Biographical Details:

Jabez Perkins, Jr., was born in August of 1796 in Grayson County, Virginia, and was the son of Jabez and Nancy Perkins.  The Perkins family moved to Knox County, Kentucky, when Jabez, Jr., was about sixteen or seventeen years old and it would seem that he subsequently married Rachel Wright about 1815 or 1816 in this locality.  Moreover, it is known that the Perkins family settled and purchased land in the western part of Knox County which was organized as Whitley County in 1818.  According to civil records of Whitley County, Jabez and Rachel Perkins sold their land on Jellico Creek to John Hitchcock on September 25, 1826.¹  Afterward, they apparently migrated to northeastern Alabama.  Within this context, several researchers have asserted that, Allie and Nancy, the two oldest daughters of Jabez and Rachel Perkins, were born in Alabama.  However, it is more likely that they were born in Kentucky since both of their births occurred prior to 1826.  (Indeed, for the 1860 Jackson County population schedule, Nancy Wilder, evidently a widowed head of household, stated explicitly that she had been born in Kentucky.)  Concomitantly, Kennamer's History of Jackson County stated that Jabez Perkins settled in Kennamer Cove, i.e., valley, before 1830.²  This location presently lies in Marshall County, Alabama, a few miles south to southeast of the village of Woodville; however, in 1830 it would have been within the territory of Jackson County (from which Marshall County was separated and organized in 1836).  Moreover, according to the same published history, on October 12, 1827, Jabez served as a delegate from Mount Pisgah Church to the Mud Creek Primitive Baptist Association, which is consistent chronologically with the arrival of the family in Alabama in late 1826 or early 1827.  In any case, the household of Jabez Perkins was listed in the population schedule of the 1830 US Census for Jackson County, Alabama, and included an adult male between thirty and forty years of age and an adult female between twenty and thirty, which obviously correspond to Jabez Perkins and his wife, Rachel.  In addition, four children were also present in the household, viz., a female between the ages of ten and fifteen, a female between five and ten, and a male and female both less than five years of age.  Clearly, these can be identified with daughters, Allie, Nancy, and Martha, and son, William, and, hence, are in close accord with the known family of Jabez Perkins, Jr.  Subsequently, the household of Jabez Perkins, again, was listed in the population schedule of the 1840 US Census for Marshall County and at this time included an adult male between forty and fifty years of age, an adult female between twenty and thirty, a female fifteen to twenty years old, a male and female both between ten and fifteen years, a male and female between five and ten, and a male less than five years old.  Of course, the adult male was undoubtedly Jabez himself.  Likewise, the six youngest members of the household can be identified readily as the six youngest children of Jabez, Jr., and Rachel Wright Perkins.  However, both Rachel and their oldest daughter, Allie, are believed to have died before 1840.  Within this context, it is known that Jabez Perkins, Jr., remarried to a recent widow, Sarah Kirby Justice, probably on November 30, 1840, thus, it is plausible that the adult female corresponded to her.³  Even so, it is also often asserted that she was born on November 17, 1800, and, therefore, would have been almost forty years old at the time of the census.  In all likelihood, this inconsistency was probably due to an error on the part of the census taker.  In addition, the year of Jabez and Sarah's marriage has commonly been given as 1839; however, Sarah's first husband, Thomas Justice, did not die until September 23, 1840.  Therefore, since their first child, Amy, was born in August of 1841, it is clear that they must have married in 1840.  Accordingly, the family appeared in the population schedule of the 1850 US Census for Marshall County and evidently included the three youngest children of Jabez and Rachel Wright Perkins, viz., Isaac, Melvina, and Zaccheus; the four children of Jabez and Sarah Kirby Justice Perkins, viz., Amy, Jabez, John, and Timothy; as well as three of Sarah's children from her first marriage, viz., James B., Sarah, and Martha Justice.  Moreover, Sarah's age was given as forty-three in the population schedule, which obviously implies a birth year of 1806 or 1807, rather than 1800.  In addition, the family of William and Lucy Perkins immediately succeeded the family of Jabez and Sarah Perkins in the population schedule, which strongly indicates that they were living in close proximity.  Indeed, William can be identified as William Abraham Perkins, son of Jabez Perkins, Jr., and Lucy, as his stepdaughter, Lucy Jane Justice Perkins, daughter of Sarah Kirby Justice Perkins.  They had married in 1848.  Likewise, it is known that William's younger brother, Isaac, and Lucy's younger sister, Sarah Anne, also married in 1856.⁴

