Cindy, do you know if your John L. PERKINS had a son named Frederick W. PERKINS? I've only been able to trace my PERKINS ancestors back to this Frederick (b May 5th, 1853; married Caroline ACHESON; d Jan 16th, 1933 in Orono, ME). I don't know Fred's parents. Some records say he was born in Canada, others in England; however several census entries report that his father was born in Maine. Fred W. married Caroline ACHESON in New Brunswick, Canada; the couple was living in St. David, New Brunswick in 1881 but emigrated to Maine soon thereafter. They were in Vanceboro, Washington Co., Maine in 1900, then moved to Bangor, ME by 1910 and spent the rest of their lives in Bangor and Orono. Fred and Caroline's children were Willis (maybe Willie), Nellie M., Frank H., Grace Lena, Harry R., and Christiana PERKINS (all born in Maine between 1881 and 1895). I'm descended from Grace Lena PERKINS (b 1889 in Vanceboro, ME; married William S. CARLISLE in Bangor, ME in 1912; died 1979 in Bangor, ME. Her daughter was my grandmother, Virginia CARLISLE (b 1917 in Bangor, ME; married Donald Francis GIBBONS in Bangor, ME in 1937; died 1972 in Burlington, VT). Jenny Gibbons

Jenny My Fred Perkins middle initial is B. Born in 1871 in Maine but I don't have a place of birth. John's other children that I have found were Almeda A. Perkins, Rose M. Perkins, Arthur C. Perkins, and Beatrice Perkins. They are probably all related somehow as Penobscot and Orland Maine are up towards Bangor.
