Ken,
I don't know, but I have to wonder if Perdia might have been a daughter of Hoel Ives and Lydia ______. Hoel (which I think to be a phonetic spelling of Howell) was living in Indiana in 1830. So says the census of 1830, at which time he was married and apparently had a female child under 5. He had several children, the oldest that I've been able to identify having been born about 1832 (and so unlikely to be the one counted in the 1830 census). But, again, the census says he was married by 1830, and Perdia could be that girl child who's living with him in the 1830 census.
There are also a couple problems with this theory, though. First is that you say Perdia's father was b. Ga, and mother b. PA. Hoel Ives was the son of Titus Howell Ives, and was pretty certainly born in NY, although by the 1820's the family had moved to Ohio. Titus was living in Montgomery County, OH in the 1830's.
Second problem is that Hoel Ives bought land in Randolph County, IN in 1830. On his land patent, he is identified as "Hoel Ives, of Montgomery County." Makes sense, given that his father was living in Montgomery County, OH in that year. But it sort of suggests (but obviously doesn't prove) that Hoel was a recent arrival in Indiana, being that he was "of Montgomery County" at the time his land patent was issued. So, my working assumption is that he got married in Ohio in the late 1820's, then moved to Ohio about 1830-ish, where he bought property and settled down. If so, and if your Perdia were the girl living with him in the 1830 census, she would more likely have been born in Ohio than Indiana.
But...there couldn't have been many Ives families in Indiana at the time, so you gotta wonder.
