Vian Family Genealogy Forum
  
Dear Janice, I thank you for your input. I am a direct decendant of William (known as "Billy" in my family tradition) and Jane Perkins as well. Here's how: Rebecca Vian (5/14/1831 - 1924) was my great great grandmother. (My father remembered her well as a boy. She was a tough old lady who fell chasing a chicken and as a result of her fall developed gangrene and died at a ripe old age. My dad was 23 at the time and recalled the event often to me.) Rebecca married L. Theodore Ehl (1827-1907) who was from Frankfurt, Germany. They had 4 children: Ed Ehl, Lily Belle, Jennie, Ehl and Sarah Ellen (my great grandmother whom I knew well as a boy) She married Jacob Cross my great grandfather. Our family moved up to Michigan from Ohio/Indiana at the turn of the century.
