Sarah Perkins (cc1792 -) married EliPerkins.Ref: Oregon in 1844 compiled by Stephenie Flora: Sally Hull (1789-1876): m'd 1809 Eli Perkins; d/o Matthew andMargaret (Wyman) Hull; settled Yamhill Co; buried in Masonic Cemetery, Lafayette, Yamhill Co, OR.Ref: New York Biographical Sketches: “Eli Perkins b. 1786 MA. Son of (Joel & Mehitable (Brooks) Perkins). Hewas listed in the 1810 NY Census at Warsaw, Genesee Co. His wife Sarah ‘Sally’ (Hull) b. 1789 VT. In 1820-1830they resided at Perrysburg, Cattaraugus Co. NY. This couple later moved to Lafayette, Indiana and then to Yamhill,Oregon by 1844.” It would appear the preceding references place this Eli Perkins in Oregon prior to 1846. So, it isuncertain whether Thornton’s “Mr. Perkins” would bear the forename Eli.(154) Ref: Wikipedia Encyclopedia: , a.k.a. Xerxes the Great, was an Ancient Persian King (486-465 BC).(155) Thornton is alluding to Mt. Athos in Macedonia.(156) Ref: Pleasant Grove Cemetery ~ James Campbell ~ part of the marion….: The maiden name of Mrs. JamesCampbell was Margaret Almira Finley. James Campbell was born April 6, 1807 in Greenville, KY, and died in theWaldo Hills, OR 1872. He married Margaret Almira Finley in Missouri where the family had emigrated fromKentucky. Children of James & Margaret: Mary, (died. in Deschutes Country en-route to Oregon Territory);Margaret A. (married. J. H. Bridges); Sarah J. (married Wiley Denny); Elizabeth H. (married Rev. D. M. Keene);Virginia (married. (1) S.J. Condit. (2) E.E. Mc Kinney, Finley (married Martha Baker). Rice (possibly nevermarried). After James Campbell came to Oregon, he married a woman from Linn County and after two children wasborn to this union, a divorce was granted, this couple being the first to be recorded in Marion County. However, theyafterward re-married. Susan M. Woodin was a daughter of this second marriage.(157) See Notes (58), (60) & (201).(158) On August 21st Thornton states, “At noon we passed the grave of Mr. [Sutton] Burns, who died at 3 o’clock,a.m., and was buried at 10 o’clock, a.m” Then on November 15th, he says, “Upon inquiring of Mr. [William]Kirkqendall of who they were, he informed me that they were Mr. and Mrs. [Mary M.] Newton, and Sutton Burns,who were probably endeavoring to come up with us, in order that they might accompany us into the settlement.” Itwould appear that Thornton resurrected Sutton Burns from the grave? Or; perhaps he neglected to say, “and Mrs.Sutton Burns.”Ref: Emigrants to Oregon in 1846 compiled by Stephenie Flora: Sutton Burns (___-1846): killed by Indians on Aug21, 1846, left wife and 3 children.(159) Ref: Wiktionary: is a hard, porous, dense, dark volcanic rock composed chiefly ofplagioclase, pyroxene, and olivine (often having a glassy appearance) that is formed by solidified lava, and whichcan be found around a volcano’s crater.(160) : synonymous to re-gurgitations.CHAPTER IX
