Perkins, George Washington, a veteran Elder in the Pleasant Green Ward, Salt Lake county, Utah, was born May 1, 1836, in Hancock county Ill., the son of Absalom Perkins and Nancy Martin. He was baptized in 1844 by Joel Johnson, emigrated to America in 1848, crossing the plains in Capt. Allen Taylor's hundred, and settled at once in the Nineteenth Ward, Salt Lake City, where he was ordained a Seventy about the year 1853 and became a member of the 31st quorum of Seventy. Brother Perkins' father (Absalom Perkins died with mountain fever in Salt Lake City in 1848 and his mother Nancy Martin Perkins died at the same place in 1854. In 1854, George W. was called, together with others, to fill a special colonization mission to Green River, and thus he became one of the founders of Ft. Supply, where he helped to build a block house: but the Indians drove the settlers away after Bro. Perkins had resided there about six months. For nine years Elder Perkins worked on the overland poney express. In 1864 (Jan. 20th) he married Alice Mellen after which he lived in the Sixteenth Ward, Salt Lake City, three years; thence he moved with his family to Pleasant Green in 1867. There Bro. Perkins acted for many years as a Ward Teacher; he is the father of seven children.
Perkins, Alice Mellen, wife of Geo. W. Perkins, was born June 27, 1845, in Hancock county, Ill., the daughter of John Mellen and Jane Ramsten. She came to Utah in 1848, together with her parents, crossing the plains in Allen Taylor's hundred and settled in the Fifteenth Ward, Salt Lake City. During the move in 1858 she located temporarily at Springville, Utah county, but returned soon afterwards to Salt Lake City, to the Sixteenth Ward, where her mother died Dec. 13, 1893, and her father Feb. 16, 1897. Sister Alice married George Washington Perkins Jan. 20, 1864, and became the mother of seven children, six of whom are yet living.
