from the book 'History of Detroit and Wayne County and Early Michigan,' Vol II,
by Silas Farmer 1890:
"JOHN PERKINS was born in Kent Co., Delaware, March 23, 1839, and came to
Michigan with his parents and settled in the town of Canton, Wayne Co. His
father still resides there. George removed to Sumpter in
1783, and purchased the farm of 40 acres he now lives on. On Oct. 9, 1862, he
married Miss Anna M. Miller, daughter of Robert Miller, of Sumpter.
They had eight children, seven of whom are living, viz.: Clara, Ida, Sarah,
Agnes, Sally, Annie, and Etta. Clara married Augustus Schultz, of New Boston."
