The volumes deal primarily with the early history of the Ohio Valley from 1787-1847 and with natural history and geology. The three volumes of meteorological records, part of the data from Dr. Hildreth's 40 years of weather observation, are unique for than time. Of unusual interest are his journals of disease, 1831-1854. Some of the material is included in two of his publications, Pioneer History, published in 1848, and Biographical and Historical Memoirs of the Early Pioneer Settlers of Ohio, published in 1852. Also included are books from Dr. Hildreth's own library. <A HREF="http://www.marietta.edu/~library/guide/spc.html#hildreth">Special Collections Department</A> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Samuel Prescott Hildreth, The American Philosophical Society Letters of Samuel Prescott Hildreth held at the American Philosophical Societh as follows (website end of report) 1296. HILDRETH, SAMUEL PRESCOTT. Letter to Samuel G. Morton [Feb. 12, 1833]. A.L.S. 2p. Hildreth wants a skeleton and a young anatomical specimen (cadaver?). He has sent skulls, evidently, for he promises another cranium found in an Ohio river bank, and hopes to get some others from Illinois. 1297. HILDRETH, SAMUEL PRESCOTT. Letter to Samuel G. Morton [June 20, 1833]. A.L.S. 2p. Hildreth has secured 2 skulls from mounds 105 miles above St. Louis, on the Mississippi River. Has 2 more, one from the banks of the Ohio, one from a sandstone cave. More promised from Illinois and western Ohio. "So you see we shall not lack heads, if we are deficient in bodies...." 1298. HILDRETH, SAMUEL PRESCOTT. Letter to Samuel G. Morton [March 5, 1834]. A.L.S. 1p. Has sent 5 crania (probably those mentioned in earlier letter). 1299. HILDRETH, SAMUEL PRESCOTT. Letter to Samuel G. Morton [March 20, 1835]. A.L.S. 3p. Trustees of Marietta College will not permit the Otahitean (Tahitian?) cranium to leave Marietta, for, like the Roman Catholic Church and bits of the true cross, the owner of the skull believes it will quicken the spirits of future missionaries to the heathen. Hildreth, going north in Ohio shortly, will look for American Indian skulls in ancient mounds. 1300. HILDRETH, SAMUEL PRESCOTT. Letter to Samuel G. Morton [Dec. 29, 1835]. A.L.S. 4p. He has sent MS. of Visit to ... Cuyahoga to Morton. The Indian skulls have got as far as Pittsburgh. 1301. HILDRETH, SAMUEL PRESCOTT. Letter to Samuel G. Morton [Aug. 25, 1836]. A.L.S. 3p. Hildreth says that Dr. John C. Warren of Boston visited; claimed the Ohio region was originally populated by Peruvians and/or Mexicans. A skull found in Meigs County, Ohio, now in the Boston Athenaeum, proves to be identical with the Peruvian temple skulls owned by Warren. Hildreth trying to get skulls from Newark, from the old burying ground on the Muskingum near Coshocton, to send to Morton. 1302. HILDRETH, SAMUEL PRESCOTT. Letter to Samuel G. Morton [Feb. 9, 1837]. A.L.S. 3p. Hildreth has promise of a fine skull. 1303. HILDRETH, SAMUEL PRESCOTT. Letter to Samuel G. Morton [March 3, 1838]. A.L.S. 1p.

BURKE COUNTY, NC - BIOGRAPHIES - Early Settlers of Burke County, Part 2 The PERKINS FAMILY of Johns River, descended from a native of England, who came to the Colonies in 1732. Landing in Pennsylvania, he removed to Lincoln County, North Carolina (then Tryon), founded in 1779. By way of pre-eminence, he was known as "Gentleman John Perkins." Reference the above, I have seen this before. Although partly correct, Gentleman John Perkins was actually born about 1732 in Baltimore (now Harford) County, MD to Elisha Perkins and Margaret Sherrill. Elisha was born June 9, 1697 "at the head of Swan Creek" in Baltimore County, MD to Richard Perkins and his wife Mary. Richard was said to be from Plymouth England, but this has not been proven. The first record we have of him is in Baltimore County, MD in 1683. Margaret Sherrill was the daughter of William Sherrill and sister of Adam Sherrill. William is known as the Conestoga Fur Trader, and settled first in Maryland, moving on to Pennsylvania and then Virginia. The Perkins and Sherrill families moved down to North Carolina together, with Adam Sherrill being the first, permanent white settler on the west bank of the Catawba River in North Carolina. Like Gentleman John Perkins, he left a large number of descendants there, and the community of Sherrill's Ford, which was named for him. Kathy

