I am seeking the first name of a male child of William G. & Philinda (Post) Perkins. Please read the information below to get a good idea of the situation.
************************************************
William G. Perkins b.1790 NH m. Philinda (Post), dau. of Noah Post. This family resided in Canada, New York and then Michigan
[Children of William G. & Philinda (Post) Perkins]
1.Jane Perkins b.1819 NY
2.Noah Perkins b.1823 NY d.1864/1865
3.James Lindley Perkins b. 1825 NY, d.1875
4.Myron H. Perkins b.1827 NY d.1864 Va
5.William Perkins Jr. b. 1830 NY (Twin) d.1918 WA
6.WILLARD Perkins, MD b. 1830 NY (Twin) d.1919 Onstead,MI
7. Unknown Perkins (male) d.1889 "Wisconsin"
8. Unknown Perkins (male) d.1894 Eldorado,IA
9. Unknown Perkins
10.Unknown Perkins** It is known that William G. & Philinda (Post) Perkins had a total of 10 children, only 6 names are known at this time.
**Two newspaper articles appered in the Hudson,Lenawee Co. MI Newspaper.
1st one dated: 7-1-1889 of the death of a brother of Dr. Willard Perkins in "Wisconsin"(no town given)(no first name given).
**2nd one dated: 7-13-1894 of the death of a brother of Dr. Willard Perkins in Eldorado,IA (no first name given).
***This is the information I am seeking***
=================================================
The reason why these articles were listed in the Hudson, Lenawee Co., MI Newspaper is because WILLARD PERKINS (child # 6 above) was a Medical Doctor in Michigan, and his news was "News Worthy" at that time.
=================================================
WILLARD Perkins, MD was listed on the 1850 MI Census at Franklin, Lenawee Co., MI.
=================================================I would like to find out the name of his "Brother" who died in Eldorado, IA and the brother in Wisconsin, but since the article didn't even give a town in Wisconsin, thats going to be very difficult to locate.
Can anyone help find the first name of this "Perkins" male who died in Eldorado, IA in 1894 ? I would appreciate any assistance.
