Perkins, was killed while working in a field by a Wm. Dow who the obituary said shot my ggrandfather "without any provocation whatsoever". This obituary ordered by the "Rock Tank Alliance" is all we know about this great grandfather. I tried to find the Salesville cemetery in November, 2001, but I could not locate it. I do not know for sure that my ggrandfather is buried there, but I would like to look. My Perkins' side seems to have been invisible, but I visited the area as a child and I know they lived in Graford and that area. My grandmother was Ella Viola Adams Perkins whose husband, John William Perkins, died in 1918. He was the son of Z. H. A. Perkins. He and Ella are buried at Megargel. Another relative who I think lived in Salesville was named Spain Moore. I have not found any reference to him either. He was (I think) the brother of my other grandmother, Susie Moore Shirley. She is buried at Perrin. If anyone has any information on these people, I would appreciate hearing from you.
