Spanish-American War veteran. Surgeon of the Colorado First Volunteer Regiment that saw duty in the Philippines. Married Sarah Effie Brown, also of Fayette County, Pennsylvania. Two children, Clayton, Jr. and Forbes.

In 1894, Dr. Parkhill first described something similar to the type of external fixation device that is in use today. An external fixation device is deliberately implanted into the full diameter of the bone in order to reduce any projecting piece of bone that threatens the overlying skin when treating broken bones.
