I am new to this list and would like to let everyone on the list know who I am researching, just in case someone else is searching same lines. I am looking for information on Eliza Jane PERKINS b 30Dec1801 in New Paltz, Ulster Co, NY. She mrd Peter R Rogers b 16Apr1799 in Fishkill, Dutchess Co, NY. Her application for widows pension due her for Peter's service in War of 1812 states that she and Peter were married by a Rev Mr PERKINS, a Baptist minister, on 4Jul1819 in Milton, Ulster Co, NY. Have always wondered if he may have been related to Eliza somehow. Eliza and Peter moved around alot, living at various times in NYS in Dutchess Co, Seneca Co, Steuben Co, Ontario Co and eventually settled in Hornby, Steuben Co and raised their family. They had 12 children born between 1822 and 1850. These children were: Daniel, George Woodruff, Charles, Chauncey, Hannah, Phoebe Ann (my husband's line), Mary, Henry, Richard, Lawson, Charlotte and Peter D. Eliza died in Hornby 20Mar1884 and Peter died there also on 16Apr1799. I know little else about Eliza. I have a small tidbit of info that states that Eliza's father was a Dutchman and could not speak English, but I have no valid source for this. I also have come to believe that the Rev Mr Perkins, the Baptist minister who married Peter and Eliza, was one Aaron Perkins of the Lattintown Baptist Church (this church is in Milton, NY and is still active today). It appears that this Rev Aaron Perkins was the minister there from about November of 1812 until about 1824 which would make the time frame right. I have no further info on Aaron, and my efforts to contact the Lattintown Church have thus far been unsuccessful. If anyone can give me any help with any of this it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Nancy Scott
