Hello Washington, I am seeking any information anyone can provide me, regarding the family of George Washington PERKINS, born April 6, 1857, in Jefferson County, NY; and last known to be in Spokane or Seattle Counties. George and the family were from Michigan, where he married a woman named Emma Perkins (sorry no maiden name yet) born in Michigan in August 1869. They had a daughter named Bessie Perkins STEVENS born Oct. 1887 in Michigan, and a son George PERKINS, born May 1899 in Washington (no county yet). According to the 1880 census they were living in Chelais(sp?) (I believe it's now Gray's Harbor County) County, WA. By the 1920 census, George was living alone on Olympic Street in Spokane. The strange thing is the 1920 census form has the notation: "Mentally unstable. Considered dangerous. Under police watch," in the city and place of birth box(es)I That should make George somewhat more visible I guess. I believe he passed away in the 30s or 40s like the rest of his family. I have an old address for George, but I don't know the year. I estimate it was in the 20s-40s; "1515 BELMONT ST. SEATTLE, WA." Bessie married and with the last name STEVENS, her last known address was "212 E. CEDAR STREET, ABERDEEN, WA." I do not know what happened to George Jr. I'll be posting this same message to those counties. Any information at all would be 100% more than I have now and greatly appreciated. If I can solve these mysteries I promise not to move to Washington like the other California expatriates!
