Hello Micheal,are you familiar with Eckman,WV in McDowell County?This is where Ada Leigh (Lee)Perkins was born in 1908.This was my Grandmother.John Perkins and his wife Effie?were my Great Grandparents.I know they also had another daughter by what my mother and aunts have told me.I do not know if they had other children,but it is possible.The family knows nothing else about John or Effie.The other daughters name was Pearl and she married a Steves and moved to Charleston,WV.I appreciate your response and any help available with this family from you or anyone else that may recognize the names.These are my brickwalls.My Grandmother died in 1956 or 1957 before I was born.I do have a picture of her though.I would love to get anything on John and Effie that I could so I can complete my family tree.My Mother died in 2000 so anything else she could have added is gone.I know she and the family told us that Ada used to make medicine out of herbs and plants,and that they had Indian Ancestry.Without anything on John and Effie that is hard to prove.I don't know where they were born or where or when they died.I will check what you have given me me and I may get lucky.Thank you again,Ann
