RICHARD A. PERKINS

Richard Ansmore Perkins b.3.6.1824 Watertown, Jefferson Co., NY d.1911 Nassau Co., NY. His wife CYNTHIA VOORHEES (DURYEA'S) b.1823 Oswego Co., NY. They were married in 1847. By 1860 they removed to Oyster Bay, Queens Co., NY

Their children were:

1. Ada Duryea Perkins b.1855 NY m. Joseph Wallace Cummins
2. Helen Valentine Perkins b.1863 NY m. Arthur W. Cummins
3. Harry Winslow Perkins b.1868 NY m. Mary Elizabeth (Metler)

**He could he be a **Possible** Son of Richard Perkins III b.1795 NY ???? *The family information on the 1830 Census Record on Richard Perkins III does not match as far as how many sons he had under the age of 5*
*** He could be related to Chauncey I. Perkins (below) whose father/mother lived in Watertown, NY in between the 1820-1830 Census

A search for his 7.22.1911 Death Record at Glen Cove, Long Island, Nassau Co., NY would be helpful as it may list his parents names ???

CHAUNCEY I. PERKINS

Chauncey Israel Perkins b.1828 Watertown, Jefferson Co., NY. His wife m.1860 at Adams, Jefferson Co., NY, Mrs. MELVINA (FELT) REEVES, widow of Almanzo Reeves. He was listed on the 1850 Census at Clayton, Jefferson Co., NY in the household of Antonio Vincenty (age 60) from France. I am unable to locate him on the 1860 Census. This couple removed to Bradford, Ontario, Canada

Their only child was:

1. John Willson Perkins b.1875

*Note* According to the source book, Chauncey I. Perkins was born at Watertown, Jefferson Co., NY. In 1830 there were a total of 3 Perkins men living at Watertown, Jefferson Co., NY. Based on the census family numbers, Chauncey I. Perkins doesn't seem to fit into their family. I suspect that who ever his father is, they did reside in Adams Center, Jefferson Co., NY in 1828 but that they were gone by the time the 1830 census taker came around.
*** He could be related to Richard A. Perkins (above) whose father/mother lived in Watertown, NY in between the 1820-1830 Census
