I'm looking for info on my gr gr grandfather.. I have traced the rest of the family to my time but have run into a "wall" trying to get info on Henry M Perkins.. Here's what i have so far.. I found him first in Bedford Twp, Geauga Co, OH in the 1860 census w/ his wife Phyan Mary Montieth, and their first 2 children, Alice & Alfred living w/ her mother, step-father & younger step-brother (Maria, James & Alonzo Wilkes).. Then in 1870 census in Johnstown Twp, Barry Co, MI w/ his wife, children, Alice, Alfred, Fred & Irene, also an older women named Lydia. I think this is his mother.. They were living next to her parents here.. There were also another couple living w/ them, Nelson S & Sarah L Isham.. Don't know them.. I have looked found 4 Lydia Perkins' in 1870 in the area in 1870.. But the info, death cert, i found did not look to be the one i was looking for.. I did find Henry and the last 2 children, Edwin & Irene buried in a local cemetery.. I found where she, his wife, remarried & moved back to OH and so on.. No info on Henry or the 2 childrens death.. I looked through newspapers, clerks office, etc.. Nothing.. So i thought I'd try to go from the OH info.. It said he was born in Bainbridge Twp, OH.. They didn't keep birth records til after 1864 so I'm not sure where to go from here.. I checked 1850, 1840, 1830 census with no sign of any of them in the area.. Any help would be great... thanks Patrick Perkins Discover Yahoo! Find restaurants, movies, travel and more fun for the weekend. Check it out! http://discover.yahoo.com/weekend.html