BURKE COUNTY, NC - BIOGRAPHIES - Early Settlers of Burke County, Part 2 The PERKINS FAMILY of Johns River, descended from a native of England, who came to the Colonies in 1732. Landing in Pennsylvania, he removed to Lincoln County, North Carolina (then Tryon), founded in 1779. By way of pre-eminence, he was known as "Gentleman John Perkins." Accompanying an exploring party led by a Moravian Bishop (from Salem, now Stokes County, the "United Brethren" having built a church there in 1763), before any grants had been issued for the rich alluvial lands of John's River and Lower Creek, which were then still untilled and unoccupied. Availing himself of this fact, he obtained grants from the State for large bodies of the best land in Western North Carolina, devising the same to his six sons, EPHRAIM PERKINS, JOSEPH PERKINS, JOHN PERKINS, ALEXANDER PERKINS, ELI PERKINS and ELISHA PERKINS, and a daughter, MARY PERKINS, whose offspring still own and live on them. (in 1894). The broad lowlands, having been cultivated in the various cereals for more than a century, without the use of fertilizers, show but little, if any, loss from the original productiveness. The name John's River was derived from "Gentleman John", perpetuating his name as long as the river flows the limpid water of this beautiful stream, from it's source near the eastern base of Grandfather Mountain, (said by distinguished geologists to be the oldest, visible, earthly formation as yet discovered.) (in 1894) JOSEPH PERKINS married MELISSA LAVENDER, a niece of Mrs. AVERY and protege of Col. WAIGHTSTILL AVERY, SR. She was of French descent, probably Huguenot. (the name La'Vender has possibly been anglicized FROM LA'VENDEE, a maritime department in the west of France), by whom JOSEPH had three sons, Dr. JAMES HERVEY PERKINS OSBORNE PERKINS, and WILLIAM PERKINS; and five daughters, ELIZABETH who married ALLEN CONNELLY, MYRA, who married DAVID CORPENING. LEAH married WILLIAM LOCKE BAIRD and SALENA, wife of LEVI LAXTON. JAMES HERVY and WILLIAM died unmarried. JOHN PERKINS, JR. married NANCY ABERNETHY, who was a niece of the wife of General PETER FORNEY of Lincoln County, a soldier of the Revolution. The maiden name of his (Peter Forney's) wife was also NANCY ABERNETHY, Mrs. PERKINS being probably her name-sake. Mr. PERKINS died, leaving but one child, SUSAN PERKINS, heiress to a large fortune in land and slaves. She married R.V. MICHAUX , a lawyer, who came to Burke in 1834 from Virginia. He was a relative of the distinguished North Carolinian, NATHANIEL MACON. "ALEXANDER PERKINS married a Miss REBECCA MOORE (a connection of Dr. BOUCHELLE). By her he had three children, two sons, THEODORE PERKINS and THADDEUS PERKINS, and a daughter, CLARISSA PERKINS. The only surviving member of this branch of the PERKINS family is THADDEUS, JR. and his family, who are the sole owners of the splendid domain on Wilson's Creek and John's River. ALEXANDER and his brother JOHN were the first to introduce horses of good pedigree and blood in Burke County, breeding from celebrated stock in Virginia, belonging to WILLIAM AMIS and Col. JOHNSON. They took great pains in training them, and delighted in showing their superiority in fleetness and bottom at long distances on the Quaker Meadows and other race courses, over the scrubs of the country." "ELISHA PERKINS, the eldest son of "Gentleman John" inherited from his father the fine alluvial lowlands on the west side of John's River, about three miles from it's mouth. He died at an early age, leaving a widow and two sons, ALFRED and JOHN, also three aughters. The widow married Major HIGHLAND who had distinguished himself during the war of the Revolution, in battles fought against the British and Tories, and was wounded at the Battle of Ramsour's Mill." "ALFRED PERKINS, a man highly esteemed for his probity, was a leading elder in the Presbyterian church. His death in the meridian of life was deeply regretted by all who knew him. He, like all the older members of the PERKINS family, was of the bone and sinew of the land. He married MARY, the youngest daughter of ROBERT CALDWELL, SR., leaving at his death, three children, ELISHA ALEXANDER PERKINS, ROBERT C. PERKINS, and JANE ELIZABETH PERKINS. Alexander reminds me very much of his father in character, form and face." "So near approach we their celestial kind, By justice, truth, add probity of mind." Note: The PERKINS family history gives the following ten children: ELISHA 1760, MARY 1762, EPHRAIM 1764, JOHN 1767, JOSEPH 1768, ALEXANDER 1774, ELI 1766, BURWELL 1771, SARAH 1776, and ANN 1780 WAYNE CO.

