    jamescobban.net says his middle name was Cander. There was a Roger Perkins, b. 1869 Derby, CT who married Betsy Candee. Is this where the name came from? But that Roger and Betsy died in 1834 in the US and jamescobban.net does not link our Perkins with this Roger and Betsy.

    Notes:

    the Caleb Perkins family stone at BSC includes an Abigail Brown, died 19 Feb 1882, age 80 [b.1802]; could this have been a sister of Caleb's?(perkinsresearch.com lists his siblings but Abigail is not one of the names) Her death record gives no indication of family connections and census records for 1851, 1861, 1871 and 1881are not much help; She may have been living with Levi & Jane Fletcher in 1871, but who are they??
