Edward, b Lincolnshire ENGLAND abt 1830
I am researching the Edward Perkins who was born in 1830 around Lincolnshire, England.This Edward came to the states and settled in Edgar County, Illinois.He married Rhoda Koho in 1857 in Edgar County, Illinois.
In Edgar County, there are other Perkins in the vicinity of where Edward settled.I am trying to determine several things, but most specifically the following two items:
1. Edward's parents
2. If the other Perkins' in the area could be brothers or cousins or nephews to Edward.
The names of these men include Paul, John, James and William.Some had land that abutted Edward's.Some lived in the same township as Edward or his sons. And they seemed to buy each others' land suggesting a familial relationship; however, it could also have been nothing more than a straighforward business transaction.
If anyone has any information that you think might be helpful, I would appreciate hearing from you.
