About Mary Jane Perkins
Mary Jane Willis Perkins was born on Jan 28 1841 in Macedonia, Hancock, Illinois (Macedonia is now called Webster). She was the oldest of five children (4 daughters and 1 son) born to William Thomas Willis and Elizabeth Patterson Wilson.
Her sisters and brother were: Ellen Willis (1842-1842) Eveline Lucretia (1844-1917) Margaret Elizabeth (1847-1903) William Patterson Willis (1850-1930)
Mary Jane was sixteen when she became the second wife of William Job Perkins on July 16,1857, in Salt Lake City, Utah. His first wife was Martha (Patty) Perkins-Perkins Mary Jane and William were the parents of Four children.
Andrew Houston (1859-1942) Martha Jane (1862-1862) Eda Elizabeth (1863-1930) Dicy Ray (1867-1910)
William became a successful rancher and stock-man, running cattle on the Kanarraville Mountain in the summer and in the Lowlands around Kanarraville in the winter. William died on October 4, 1869, two and a half months before his fifty-fourth birthday and was buried in the St George, Utah cemetery. After his death, his son Andrew, who had been raised by his fathers first wife, Martha, was told that his real mother was Mary Jane, because Mary Jane needed her 10 year old sons help with the cattle left to her after William died.
About eight and a half years later, Mary Jane caught a cold which gradually turned into pneumonia. She passed away on April 9 1877 in Kanarraville, Utah, from complications of pneumonia. She was only thirty years old. Mary Jane was buried in the Kannarraville cemetery. Her parents were later buried in the same cemetery.
Parts of this history were taken for a history written by Engene H Perkins and Waldo C. Perkins.
