Re: Perkins of Maine

Hi: Just began research on Perkins of Maine. I believe my great-grandfather was born in Damariscotta, Maine in the early 1800's. His son (my grandfather Courtney Everett Perkins) was born in Gloucester, Mass. A note in my mother's (deceased)bible shows names of Vincent and Seth Daniel - supposedly died at sea - I believe they must have been fisherman. Maybe this info will be of some help - as I said, I'm just starting out - all new to me!!

maggie06 — 2009-10-11 18:10:44Z

Hello,

I have a great great grandpa named James Wiley Perkins and his wife was named Tacey (Beard) Perkins.

James Wiley and/or Wiley was a name that seems to be handed down in the Perkins family, so it's possible that your James Wiley and my James Wiley may be related; although I don't believe they are one in the same.

My great-grandpa Caleb Perkins (James Wiley and Tacey's son) eventually settled in Woodbine, KY (Whitley Co.), but his family was originally from Harlan County. (It would be interesting to find out as we research our families if these two James Wiley Perkins are related.)

I would suggest going to this link to see a picture of your James Wiley Perkins and Matilda Elizabeth Bridges Browning:

http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~kyknox/Family-Photos/Perki...

I also believe this may be the death record for Matilda... I'm not sure if my search results will copy over, but go to this link and do a search for last name Perkins, 1st name Matilda, Knox for the county...

http://vitals.rootsweb.ancestry.com/ky/death/search.cgi

There's also a death record coming up for a James W Perkins in Whitley County..but I don't know if that's the right James W for you. This seems to be a pretty common name for back then, so it makes it a bit harder to search.

I have a question for you too...do you happen to ever go past the Whetstone Cemetery in Rockholds? I was trying to find if there are any pictures of it online. Several of my Perkins family members are buried there, including my great-grandparents Caleb and Myrtle Perkins (great-aunts/great-uncles too).

I did have a great-aunt Tildy, but I believe her actual name was Tilda. She was related by marriage.

There also some records for James Wiley Perkins and Matilda Elizabeth Browning on Roots Web.

http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&d...

I do notice that this James Wiley was born in Jellico, TN...very interesting as I also have family from there, but on a different side. Note that the burial location for Matilda is available at this link. Children's names (although doesn't appear complete) also available here too.

Feel free to keep in touch with me.

Re: Samuel John Perkins ~1860-?

marjunow — 2009-09-15 19:33:11Z

I do not know much about the Perkins in my background.
A Samuel John Perkins married Sarah Elizabeth Ridler in Middlesex Co. in Nov. 1884. They had a daughter Minnie Perkinds born in January 1885 in London West, Ontario. I have been told that they had a second daughter who was named Ada and raised by someone else and went by the last name of Fisher.

The marriage register of Samuel John and Sarah Ridler states that his parents were Samuel and Mary. Sarah's parents were George Ridler and Rebecca Pearson.

They separated after Ada was born, or maybe even before she was bor; she remarried and moved to Bay City, MI. I have not been able to find trace of Samuel John since then. My aunts said that their mother, Minnie Perkins, never spoke about her father. At age 5 she was living with a family in 1891 in Mayo Co. I would like to know more about this person. I do not know of the Perkin(s) names you mention.

Please share information you find about Samuel John. He was supposed to have been of English extraction. June

Hi

My grandfather was Eugene Thompson Perkins. He married my grandmother Ida Clark. They lived in Kennebunkport Maine. I am trying to do research on that side of my family. I have some information from 1796 until 1847 then ther is a gap of about 70 years and then I picked up the trail again.

I know there is an Abner, several Daniels and several Isaac in the family. I just have a little information on each one though.

If anyone can help me it would be very much appriciated.

Thanks

Re: Samuel John Perkins ~1860-?

I do not know if I have a Samuel John Perkins in my family but I do have a Sarah. My Sarah was born to Daniel and Eunice Perkins but Daniel or Eunice could be related because Eunice was Daniel's second wife.

I have just started my research on my grandparents side and just found out my grandfather had been married before and I am trying to find that side of the family because I do know he had atleast one daughter with the first union named Beatrice.

If you find out any other information please let me know.

Thanks

This man is the brother of my GG grandmother I know he exists because he is a witness on family marriage and death certificates but I can find no official record of him. He was born about 1857 in Liverpool UK, his father was John Perkins and his mother Mary Ann Hayes. He is possibly a sailor as he was in Australia in the late 1870's, early 1880's. It is also possible that he migrated to America as family history mentions relatives in the US. Any suggestions/help would be much appreciated

Do you by any chance have an Edward V. Perkins, born in New Hampshire in 1810 in your tree? He married a Sophia and eventually died in Maine in the mid 1880's.
Thanks so much!

Perkins of Poplar Bluff, Missouri

disasterdude78 — 2009-10-01 05:10:27Z

I am the great-grandson of Leroy A. Perkins born Mar 16, 1894 in Poplar Bluff, Butler County, Missouri. His father was Robert J. Perkins and his mother appears to have been Miranda (Timmons) Perkins.

There were siblings as well, Nelson and Pearl....maybe more...I am unsure.

Robert J. Perkins appears to have been born in Missouri and may have had a father by the name of Leroy.

Miranda appears to have been born in Indiana.

These Perkins appear to have moved to the Los Angeles/Southern California area sometime after 1900.

I know that Leroy A. Perkins passed away in the Sacramento area in 1971.

Would anyone happen to know anything about these people?

Thanks,

Brad
