His home plantation of 725 acres lay just south of, and partly within, the present corporate limits of Winchester. **When the new county of Frederick was erected in 1743 Isaac Parkins ecame very prominent in the conduct of its affairs. He served many years as a justice, a captain of militia, and a vestryman. He was elected to the House of Burgesses, representing Frederick County in the sessions of 1754 and 1755. He used his influence to ameliorate the sufferings of Friends caused by the laws governing those dissenting in religious opinions. ***After the settlement in 1749 in the Shenandoah Valley of Lord Fairfax, withwhom Isaac PErkins was on very friendly terms, he secured several additional grants of land in the Northern Neck, lying in the counties of Frederick and Hampshire. He maintained on his plantation a sawmill and two flour mills, probably the first erected in Frederick County. ** At this house took place the first marriage in the Shenandoah Valley of Friends. ***** Meetings for worship were frequently held in his house and were continued there after his death by his son Isaac Parkins, Jr. The graveyard adjoining Center Meeting was deeded to Hopewell Monthly Meeting as a gift from Isaac Parkins, Jr. The house of Isaac Sr. passed through marriage and purchase to Isaac Hollingsworth who married his granddaughter, Hannah Parkins, and who erected in 1836 on the site of the old home, the present brick mansion. Isaac buiolt nearby a four story stone flour mill. *** On this same tract, about one-half mile east of the mansion house is the burying ground of the Parkins and Hollingsworth families.
