Perkins Family - Ourfolk

John Perkins and his wife were both of German descent. They were pioneers in Rush county, Ind., where Mr. Perkins engaged in farming, kept a dry-goods and grocery store, and also bought stock. He and his wife died in that county. They had a large family. Eight sons and six daughters were born to James and Patsy (Perkins) McCormack, of whom five were surviving at last accounts: Jediah R., of Indianapolis; Amos P. (twin of Jediah), of Lebanon, Ind.; Ira M., of Jamestown, Ind.; James W., of Bainbridge, Ind.; and Kate, wife of William H. Eagle, of Frankfort, Ind. The mother died in Frankfort in 1880, at the age of seventy-seven years. She was a Methodist in religious faith, while Mr. McCormack was a Baptist. He was one of the first three commissioners of Marion county.