Hi Listers, I have a query about my gr gr grandfather Jesse Perkins b 1783 on Moon Creek, Caswell Co N C. His wife was Nancy who put on one census that she was born in Va. Nancy was born 1791 according to the census. I need her maiden name. I have these children but believe there could be more: 1. Marivery Perkins mar Gobel Close 8 Dec 1827 Green Co Ky. 2. Moroney/Manoney Perkins mar Gabriel Close 8 Dec 1827 Green Co Ky 3. Malinda Perkins mar Royal Noe 10 Dec 1829 Green Co Ky 4. Elam Perkins b. 25 Feb 1808 N C. died 28 Aug 1877 Gr Co Ky, mar Milly Milby 9 Aug 1828 Gr Co Ky. 5. Jesse P Perkins b. 5 June 1830 died 21 May 1915 mar (1) Harriet Ann Milby 16 July 1851 Gr Co Ky. Daughter of James Milby and Rhoda Benningfield. Div. One child Rhoda Perkins mar (2) Sarah "Weaver" Druen 1854 Gr Co Ky. 8 children. 6. Richard Perkins b Gr Co Ky ________________________________________________________ I have seen the mother's name written Dosson/Dawson and Dobson. Since Jesse Perkins Sr had a sister who married a Dobson I have wondered if it might be Dobson. Other siblings had the spouse's names on the will of James Perkins (adm Judith Whitlow Perkins). Does any one have additional material about the family while they lived in North Carolina? (I have a will) One more bit of information about the Green Co Ky families. After James and Judith Perkins came to Green Co Ky some of their children put on the census that they were born in N C. In fact Martha "Patsy" Morgan and her brother Henry Perkins were born in Goochland Co Va and are both on the Rev William Douglas church baptism record. This same brother and sister lived in Harrison Co In (1830 census) before returning to Green Co Ky before the Civil War. If you read the 1850 and 1860 census you will find their children and grandchildren as being born in Indiana. The Jesse Perkins, Henry Perkins, and Patsy Perkins Morgan families lived adjoining house holds on the census. This was on Brushy Creek, address Greensburg Ky. The last census that I found had them living in a different community, Summerville and Allendale, a short distance from Greensburg. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. Wanda Perkins Stepp

Jackie, I believe that census is a Head of Household only census. They will only have the others listed by age grouping and sex, no names. Mary jane would first be named in the 1850 census.

