Eda's birthplace:

Though Bill Jobe in the Journal and several Perkins sites lists her birthplace as Ft. Nineveh, Warren Co., LA - there is some questioning that I have regarding this. As of yet, I have NOT been able to find such a place in LA or place Caleb and Sallie there at this time.

I am more inclined to believe one of three things -

If anyone else has any evidence to support either or else a place in MO (which would have been LA territory at the time) - please write me at [email protected]

Biography

Hancock Co., Il History, by Gregg, 1880

"William Glaze is the oldest man in the township at this time, aged 86; and Mrs. Perkins (Eda Jobe) is the oldest woman aged 85. She says she came here early enough to have Indians about her door, and to have to hide her meat from the wolves.”

“Mrs. Perkins was the first white woman to reside in McDonough Co.,, Ill. She lived there two years, when she came to this (Hancock) Co.,. She learned to speak the Pottawatomie language, and can still speak the language, though rather broken. She resides at Pilot Grove, in this Co.,, and is in her 84th year."
