"Constantine Perkins was one of the earliest settlers of this county. He was born in Knox county, Tennessee, in 1792, and was graduated at Cumberland College. About that time he volunteered against the Creeks, and acquitted himself with gallantry at Emuckfau and Talladega. He then read law in Nashville, and became State's attorney for a judicial district. In 1819 he came to Tuscaloosa, and the same year was elected district solicitor over Mr. S. L. Perry. He held this office till 1825, when he became attorney general. In 1832 he represented Tuscaloosa in the lower house, and from 1834 till his death in the upper. He died Sept. 17, 1836. Major Perkins was of large frame and distinguished bearing. He was an able lawyer and generous and hospitable citizen. he married a daughter of Judge Hume R. Field, a Crawford elector for president in this State in 1824, and left a son, who became a physician. One of his daughters married Hon. Matthew W. Lindsay of Morgan, attorney general in 1839; a second married Mr. Thomas Walthall of Perry.
