Terrence, I saw on youre web site that DNA showed you are a Perkins descendant? My mother's grandmother was Loudonia (Perkins) Dawkins (1889 LA-1953 LA), daughter of Jackson "Jack" Perkins (1856 LA-1926 LA), g-gr-dtr of Elbert Perkins. My research in Louisiana includes Morehouse, Ouachita, Richland and Caddo Parishes.
