Perkins who rode Orphan Train to Atoka Co., OK.
I have found my grandmother, Letha Perkins, and her brother Joseph "Joe" Perkins listed as riders of the Orphan Trains to Indian Territory, Atoka Co.I'm trying to find information on the family that raised them.I'm assuming they were not adopted, but instead were indentured, because their last name was never changed.
Letha was born Jan. 28, 1887, and Joseph in May 1888.Letha married James T. Wright in 1898 in Atoka Co., OK. and after his death in 1918 she married William P. Boggs in Aug. 1920 in Atoka Co., OK.Letha and William Boggs are my grand parents.
Any help appreciated ---
Thanks, Jimmie
