Minnie was listed as a one year old on the 1870 census for Perrysburg, Cattaraugus, New York. She was living with her parents and siblings Seena and Addison.[1] She was also on the Perrysburg census in 1875 in the household of her widowed father.[2] She was on the census in the household of 24 year old Kitty Perkins in 1880 in Perrysburg.[3]
She was not listed in her sister Gertrude (Perkins) Abbey 1918 obituary so is assumed to have passed away before that date.[4]
