Doris, my husband descends from William Oliver (W. O.).W. O. married Faitha Cooper who is probably a sister to William Cooper.I have a picture of W. O. and Faitha.I bought a book on Perkins' of NH, Maine, Vermont and Connecticutt and think I was able to come within a generation of Oliver as there are several "Oliver" Perkins but dates don't match.It has been handed down in the Vernon Parish, LA Perkins' that Faitha's family disowned her because she married W. O. (an Indian).He was considered a very "mean" man and died under mysterious circumstances around 1913.
Do you have any information on Permelia? A last name?It is said she was Indian.We can't find either her's or Oliver's graves in any Cemetery and many think they are buried on their old home place.
My husband also descends on his maternal side from a Lucinda Perkins that married Riley Hillman.We have recently found information that points to her father being John Perkins.If that is so, then this Perkins line ties into MY Perkins line!
I descend from 2 seperate Perkins' lines. Olive Perkins that married Ephraim Sweat and Nancy Perkins (husband thought to be Moses Brown), daughter of James Perkins and Margarete Chandler.It is one of my goals in life to connect these four seperate Perkins families since they all settled in the same area ("No Mans Land" of West Central La) basically during the same period!Any information or help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Cheryl
