Loyal, What luck that we found each other!You asked about Perkins - Martha's sister, Matilda, married John Perkins in 1838, and one of her other sisters, Sarah, married William Perkins (a second husband.) Do you have a copy of Thomas Clark's book "Galland Branches?" That is where I found the above info. Tom lives in O'Fallon, Illinois, phone is (632)6294. If he cannot send you a copy, I will copy mine for you, it is about 200 pages in a looseleaf binder, and a wealth of information. I think it is best to mail me copies of the Bible and letters. I am not sure my printer would do them justice. If the Bible copy is hard to read, tracing would probably be a good idea. I am sending my address to you via e-mail. Please stay in touch. Clarice
