At the time I did not realize that WILLIAM PAYTON "PATE" PERKINS parents also lived in Pottawatomie County.

William Payton's father REUBIN PERKINS is buried in the Avoca Cemetery b. 1838 - 1906. His wife was MATILDA EDWARDS. I found some history info about Avoca that said R. Perkins opened the first general store.

I am interested in any info about the Perkins or White family that is in the Pottawatomie County History Book.
