JOSEPH PERKINS
Joseph Perkins b. ? (*probably 1773 Derby, CT)  CT d. ? (probably 1815 ?) Williamstown/Amboy, Oswego Co., NY. His wife UNKNOWN (UNKNOWN) (*probably. SARAH (CANDE/CANDEE). In 1805 he came from Connecticut and was the first settler of the town of Williamstown, Oswego Co., NY. He settled on the east half of lot #14. Sometime in 1805, he opened a public house where John Jacobs now lives (1830 John Jacobs lived at Sandy Creek, Oswego Co., NY). He lived in Williamstown/Amboy until his death. He was accidentally killed while working in the woods. He left a family of two sons and three daughters. He was not listed on the 1810 Oswego Co., NY (I don't know why ???).

*More research needed*

possible son:  Marcus Perkins

WAS HE or WAS HE NOT is the Question:

**Note** - It has been suggested that this Joseph Perkins,  was Joseph Perkins b. 1773 Derby, New Haven Co., CT  d.1815 >? son of Ithiel b.1733 CT d.1826 VT & Mrs. Esther (Chatfield) (Fox) Perkins. It has been recorded that Joseph Perkins b.1773 Derby, CT, son of Ithiel & Esther (Chatfield-Fox) Perkins, m. Sarah (Cande\Candee).

A discrepancy was found that the above Joseph Perkins b. ? CT d. Williamstown/Amboy, Oswego Co., NY was NOT the son of Ithiel & Esther (Chatfield-Fox) Perkins. The information comes from the auto-biography of Roger Perkins  b.1769 CT a known son of Ithiel & Esther (Chatfield-Fox) Perkins. He states "I was born Apr. 5, 1769 in Derby, CT. My father was Ithiel Perkins, he was born Jan. 10, 1734, came to Fair Haven, VT in 1795. He was a Soldier in the Revolutionary War and was wounded at Bunker Hill. He died Feb. 1826 VT. My mother was Esther Fox and was married to father on Oct. 26, 1767. Father died crazy. My brothers David Perkins and Joseph Perkins stayed in Connecticut"..........


A discrepancy was found that the above
Joseph Perkins b. ? CT d. Williamstown/Amboy, Oswego Co., NY WAS the son of Ithiel & Esther (Chatfield-Fox) Perkins. This information comes from the book "The Candee Genealogy: With notices of Allied Families by Charles C. Baldwin (1832). In this book it is stated that Sarah Cande/Candee m. Joseph Perkins and that she and her sister Huldah (Cande/Candee) who married ???? Seymour\Seymoure where known to have moved to Oswego Co., NY.

I have been unable to locate any information on Joseph & Sarah (Cande/Candee) Perkins on any census or local records in Oswego Co., NY at this time of this writing (6/18/2022).
 I did however locate Real Estate - Sales Records (1816-1830) v. 1, Image 27 of 67 at www.familysearch.org that contained information on a Gideon Seymor of Volney, Oswego Co., NY, who died sometime in 1825. His wives name is listed on the document "IN the matter of the real estate of Gideon Seymore" as Huldah Seymor. Gideon & Huldah Seymor lived in the town of Volney, Oswego Co., NY on a 21 acre lot that was opposite the dwelling house of "Asa Cande". I find Hulday Seymor listed on the 1830 census at Volney, Oswego Co.,NY and then in 1840 Huldah Seymor listed at Volney, Oswego Co., NY. In the Candee Genelogy book mentioned above, it is recorded that Sarah (Cande\Candee) Perkins & Huldah (Cande\Candee) Seymore did have a brother named Asa Cande\Candee b.1791. Further research shows that he m. Mary (Mc McAlpine) and removed to Volney, Oswego Co., NY as early as 1812 and died in 1871 at McGregor, Clayton Co., IA.


*Thoughts* Even though in the auto-biography of Roger Perkins when he states that his brothers "David Perkins & Joseph Perkins stayed in Connecticut", it is highly possible that yes, as far as he knew, when he and his father removed to Fair Haven, VT in 1795, that his brothers "stayed in Connecticut". This does not mean they stayed there until they died.


The known children of Joseph & Sarah (Cande/Candee) Perkins were:

1. Ithiel Perkins b.1793 CT d.1793 CT
2. Unknown Perkins b. ? d.1795 CT
3. Alta Perkins b.1797 CT
