Joseph Perkins
and Rebecca Campbell married in Harrison County, Kentucky on August 22, 1799,
but living in Bourbon County shortly thereafter. Their oldest daughter,
Mary Elizabeth married James Donovan. Joseph and several of his children
later moved to Vermillion County, Illinois. Would like the parents
Joseph, James and Rebecca Campbell. One researcher thought that her
father was Arthur Campbell. Also my James and Mary Cloe and James and
Elizabeth Cloe, children moved to Bourbon County, Kentucky in the early 1800.
I have a double connection to these Cloe families. Any help would
be appreciated.
