I know of at least two Rebecca McClains and perhaps more but I think they may have been confused. The John Perkins in Indiana doesn't seem to match ours who we do have Bible Records on. Rebecca Perkins gravestone is in the Rumble Cemetery in Washington County back in a field. For some years the family thought it was an unmarked grave, but the broken stone was repaired and is back in place. I have a photo of the actual gravestone with the 13 September 1865 death date on it so I am sure of the date. It was also listed in the WPA records where I got the birth date. The dates you have may be correct but for a different Rebecca. I did find John Perkins and Rebecca McClains marriage record in Kentucky with her mother's name listed as Catherine McClain, widow. I am fuzzy on the Indiana history but we have pretty thoroughly researched Kentucky and Iowa. My grandmother had some info and a couple distant cousins had a bit more. Our only verification of her father was John McClain's estate settlement in 1804, which lists his wife as Catherine and children James and Rebecca. However, other McClains had Rebeccas as well.... The Rebecca McClain Perkins that I have was married in 1823 so I believe your Rebecca is a younger Rebecca. Is she the daughter of William McClain and Rebecca Hoagland.

Hi Norma: John and Catherine had 10 possible children. Rebecca, Mary [my GGGGgrandmother], and William McClane below [all proven thru marriage records] were three of them. I do have the names of all the children if you are interested. Rebecca married John Perkins, Mary married James Hogland in Henry County, and William married James' sister, Rebecca Hogland. I have been researching their family history and I know the McClain's and Hogland's emigrated to Indiana about the same time. According to Sulgrove's history, the McClain's and Perkins were very instrumental in starting the Mt. Zion Cemetery and the Mt. Zion ME Church. The Mt. Zion Cemetery is where James and Mary McClain Hogland are buried. John and Rebecca may have moved on, this I have no knowledge of, and the only information I have on their burial was the tombstone readings for Franklin Township. Rebecca J. was born May 6, 1796, in Mercer County, Kentucky, and married John Perkins on February 15, 1823, in Henry County, Kentucky. ********************** Per Don Marsh's records REBECCA McCLAIN. b. 1793/4 Mercer County, Kentucky. m. JOHN PERKINS 15 February 1823 Henry County, Kentucky. Marriage license contains consent for "my daughter REBECCA McCLAIN and JOHN PERKINS", signed by CATHERINE, witnessed by JAMES HOGLAND [Mary's husband] and GEORGE McCLAIN. Additionally, in early Marion County, Indiana, Mt. Zion Church was a joint venture of the McCLAIN and PERKINS families and other members of this McCLAIN family moved to Marion County. Died 13 September, 1846, Franklin Twp., Marion County, Indiana. *********************** My Mary was born October 11, 1782, in Mercer County, Kentucky, and married James Hogland on August 22, 1809, in Henry County, Kentucky. She died on August 14, 1863, and is buried in Mt. Zion Cemetery, in Franklin Twp. William and Rebecca Hogland McClane's daughter, Rebecca, married James and Mary McClain Hogland's son, John on October 11, 1844, in Marion County. There was a lot of intermarrying between the Hogland and McClain families. Don Marsh spent years researching the McClain family and had the web page called the McClain Exchange where he was researching all lines of the McClain's. He had the most extensive collection I have seen. If you would like to exchange information, please let me know.

Hi Nancy: I know this is a poor time to get involved in a thread like this right before Christmas but my mind is going in circles trying to figure out why we have two burial sites for Rebecca McClain Perkins. Are the stones still there at the Acton Cemetery that we could get a photo of them? Or do you live some distance away from that county? They appear to be the same Rebecca although there is a slight discrepancy in the dates. It may just be a coincidence that they both died on 13 Sept. I can't discount our Bible records. I am sure there are two ladies buried but I am questioning which one is really the daughter of John and Catharine. We do know the marriage record is our Rebecca although they had the name spelled McLain in the Bible. John and Rebecca had a son John William McClain Perkins b.21 Aug 1837. I received a copy of the Perkins family Bible records from the family who had the Bible. They had interpreted Katherine Driskell's name as Duskin from the old handwriting, but that is not how the marriage records have it. Rebecca McClain Perkins birth date was calculated from her age at time of death 69 y. 4m. 8 d. They seem to be the same person but it doesn't quite fly. The Bible records were augmented from a hired genealogist's research in the Kentucky area. I have a photo of Rebecca's stone and her little granddaughter's on the Washington Co., Iowa GenWeb site at http://www.rootsweb.com/~iawashin/cemrumb.htm Second row of photos John Perkins was a rather wealthy man for the times and owned quite a little land in Washington County. Iowa didn't become a State until 1838 so there weren't many settlers here until 1849-50. His second wife is buried at Pleasant Hill Cemetery. Both cemeteries are in Marion Twp. The thought runs in my mind that Don Marsh didn't know about the Iowa family and tried to match up another John Perkins with the ones in Indiana. I am sure they are related but not just how. We do know cousins frequently married in that era. Descendants of Joseph M. Perkins Generation No. 1 1. Joseph M.2 Perkins (John1) was born 13 Oct 1776, and died 23 Mar 1843 in Marion, IN, USA.