Commonly, pioneers made land claims using informal methods such as the marking of "witness trees", etc., which were generally upheld by local civil authorities.  Consequently, application for an official land patent might be delayed for some years.  Moreover, for public land states, such as Alabama, there was typically an additional delay between entry and grant of a patent of up to several years, since these were issued by the federal government in Washington, rather than less remote state governments.  Thus, the earliest patent granted to Jabus, i.e., Jabez Perkins for property in Alabama was issued on September 10, 1838, for forty acres more or less, lying in Marshall County.⁵  This parcel was located in the extreme northeast corner of Section Twenty between three and four miles southeast of the present village of Woodville, and, furthermore, its northern edge coincided with the boundary of Jackson and Marshall Counties.  Three more patents were granted to Jabez Perkins, Jr., viz., for another eighty acres in Section Twenty and for two hundred acres lying about two miles west in Sections Twenty-four and Twenty-five, but these were not issued unitl the late 1850's.  Even so, it is probable that initial claims had been made many years earlier.  In passing, it should be noted that one of the patents indicated that Jabez Perkins was a resident of Jackson County rather than Marshall County.  This should not be surprising due to the close proximity of the "county line" to the locations described above.  Indeed, it is probable that he may have owned land in Jackson as well as Marshall County.  This is further supported by the assertion of some family researchers that John Walker Perkins, son of Jabez, Jr., and Sarah Kirby Perkins, was born in Jackson County.  By all accounts, Jabez Perkins, Jr., died on January 13, 1859, probably in Marshall County.  He is said to have been buried in a family cemetery; however, the location is uncertain.  Subsequently, Sarah Perkins, age fifty-two, born in Tennessee, was listed in the 1860 census as a head of household.  Obviously, she was the widow of Jabez Perkins and is believed to have survived until 1881 and to have been buried in the Rollins Cemetery.  It is clear from Kennamer's history that Jabez was active in the Primitive Baptist Association and was identified as an early preacher.

     "Claysville became the first county seat of Marshall County.  The town is now all gone, but there are a few wide-spreading oaks still standing in the residence section.  This territory was settled at a very early date with an excellent class of people from Virginia, North and South Carolina and Tennessee.  Some of the settlers prior to 1830 were: David Ricketts, William Barclay, Hesekiah Bayles, Edmond Bridges, James Fletcher, George Green, James Cotton, Isham H. Fennell, Abraham G. Holt, and Thomas Manning, who settled in lower Paint Rock Valley and Honey Comb Valley; Hans Kennamer, and sons, Samuel, Stephen, Levi, Zachary, and Jacob, Presley R. Woodall, Isham Wright, Jabez Perkins, Robert Chandler, and Willis Woodall in Kennamer's Cove; William Black, Bryant Cobb, Joseph G. Garrett, Hugh Henry, John C.

     "The history of the earliest Baptists in the county was marked by a fierce struggle between the anti-mission and the mission Baptist.  The anti-mission faction was stigmatized as 'Hardshells' while they adopted the name Primitive Baptist, claiming apostolic descent and insisting that they were adhering to New Testament principles and practices.
     The Baptist historian, Riley, says that the Flint River Association was organized at Bradshaw's Meeting House, Lincoln County, Tennessee, September 26, 1814, and churches from the territory in Alabama, which afterward became Jackson County, were represented.
     The original minute book now in the hands of James Wilhelms, Clerk, Langston, Alabama, shows that the Mud Creek Association was organized on the Third Saturday in November, 1821, at the Mud Creek Meeting House.  This Association included all Baptist churches in Jackson County and some churches in Sequatchie Valley, in Tennessee.  The nine churches in the Association were: Mountgilled, Mud Creek, Providence (in Maynard's Cove), New Hope, Hopewell, Blue Spring, Friendship, Paint Rock (in the valley), and Union, in Sequatchie Valley.
     Isaac Reed was elected first Moderator, Josiah Conn, Clerk.  The delegates from the following churches, to-wit:  (1) Mountgilled-John Kelly, Shadreck Herron and Samuel Wilson.  (2) Mud Creek-John Ham, Andrew Estes and Josiah Conn.  (3) Prividence [sic]-Hugh Gentry, John Owens and Levi Isbell.  (4) New Hope-Elisha Blevins, Haden Williams and John Blevins.  (5) Hopewell-David Bryant.  (6) Blue Spring-James Dodson, John Jones and David Settles.  (7) Friendship-Richard Wilson, Daniel and John Morris.  (8) Paint Rock-John Williams and John Reed.  (9) Union-Samuel McBee.
     On the 12th of October, 1827, the Association met with the Paint Rock church, Samuel McBee, Moderator, and Henry Gotcher, Clerk, and received into the Association, Sardis Church, in upper Paint Rock Valley, and Mount Pisgah Church, in Kennamer Cove.  Delegates from Mount Pisgah were Jabez Perkins and David Kennamer.  In 1829, Bethel Church joined the Mud Creek Association; John Moon and Moses Maples were delegates.
     Before the year 1935 [sic - 1835], the churches in Sequatchie Valley dropped out.  The Association met again with the Paint Rock Church, October 1835, and Union Church, of Woodville, was received into the Association; delegates Joseph Maples, John Moon, William Maples, and S. Stephens.
     Just after the Civil war there was a great revival of religion everywhere.  Union Church held a great revival and it became the largest church of the Primitive Baptists in Northern Alabama and has remained such to this present.
     The following may be named as preachers of this church who were well and favorably known in their day: John Williams, John Reed, Isaac Reed, Samuel McBee, Jabez Perkins, Wesley Sisk, Robert Chandler, Elijah Berry, John J. Page, Peter Maples, Simeon Houk, Andrew J. Wann, John Butler, George F. Bulman, and his grandson, George W. Bulman, M. R. Lyon, James Austin, Samuel Bean, Robert Morris, Lorenza Ivy, and son, James Poke Ivy, and John Brannum."

