Generation: 1

  1. 1.  Caleb PERKINS* 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??
    -1852 census: Caleb Perkins, 37, living with wife Ann, 2 sons, 2 daughters, widowed father, brother Harris's family; b. USA

  2. 3.  Levi PERKINS* Descendancy chart to this point (1.Caleb1) 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.

    Family/Spouse: Amy ?. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

  5. 6.  Abigail PERKINS Descendancy chart to this point (1.Caleb1) was born in 1856; died in Sep 1890 in Stockton, San Joaquin, California, USA.

    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??

    Family/Spouse: ? COMFORT. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]


  6. 7.  Caleb Francis PERKINS Descendancy chart to this point (1.Caleb1) was born in 1859.

    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] [Family Chart]

    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.
