Reference the 1850, 1860, 1870 and 1880 Federal Censuses for William Jordan Perkins Sr and Elizabeth Jane Perkins Mills. There is a separate person, JW Perkins, married to MJ (Malvina Gabbert Henry Perkins) with children William J, LD, Ova, and Mary and Avo Henry in the 1880 census. THIS IS A DIFFERENT FAMILY ENTIRELY. JW Perkins was born in 1840 TN, his parents in VA. Further confusing the relationship are Mary Henry and Avo Henry, probably children to Malvina Gabbert and stepchildren to JW Perkins. These families may have been related.
OBITUARY AND INFORMATION FOR WILLIAM PERKINS: Perkins, W. J.: Death of W. J Perkins -- It is with much regret we learn of the death of W. J. Perkins, which occurred at his home, one mile from Cookeville, last Monday night at 11 o'clock. Mr. Perkins suffered from Bright's disease for three weeks preceding his death, but he bore it with manly fortitude and christian resignation. He was conscious of his perilous condition and freely expressed himself as being ready for the final ordeal. At one time he said: "Oh, it is a beautiful time for me to die. I have no fears for the future. I am ready to meet God in peace, and dread the sting of death." Mr. Perkins was one of the first men to move into Cookeville after it was located in 1854, and has resided here ever since. He was the second Sheriff of the county and discharged the duties of the office with perfect satisfaction to all. He was a big souled, high minded man, and stood high in the estimation of all who knew him. He was a faithful husband, a considerate father and a staunch, devoted member of the Christian Church for the last twenty-five ears. He was devoted to his family, and they all loved and worshiped him, and are bowed down in sorrow at their irreparable loss. He was nearly 73 years old at the time of his death, having lived a long and useful life, scattering blessing and charity along his pathway. The Press joins in the general sorrow which is felt by all who knew him. His remains were interred at the family burying grounds last Tuesday afternoon at three o'clock.
