Steven Perkins was buried in Louisvill Cemetery. He died in 1858. Was married to Sarah Sherrod from Jefferson County. Would like to hear from anyone with information on Steven Perkins or Sarah Sherrod Perkins.

Both parents must have died before 1870 because the boys were scattered across the county as farm hands.

Hi Carol,

Thanks for replying.

Stephen died in October 1858 and is buried in a Louisville, Georgia, cemetery but I cannot find anything on Sarah as far as date of death or place of burial.

I am trying to find out Stephen's parents. The census reports list him as being born in Chatham County but I cannot find anything to substantiate that.
