6. Norman Grove Perkins b.1844 NY

Stockbridge, NY Cemetery record at Find-A-Grave.com has him linked to the parents of Nathan & Hannah (Sturtevant) Perkins. More research is needed to prove he was a child of theirs. Census data for 1830 conflicts as I find that Nathan & Hannah (Sturtevant)  Perkins were living 1790-1830 at Windsor Co., VT and not at Stockbridge, Madison Co., NY. It is possible they moved mid-year in 1830 ????
