I would like to know how
Perkins County originated and the name selected. I have ancestors who migrated west through
Wisconsin from
Greig, Lewis, NY. Their name would be Edwin,
George,John, Orville, Dwight,Ernest, and
Levi Perkins. There might be others so any early information on
Perkins might be helpfull. This migration started before the Civil
War. Several enlisted from
Wisconsin. Lost track of them after that.
