Rev. Robert Johnstone Miller, son-in-law of John Perkins, made the
following entry in an old Church of England Prayer Book, now in the pos-
session of Mrs. Carter Beverly Harrison of Lenoir, N. C, great-great-grand-
daughter of Parson Miller:
John Perkins, of Lincoln county, State of North Carolina, son of Elisha Perkins, of the State of Virginia, was born in Virginia, on the fifteenth day of September, 1733, A. D., and departed this mortal life on Friday morning at 5 minutes past 7 o'clock, the thirteenth day of April, 1804, aged 70 years and 7 months, wanting two days.[2]
This source also gives excerpts of an interesting tale of John Perkins' life, career, marriage and wealth from the book "Gentleman" John Perkins
By W.W. Scott.
