I am researching my father's side of the family: Ephraim Perkins m. Susan Wentworth, daughter of Ephraim Wentworth and Susannah Cook Ephraim was born about 1800 in New Hampshire. Ephraim and Susan married 24 Feb 1833, and they had 7 children: Robert R, Charles H, Mary E, Emily A, Hannah F, Laura H and Luther H (twins). They are living in Farmington, Strafford, NH in the 1850-1880 census records. Their son Robert R Perkins, born in June 1837 in New Hampshire, married Mary J _____. They had 10 children: George C, William S, Charles H, Frank A, Ralph E, Harry I, Arthur B, Susan M, Katie M and Annie L Perkins. They are living in Farmington, Strafford, NH in the 1860-1900 census records. Their Son George C Perkins, born in Jul 1853, married Nettie Lovey Pearson, daughter of Horace B and Love Jane (Gray) Pearson of Alexandria, New Hampshire. George and Nettie are my great great grandparents. George and Nettie are in Farmington in 1880, and moved to Haverhill, Essex, Massachusetts by 1900. They resided there at least until the 1930 census. George and Nettie had three children: Walter Ivan, Ethel May, and Edwin Clarence Perkins. Their son Edwin Clarence Perkins, born 28 June 1894 in Haverhill, Essex, Massachusetts, married Lillian Maud Smart, daughter of Henry M and Nancy Anna "Annie" (Crissell) Smart. Edwin and Lillian are my great grandparents. Ephraim Perkins is my brick wall - I have not been able to locate any further information on him, other than what is available on the census records. If anyone has any information on any of these Perkins, I would most appreciate it. For more complete information on what I have found so far, I have a website which lists the Perkins I have named above at: www.geocities.com/kirabennett/ Thanks, Erin L Perkins Bennett

I have a Charles H. Perkins living in Farmington in the early 1900's. He was born March 9, 1875 in Dover, NH; died 1918 in Rochester, NH. He was the son of Thomas and Mary Ann Perkins. His father died in 1881, and his mother was living with him in Farmington at the time of her death in 1907. Don't know if there's a connection with your line, but would love it if there is! This line leads to my brick wall! Thomas, b. 1834, was the son of James Perkins, b. abt. 1801, d. 1877, and Susan Downes, b. 1805, d. 1853. I have conflicting information about the birthplace of both Thomas and James.
