General Parker was a native of Massachusetts. He came to this city before the commencement of the late war, to fill the responsible post of Chief Clerk of the War Department. From this arduous office, in the times in which he filled it, and where his signal services and extensive capacity for business were justly appreciated by the administration of the excellent Madison, Gen. P. was transferred to the office of Adjutant and Inspector General of the Army, with the rank of Brigadier General, which he held to the year 1821. In late years he was again in the chief clerkship of the Department of War. In every public office he was distinguished by exemplary devotion to official duty. In his last painful illness he possessed all his faculties to the end, and met death with a fortitude and resignation to which human nature, however sustained by courage and piety, is rarely equal".]