Hi all - I'm looking for information on a J.W. Perkins and Aaron P. Perkins, possibly brothers. Aaron P. Perkins was born Jan 21, 1872, the son of William Perkins and Rebecca Cisco Perkins. He died in the John Sealy Hospital in Galveston on Feb 13, 1956 and was buried in Alum Creek Cemetery in Bastrop, Bastrop Co., Tx. Both of these men were married to my g-grandmother, Ellen Jane Walters. The marriage to J.W. Perkins was in Austin, and the marriage to Aaron P. was probably in Bastrop. Some of the children were: Archie Perkins b. 1879 Ira Lee Perkins b. 1881 Jessie (Major) Perkins William (Willie or Pete) Perkins daughters Willie Ethel and Iva June (both married Courts men) Aaron Eal Perkins b. May 30, 1898 d. Apr 23, 1969 m. Myrtle Annie Critendon daughter Wilma Jewell, b. Oct 29, 1922, m. Bryson Edward French sons Bryson Jr & Darwin (not sure of this name) son Major Vinson, b. Jul 4, 1925 My g-grandmother Ellen Jane also married a Clardy and David C. Williams, so the Perkins children would have had the following step-siblings (that I know of so far): Earl Clardy Georgia Williams Ernest David Williams Thanks!

Was looking at the list of muster of troops for the Revolution from Maryland and came across a couple of Perkins names. Enlisted Feb 3 - private Thomas Perkins- 2nd Company Enlisted Jane 30 - Joseph Pirkens - 6th Company Captain Isaac Perkins - Kent County July 1776 There are other details you can look up at the web site: <www.mdarchives.state.md.us> These names were in Vol. 18, and began on page 8. There are at least 160 pages so it will take time to sift through. Pat

Sorry, My fingers "got lost". Here is the correct URL http://www.ost.doi.gov/whereabouts.html

This website contains a list of names of people who have money in this special trust fund. The government calls this the "Whereabouts Unknown" site because it does not know the whereabouts of these individuals. Be aware that these are Native American-related in some way, but who knows which of our ancestors had a child who married into an Indian tribe, and thus their descendants would qualify. The web site is: http://www,ost.coi.gov/whereabouts.html

This is from a lister on another list, interesting. ****************** As people interested in genealogy, I thought you would find this interesting. I didn't know this before I read the information below. The Learning Kingdom's Cool Word of the Day for December 21, 2000 - -------------------------------------------------------------------- pedigree [n. PED-ih-gree] ------------------------------------------------------------------ In human genetics pedigree is used to trace the inheritance of specific traits. However, the word pedigree is most often used in the context of animals. It is a genealogical record that shows the purity or a breed. Example: "The breeder told us the horse's pedigree as part of his sales pitch." Pedigree is also your family tree, the line of ancestors that have preceded you. Near synonyms include lineage, breed, blood, and ancestry. Pedigree is a variation on the late Middle English word pedegru, which was derived from the similar sounding French phrase for foot of a crane (pie de grue). The three splayed out toes on the crane's foot were thought to be a good way to describe the appearance of the lines on a genealogical chart. <<<<< Bill

Wishing everyone a safe and very happy Holiday season. This was sent to me from a fellow family searcher in Nova Scotia. Enjoy. ************** I don't know if this is true or that someone is really clever...maybe we could ask The Three Wise Men. What in the world do leaping lords, French hens, swimming swans, and especially the partridge who won't come out of the pear tree have to do with Christmas? >From 1558 until 1829, Roman Catholics in England were not permitted to practice their faith openly. Someone during that era wrote this carol as a catechism song for young Catholics. It has two levels of meaning: the surface meaning plus a hidden meaning known only to members of their church. Each element in the carol has a code word for a religious reality which the children could remember. The partridge in a pear tree was Jesus Christ. Two turtle doves were the Old and New Testaments Three French hens stood for faith, hope and love. The four calling birds were the four gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke & John. The five golden rings recalled the Torah or Law, the first five books of the Old Testament. The six geese a-laying stood for the six days of creation. Seven swans a-swimming represented the sevenfold gifts of the Holy Spirit--Prophesy, Serving, Teaching, Exhortation, Contribution, Leadership, and Mercy. The eight maids a-milking were the eight beatitudes. Nine ladies dancing were the nine fruits of the Holy Spirit--Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, and Self Control. The ten lords a-leaping were the ten commandments. The eleven pipers piping stood for the eleven faithful disciples. The twelve drummers drumming symbolized the twelve points of belief in the Apostles' Creed. So there is your history for today. This knowledge was shared with me and I found it interesting and enlightening and now I know how that strange song became a Christmas Carol...so pass it on if you wish."
