Author: Wayne & Appanosse Co Iowa History 1886

This is the biography from the 1886 book. It was typed as written. I am not 
certain that the Perkin's family still there is related but would suspect that 
there is a connection some way.

THOMAS M. PERKINS, senior member of the firm of Perkins & Son, has been engaged 
in his present grocery business since March, 1877. He was born in Licking 
County, Ohio, in 1836, a son of William and Henrietta Perkins. He is numbered 
among the pioneers of Wayne County, Iowa, having come here in 1855 when but 
nineteen years of age. He made his home with John Dowell till his marriage, 
both having come to this county together, Mr. Dowell settling in South Fork 
Township. Mr. Perkins was married in the fall of 1857 to Miss Alice Ackley. 
They have two children living--Rose and William B. Their eldest son, Frank, 
died March 7, 1882, at the age of twenty-three years. He was a promising young 
man, and his death was a deep affliction to his parents. After coming to Wayne 
County Mr. Perkins followed farming in South Fork Township till he removed to 
Seymour, Walnut Township, in 1877. The father of our subject came to Wayne 
County, Iowa, in 1857, his mother having previously died in Ohio. There were 
five children in the family of William Perkins, of whom our subject is the only 
one living in Iowa.
