Comments Don Fisher says: James is apparently the son of David Councilor. Mother's name Hattie is new to me. Location of birth in Sumpter (Martinsville?) with home in Huron (Belleville?) makes one ask if the child was born at Hattie's mother's home. Right off the cuff I don't see any likely Dean, Durham, Miller, or Perkins candidates for Hattie, though some parts of all four families lived in Sumpter.

Comments Geo. is listed as female. From the 1880 census, this might be Georgeania, age 7. Script perhaps read it Geo.A.L.L. instead of Georgeania? We have seven names of children of Mitchell/Martha, but there are family reports that there were as many as 11.

Comments Don Fisher says: At Romulus, Annie B. Perkins (dau. of Perry and Sally) is buried with them. She died 9 Feb 1890 at age 7y 11m. This puts her birth at Mar 1882. Hmmmm. Have seen no other references to Nathan. Maybe 31 Mar 1883 was a bad day for the clerk doing the recording.

Comments Don Fisher says: I have no family records for a son named Willie. This birth date is exactly the same as the family records for the birth of Nell Perkins, who married Lorenzo Hix. Though there is no explaining the "male" unless it is a scribal copying error, the letters of Nell or Nellie might look a lot like Willie. (My grandmother used to call her Nellie.)
