Their dr,eam was to go west to the Northwest Territory where opportunity seemed limitless. Leaving upper Ne~ ~ork State, where they had initially, but temporarily settled" they headed west, first by wagon and then by boat, eventually reaching the Ohio River where they continued their trek west. Theystopped to visit friends who had settl~d in Pittsburgh, Marietta and . Portsmouth, but each time decided to head further west where settlers sent back reports of greater opportunity. They stopped briefly also at Cincinnati and there le~rned about an even newer settlement 50 miles north, which was called Dayton, named after a general, Jonathan Dayton, who had led some of the original settlers into that area and then stayed to successfully fight off the Indians.

  • An 'Xtreme' Entrepreneur
    An ‘Xtreme’ Entrepreneur Billionaire and Vietnam War veteran Bob Parsons started his first business in 1984 and has since gone on to be involved with more than a dozen companies, crediting his success to his Marine Corps training Jan 17, 2019 Bob Parsons says he owes everything he has to the Marine Corps. Parsons, who served as a rifleman with Delta Co., 1st Bn., 26th Marines, attached to 1st Marine Div., in Quang Nam Province in 1969, said as a high school senior, he was failing most subjects. Then a couple friends invited him along when they spoke to a Marine Corps recruiter. “The guy was really intriguing, and he had us at, ‘Hello,’” said Parsons, CEO and founder of Parsons Xtreme Golf, a global golf equipment company. Before joining the Corps, Parsons said, he was not a good student. He failed fifth grade and said that “due to a fluke,” he didn’t have to repeat it. “I was able to go into the sixth grade with fourth-grade skills… and then every year, I barely got by,” Parsons said. He would go on to graduate from college with honors and make a name for himself in the world of entrepreneurship. But to get there, he first had to go to Vietnam. VIETNAM MEMORIES Parsons’ service in Vietnam earned him the Combat Action Ribbon, the Purple Heart and the Vietnam Cross of Gallantry, which was awarded to his entire unit. Parsons, a VFW member at-large with the Department of Arizona, earned the Purple Heart after walking through a trip wire and receiving “multiple shrapnel wounds” in both legs and his left elbow.
