(Capt.) Robert Perkins b.1793 d.1826
Strafford, Orange Co., VT. Son of (John
& Nancy (Unknown) Perkins of Walden, VT).
Per Strafford, Orange Co., VT land records, he resided in Strafford,
Orange Co., VT as early as 1817. He ran a shop\store at Strafford, Orange Co., VT. I
don't know exactly what type of shop/store it was but, I do find a
document in Strafford, Orange Co., VT that he was paid to build a
coffin\casket. He was not enumerated on the 1820 Census at Strafford,
Orange Co., VT. He may have been the person age 16-25 in the household
of George Perkins in 1810. He may have been the person age 26-44 listed
in the George Perkins (above) household in 1820. He was referred to in a
deed as "Capt. Robert Perkins". (War of 1812 ?)
He may or may not be related to George Perkins
(above) but, I do find it curious that Robert Perkins purchased a lot of land from
George Perkins near the "Shop\Store" for only $1.00 when George Perkins
paid $10.00 for it. I also find it curious that he is not a
head-of-household in 1820, especially after he purchased land there in
1817. A "Emily Perkins" was a witness to this land purchase deed but,
I do not find any mention of "Emely
Perkins" or any wife when his estate was settled.
**No mention of any wife or children when his estate was settled** |
Source: John Perkins of
Walden, VT requested assistance from the clerk in Strafford, Orange Co.,
VT to help settle his son Robert Perkins estate.

| Benjamin Perkins Sr. b. ? .
His wife UNKNOWN (UNKNOWN). He was listed in 1810 at Corinth,
Orange Co., VT living with his son, Benjamin Perkins Jr. & Children.
I find a 1829 & 1831 Deeds located at Chelsea, Orange Co., VT stating
that Enos M. Perkins sold his
land in Chelsea, Orange Co., VT to Benjamin Perkins Sr in 1818. *Note: I
find a 1818 Deed showing Enos M. Perkins sold the land in Chelsea, VT to
Benjamin Perkins Jr). In 1824 Benjamin
Perkins Sr. then sold the same 3 parcels of land to
Benjamin Perkins Jr. and that the 3rd parcel of land being "all the land that Noah Rowe
sold to Ebenezer Perkins (since deceased) (*Note: I do find a
1816 Deed showing Noah Rowe sold land in Chelsea, VT to Enos M. Perkins
as well as a 1824 Deed showing that Noah Rowe sold a strip of land to
Ebenezer Perkins who apparently died right after he purchased it on
10.16.1824)" . In 1829
Benjamin Perkins (not sure if Sr. or Jr.) then sold the
same 3 parcels of land to David Perkins and in 1831 David Perkins
sold the same 3 parcels of land back to Benjamin Perkins (not sure if it
was Sr. or Jr.). Uncertain of any "PERKINS" family relationship between Enos M.
Perkins and Benjamin Perkins Sr. & Benjamin Perkins Jr. (if any). More
research is needed.
Their known children were:
1. Benjamin
Perkins Jr. b.ca.1770
