REV. REV. WILLIAM JOHN2 CRESWICK (WILLIAM1)
was born April 04, 1815 in Croydon, Surrey England, and died November 06,
1895 in Pleasant Mound Illinois. He
married POLLY ANNA SLYE November 06, 1845 in West Lavington England,
daughter of SLY and ELIZABETH. She
was born 1817 in Warminster, Wiltshire England, and died in Clavering
Essex England.
Notes
for REV. REV. WILLIAM JOHN CRESWICK:
Polly
Anna Sly is said to have died at sea on the way to the USA.
His
occupation was that of a traveling preacher. At one point.
Rev. Creswick left his children at the Perkins house hold.
That of John Henry Perkins and Edna Durham.
This is most likely how Anna and Ephriam got together.
Notes
for POLLY ANNA SLYE:
Family
lore states that Polly died at sea and was buried there.
I am checking into this. If
she died at sea then there would be a ships notice and a register in
England of this death.
Another source "Bond Co. Gen.
Soc." States that she
died in Kentucky prior to coming to Illinois.
Another source states that she
died at sea and William re-married a woman in New York city.
It also states that it was this woman that died in Ky.
UMPH...The mystery of family.

Notes
for ANNA MATILDA CRESWICK:
Anna
came to Pleasant Mound about 1852. She
first was located in Kentucky and then on to Bond County Illinois.
She is listed in the 1860 census as living in the home of John
Henry Perkins and Edna Durham Perkins.
John was known to take in anyone who needed a place to live. This
may have been how she came to know Ephriam and married him.
Annie as she was known was musically
inclined. In the position of
Robin Perkins Briggs is an organ still in beautiful condition that was
owned by Annie. Janice Kay
Perkins of Smithboro is in position of Annie's cook book.
In this cook book there is a recipe for a salve for a horses eye!
It's in her own hand and badly worn.
Aren't most cookbooks that are good in that condition.
Annie and Ephriam were married by John Crouch MG.

Annie Creswick Perkins
born 7 June 1847 in Clavering Essex Co. England died 15 November 1919 at

Notes
for EPHRAIM PERKINS:
He
is buried in the Maxey cemetery, Bond County Illinois.
He was listed as a Merchant in the 1880 census for Bond County and
was at one time a co-owner of a Store in Pleasant Mound with Elisha
Matthews.
Ephriam

If
Annie has a daughter listed as age 8 in the 1870 census and she is 23 she
was
about
15 years old at the time of the Childs Birth! ( I know you all know how to
do the math but...) Annie and Ephriam were married in 1861. There was a respectable
time frame between marriage and the birth of the child that wasn't my
point. It's that she was 14
at the time of marriage and that is young by any standards.

EAKIN December 12, 1910 in Greenville Court house Greenville Illinois,
daughter of LEMUEL EAKIN and IDA TIBBS.
She was born March 16, 1887 in Pleasant Mound Bond County Ill., and
died September 12, 1955 in Pleasant Mound Bond County Ill..
Notes
for BERTRAND DICK PERKINS:
His
head stone reads: Aged 76
years 4 months and 15 days.
Dick
and Ollie lived on the old homestead in Pleasant Mound.
The house was built by John Henry Perkins and Ephraim.
It seems that the home place always went to the baby of the family
upon the death of the father.
Dick
and Ollies son Darel was born there.
He
did a lot of work with fruit orchard and the grafting of different types
of apple trees in order to create the perfect apple tree.
There
was a story that my Uncle Roger L. Perkins told me about how
"Dick" always warned them (Dad and Uncle) about putting the old
gas cans on the handle bars of Their bikes.
He (Dick) always said that they could fall and get really hurt and
if that happened they shouldn't expect him to help.
Any way one day my uncle and my Dad saw Dick riding the bike and
wouldn't you know it , he had the gas can on the handle bars, he hit a
bump and fell. I was told that neither boy ever said a word to him about
it, they just went to him somber faced and helped him up!
I'll bet they wanted to say something don't you?
There
is a wonderful story told to me about Old Dick as I have heard many call
him by a nice of his Myrtle Mae Dothager and her brother.
It goes like this...Old Dick used to like to go fishing ...Not just
any fishing, he liked to do what he called Hogin.
This is fishing in the weeds of the bank of Hurricane creek with
his bare hands. There
were different types of fish available at different times of the year.
Now
when Old Dick would find a fish he would get the most stern look on his
face and up would come his hands with a fish in them.
Another
story goes like this..
Old Dick weighed about 120 pounds soaking wet.
(I don't know if it's true or not but, I was told once that it's
the fat in a person that made them float) I was told by Myrtle Mae Perkins
Dothager who used to fishing with Old Dick and her father Cleo Perkins who
was Dick's Nephew by his brother Oscar,
that Old Dick could float. Myrtle
Mae's brother Lloyd that he had actually seen Old Dick smoke a cigarette
while floating and not even get it wet!
That must have really been something to see!
No
matter what, when they would go fishing or swimming, Old Dick would stick
his big toe in the water and exclaim
"Suffern Tom Cats, That water is Wet!"
To
me that says it all! He must
have been quite the fellow to know!

Notes
for MYRTLE MAE PERKINS:
This
is a transcript of a letter from Myrtle Mae written March 18, 1999
Dear
Sonya-
Yes, I could read your letter-
I enjoyed it. Big
print is much easier.
My
name is Myrtle Mae, accent more on Mae.
A few people call me Myrtle, but, most by both names.
Even though we are new friends, I too feel a close and comfortable
and concerned with you & your family.
There's no explaining it but it might be God's blessing to us both.
I hate to tell you that I was wrong about something----I would like
to be perfect but---I talked this week to my brother in Virginia.
He went fishing with your dad & Darel & Dick (the older)
(Bertrand Perkins) He says that old Uncle Dick always said "Suffering
Tom Cats that water is wet" as he stuck his toe in the water.
I expect he's right because he went more and later than I did.
He's four years younger than me.
I'm sorry to have told you anything wrong.
The rest of the story was the same.
He said for you to call him--he might know other incidents.
He hopes to come to the reunion too>
I hope you & he can be here. I look forward to seeing and
talking with you.
I am sending some of the papers I have.
The charts were sent to me by your father when he was young and
still a mormon. I thin you may already have them.
The others are not well organized but the best I can do now.
Take
care and tell you family hello from me.
Your
Friend,
Myrtle
Mae Dothager.
A
wonderful lady!!! Her brother
she is referring to is Lloyd Perkins of Fredericksburg Virginia.
Notes
for ROBERT DOTHAGER:
Some
information gathered about this family came from the Caylor Family Reunion
that I attended on July 25 1999. This
was at the Mulberry Grove Fire Station.

members! Thank you so much

Notes
for ROGER LEROY PERKINS:
Uncle
Roger was a very jolly man who loved to laugh and he had a very infectious
laugh at that. He enjoyed
hunting and fishing very much. He
provided very well for his family with this and working.
He died in what he would have said was Gods Church.
Out in the middle of a field hunting deer.
His passion.
I
haven't been to very many funerals but, his was one to be remembered.
There were at least 300 people that came to the viewing!
There were so many flowers that it was hard to get them into Aunt
Jan's house after. Uncle Roger was buried
in the Maxey Cemetery out side of Smithboro where his father, Mother and
Brother were buried. I have
very many fond memories of this man.
He was respected and admired by many!
