(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. I do not find any mention of "Emely Perkins" or any wife when his
estate was settled. 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 he 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.
**No mention of any wife or children when his estate was settled** |

Walden, VT requested assistance from the clerk in Strafford, Orange Co.,
