Arthur, Hello, I have some Perkins relatives in Mercer County. Your reply to Clifford caught my eye with Missouri Ann Perkins. The dates you give for her would make her possibly related to my George Perkins from the same area. She could be his sister or cousin. Is there anything else you know about that lady? This is all I have, and it is very incomplete. James PERKINS married Lucy ? The only child I know of was George PERKINS George PERKINS married Octavia BIBBIE Their children were: Earnest PERKINS Clifford PERKINS Carrie PERKINS Bessie PERKINS Herbert PERKINS Crockett PERKINS Robbie PERKINS Tuny PERKINS Lacy PERKINS Arabelle PERKINS (b.1894-d.1982) married Ballard Hezekiah RATLIFF (b.1883-d.1965) They are my great-grandparents.Ballard is the son of James RATLIFF and Elizabeth SURFACE. Thanks, I hope it rings a bell. Suzie
