3. | Caleb Perkins* (1.Roger1) was born in 1815; died on 13 Sep 1886. 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??

a Blacksmith

13. | Levi Perkins* (3.Caleb2, 1.Roger1) was born in 1846; died on 15 Mar 1901. Notes:
if the OGS record for BSC is correct, Levi was 13 when he fathered Charles!
jamescobban.net says he died at the London Insane Asylum, COD Exhaustion of Melancholia and that he is buried at BSC [we have no stone for him]
OGS says his wife was Amy and they had a son Charles
jamescobban.net makes no mention of Amy but gives Catherine Aurilla Jarvis as the wife and they had 3 children. I have listed her as a second spouse.
Levi married Amy ?. [Group Sheet]
Levi married Catherine Aurilla Jarvis about 1882. [Group Sheet]

16. | Abigail Perkins (3.Caleb2, 1.Roger1) was born in 1856; died in Sep 1890 in Stockton, California. Notes:
The Toronto Daily Mail, Sept 8, 1890 reports the death of Mrs. A. Comfort, formerly of Westminster township, daughter of the late Caleb Perkins, in Stockton, California, age 34; it is assumed this is Abigail
However, jamescobban. net says Abigail married William Crawford and sites Marriage Register, CA, Ontario. It also says she is buried at BSC and sites 1871 Census of Canada, page: dist 9 Middlesex West, subdist A. Westminster, div 2 page 73
Is she buried at BSC??
Abigail married ? Comfort. [Group Sheet]

18. | Freeman C. Perkins* (3.Caleb2, 1.Roger1) was born in 1861; died in 1929. Notes:
Perkins/Gardner/Brown
-a livery stable keeper
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.
Freeman married Mary McDonnell* on 17 Nov 1886 in Lambeth, Ont.. Mary (daughter of Peter McDonnell and Ellen Griffith*) was born in 1863; died in 1942. [Group Sheet]

Generation: 4
22. | Sarah MALINDA Perkins (4.Curtis3, 2.Harris2, 1.Roger1) was born in 1866. Notes:
1871 census: Sarah M. Perkins
1881 census: Malinda Perkins
1887 marriage record: Melinda Perkins
1891 census: Melinda Mote
1901 census:
1911 census:
1911 birth record for Matthew Wilbert Ernest Mote: Sarah Melinda Perkins
1913 marriage record for William Mote: Melinda Perkins
It appears that Sarah M. Perkins (b. c1867) and Malinda Perkins (b. c1866) are the same person.
Sarah married Matthew Mote on 30 May 1887. Matthew was born in 1862. [Group Sheet]

27. | Royal Perkins (4.Curtis3, 2.Harris2, 1.Roger1) was born on 12 Feb 1882. Notes:

|
35. | Glen Perkins (18.Freeman3, 3.Caleb2, 1.Roger1) was born in 1898; died in 1898. Notes:
The Perkins/Gardner/Brown stone basically has Caleb's family and his son Freeman's family on it; the 1898 date suggests that Glen was a son of Freeman but so far we haven't seen the paper proof of that.
