up with the enemy's pickets some 2 miles from Cynthiana and drove them back upon their main line, which was held in check until the arrival of Burbridge with the main column. The troops were formed in
line of battle and advanced on the town, driving the Confederates from their first line of battle. An order to charge was then given and the enemy steadily driven, except on the flanks where stone walls so hindered the cavalry attack that it was necessary to send reinforcements. The enemy's retreat soon became a rout, and he was forced to release the
prisoners captured the day before. The Union loss was 150 killed and wounded, the Confederate casualties amounted to 300 killed and wounded and 400 captured.
