note: the area of Milford Twp Knox Co and the Bennington Twp Licking county line is seperated at the cross road of Lock, the villege is in both townships and the Milford township house still stands right on the line. some of these Perkins families were members of the Milford Church of Christ formerly Simmons Church
located just north of Lock in Milford Twp Knox Co Ohio. there is a good listing of Perkins in the old records of this church, Still active with a new building in the year 2000 still going strong. and if you are researching any of these families I might suggest that you make a visit to this Church and go take a look at the old records they published a Sesquicentennial Celebration book called through the years in 1990 contact Neil Moreland minister there. he is very helpful.