4. Isaac Perkins  and his younger half-brother, Jabez, both served with the Confederate Army during the Civil War as Privates in Company G of the Twelfth Regiment, Alabama Infantry.
     "The Twelfth Alabama was organized at Richmond in July1861, and at once moved to the Potomac 'front.'  It was first brigaded under Gen. Ewell of Virginia, who was soon after succeeded by Gen. Rodes of Tuskaloosa.  The regiment lay near Manassas during the fall and winter, and moved to Yorktown in the spring of 1862.  It was under fire there, and suffered lightly at Williamsburg.  At Seven Pines the regiment was in the advance that opened the battle, and stormed the redoubt held by Casey's division, carrying three lines of works by succesive charges, and losing 70 killed and 141 wounded - more than half it had engaged.  It participated to some extent in the other battles before Richmond, and mustered 120 men for duty after the battle of Malvern Hill.  Still under Rodes, and in D. H. Hill's division, and brigaded with the Third, Fifth, Sixth, and Twenty-sixth Alabama regiments, the Twelfth was in the advance into Maryland.  It bore a conspicuous part at Boonsboro, and also at Sharpsburg, losing in these bloody conflicts 27 killed, 69 wounded, and 33 missing out its thinned ranks.  Retiring into Virginia with the army, the regiment wintered on the Rappahannock.  It was under fire but not actively engaged at Fredericksburg; but it was in the resistless column of Rodes at Chancellorsville, where Col. O'Neal led the brigade, and where the Twelfth charged three lines of breastworks, and was badly mutilated.  It skirmished at Brandy Station, and again led the way over the Potomac.  At Gettysburg it was on the extreme left, and pressed the enemy in confusion through the town, then supported the grand assault, and afterwards covered the rear.  After the army retired into Virginia, the Twelfth was engaged in several skirmishes - at Warrenton Springs, Turkey Run &c.  The winter was passed near Orange C.H., and the regiment - Gen. Battle now commanding the brigade - was hotly engaged at the Wilderness and Spottsylvania, and in the continuous skirmishing of Grant's advance movement to Cold Harbor.  The Twelfth then again marched into Maryland when Early threatened Washington.  It participated at Winchester with very severe loss, and in the further operations of the corps in the Valley.  On its return to Petersburg it took part - now in the Gordon's corps - in the fierce struggles around that historic city, and laid down its arms at Appomattox.  Of the original number of 1196, about 50 were at Appomattox; and of the 321 recruits received, about 70 were there.  Nearly 250 died of wounds received in battle, about 200 died of disease, and 202 were discharged.  The battle-flag of the regiment is now in Mobile."  Company G consisted of "North Alabama Sharpshooters"; men primarily from Jackson County.  A.S. Bibb was Captain until the company was reorganized. Captain P.D. Ross was wounded at Gettysburg.   (Alabama Department of Archives and History, www.archives.alabama.gov/referenc/alamilor/12thinf.html, 2015.)
