Hi Norma: Rebecca McClain Perkins is the sister of my GGGGrandmother, Mary McClain Hogland. Rebecca died on September 13, 1846, Franklin Township, Marion County, Indiana. The Hogland's, McClains, and Perkins were in Franklin and Perry Townships by 1823 and were very instrumental in settling the area. Most of the McClains and Hoglands are buried in Mt. Zion Cemetery and Acton Cemetery in Franklin Township. I found both Rebecca and John in the cemetery readings for Acton Cemetery. I think there may have been a mistake as to how the data was entered in the software. It shows John W. Perkins DOB as Dec 4, 1853. which is probably his date of death. Rebecca is shown as Rebecca J. Perkins DOB Sept 13, 1841 and I show her date of death as September 13, 1846. They are also listed on familysearch.org. I hope this is of some help to you.

Walter McCorkle b. 04 Apr 1821 d. 16 Nov 1852 m. 25 Apr. 1843 to Catherine Perkins in Hendricks Co., Indiana. However their two oldest children were born in Marion Co., Indiana. Catherine was born 03 Jan 1825 in New Castle, Henry Co., Kentucky She died 14 Oct 1875 in Washington Co., Iowa. Both are buried in the Rumble Cemetery, Washington County, Iowa. Their children were Joseph Hillis b.19 March 1845, Nancy Jane b.1 Aug. 1848 d. 17 March 1852 in Washington County, Iowa, Rebecca Ann b. 21 Apr 1852 Daviess Co., Indiana d.2 Jul 1933 in Washington County, Iowa Catherine Perkins was the daughter of John Perkins and Rebecca McClain b.06 May 1796 Mercer Co., Ky d. 13 Sep 1865. Rebecca McClain Perkins is buried beside her daughter Catherine and her first husband Walter McCorkle. I have been to the gravesite and photographed her gravestone. However, some GedComs report that John Perkins and Rebecca McClain are buried in the Acton Cemetery in Marion Co., Indiana. We have not found John Perkins gravestone but they were in Washington County at the time of their deaths. They had moved to Iowa by 1852. Walter and Catherine McCorkle are in the 1852 State census. John Perkins remarried to Mary Meeker in 1866, a few months after his first wife's death. Is there someone in the Marion Co. area that can verify if there is an actual gravestone for Rebecca McClain Perkins in Acton Cemetery? I suspect it is just an assumption by someone that they are buried there if other family members lived there. The parents of Walter McCorkle are unknown but he named his only son was named Joseph Hillis McCorkle which implies that they may have been related to the Hillis family. Any further information on the McCorkles are appreciated. They are not in the book that Lewis McCorkle firat published "Viking Glory". He did include my information in his second book so I have that information. I believe that he is descended from John McCorkle and Elizabeth Hillis but cannot determine where he fits in.
