Cousins, My great grandmother's (Caroline BLACK 1851-1930) obit said she married Wm Bunton and had Ella, then he died. Then she married Wm Perkins, had Ethel (1881-1976) and then he died. Then she married Mr. Seagraves and that marriage ended in divorce. In actuality, I believe she was never married, but someone needed to create a life for a good Baptist lady who attended church and had two daughters with families living in the Weiser, Idaho area. This is all just fine with me -- I'm happy to have a life. :) However, it's also sad, because Ethel is my grandma and unless DNA turns up something helpful, I'll likely never know who my great grandfather actually was. I've run across several potentials with the right name -- Wm Perkins -- who were about the right age; however, I have no proof and proof is highly unlikely. All I ask is that you cousins who are researching the Perkins line in NE Tennessee will keep me and my great grandma in mind should you run across a likely story. Grandma Ethel Perkins-Black was a jewell of a grandma, born in Butler, Tennesseem, now under TVA waters.
