I don't have any info about a Missouri connection, but I am researching an earlier
connection between a Timothy Chandler and a Solomon Perkins in Logan County KY in 1796.
My information is that this Solomon Perkins had several siblings, including a William
Perkins Jr., a Richard Perkins and a John Perkins, who went to Missouri around 1808 from
KY. William and John supposedly died in Cape Girardieu Co. MO and Richard in Oregon Co.
MO.
Jane Leavell has an extensive (huge) Perkins genealogy Web site (just do a search on those
key words and you can't miss it) that also lists a Jesse Perkins marrying a Mary Fish
in 1797 in North Carolina. They then migrated to Missouri. One of their daughters is
listed as a Mary Louise Perkins, b. 1804 in Lincoln Co. MO who marries a John Waggoner;
she died supposedly 1842 in Independence Co., AR. Connected to your Perkinses?
This Jesse Perkins is a descendant of Richard Perkins of Baltimore Co. MD in the 1690s, as
is my Solomon Perkins.
For the Perkins-Chandler KY connection, go to the Chandler message board and do a search
on "Perkins" within the board and you'll find my post with all the details
about those two. They must have known each other quite well.
Good luck.
