[NI02481] I was 8 years old when my daddy, Ode died. My birthday was in Aug. & he died in Sept. with Typhoid Fever. I think if Grandpa Fitzgerald hadn't come & moved us out, we might all have died.
Daddy was a very religous man, we always went to church, he also did some Lay Preaching.
Since daddy was also a farmer we had cows, sheep, horses, chickens & turkeys. We also had plenty of butter.
I remember we lived in a big, nice home with a big barn. The land was given to my dady by grandpa Fler, his daddy.
I went to the fiel one day to bring my daddy some water. We had a cown named Strawberry. Strawberry picked me up with her horns & lifted me into the air and threw me into a brier batch. Daddy heard me hollering & came to the rescue. Daddy took the plow & horse to the house, put a rope around Strawberry's horns & took her to the slaughter pen.

It hurt very deeply when my daddy died. I remember riding to the grave site in a wagon. After daddy died, mama married Dan Jenkins. Things were a whole lot different. The place was sold and we moved to Dan's. We did farming. I remember we stayed home from school many days to pick cotton. Dan also raised sugar cane. I helped make the syrup. It had to be skimmed and when finished, it was put in buckets with lids. Dan also had corn and watermelen. me & my sister, Violet, would plow until dark, even if we had a date. There was a French Market in Covington where we took the watermelen to be about 3 times a week.
Dan bought 4 mules & a grist mill with the money from mama's place. We made corn meal and grits. I remember one day I had on a long black coat trimmed with green velvet; given to me by Aunt Olivia. The coat got caught in the grist mill and it was taking me with it. I had to get out of that coat fast!
The corn was "tolled". This meant the people had to give you so much corn for grinding it. We wound up with about as much corn as the customers had. Redis was about 3 years old then.

There was a race track in Covington where racing was held once a year. I loved riding horses & rode one of Dan's mares to train her. She was always very high strong around Dan and would never stay penned up, but I could do anything with her. Aome young man rode her and won the race one year.

I learned to drive Dan's car when I was 12 years old. I just took it one day. he didn't know I had it. I just went up & down the road.

One Sunday morning when I was about 15 , I packed my 2 dresses; a green flannel & a brown striped flannel; and left home. I went to live with my sister, Bevie, & her husband, Henintz Jenkins. I stayed there about 4 or 5 months. I went to Union Grove School while staying with Bevie. I also went to Pilgrim Rest. I stayed with Mr. & Mrs. Magee and finished the 9th grade. Aunt Olivia sent money, clothes & shoes & I rode the train to New Orleans to live with her. I lived there 2 or 3 years. Me & one of Aunt Olivia's daughters went to Night School and finished the 10th grade in New Orleans. (Aunt Olivia lived on Banks Street.)

After Willie & I were married and had childrten, I remember Grandpa Fler stayed all night with us one night. JImmy & Harold cried al night because Grandpa was snoring and they didn't know what it was. They were scared.

My dear cousin-in-law

William Edmundson appears in the story about John Morris' converting to
Quakerism.

William Edmundson seems to be the founding father of the Quaker movement in
Colonial Virginia. He was sent there by George Fox, the founder of the
Society of Friends in England. And Fox himself seems to have gone to North
Carolina. Somewhere in there, John Morris converted to Quakerism.

Here's a quote from Fox's autobiography that I found.

After these two general meetings, we parted company, dividing ourselves
unto several coasts, for the service of Truth. James Lancaster and John
Cartwright went by sea for New England; William Edmundson and three Friends
more sailed for Virginia, where things were much out of order; John
Burnyeat, Robert Widders, George Pattison, and I, with several Friends of
the province, went over by boat to the Eastern Shore,[204] and had a
meeting there on the First-day.

western horizon, through Cumberland Gap and across Kentucky, traveling to the head water of the Blur River, reaching Salem on July 7, 1815. After the death of
Mary Griffin, Joshua Trueblood, the uncle of James Trueblood, was made the guardian of James. It was through the help and sanction of Joshua, that James
liberated and sent north three slaves left to him by his father. James and Betsy's wagon was drawn by one horse. Joshua impressed James so much by his anti
slavery, and the evils of it, that James would show his opposition to slavery by not eating or drinking any products that came by the way of slavery.
James and Betsy bought a farm about a mile and a half from the Blur River Friends Church. The house was part loga and part common frame, all the work being
done by James. He was skilled with all kinds of farm tools. This ability was especially valuable to him because of his refusal to use nothing made by slave labor. The
farm had a large grove of sugar maples. he raised flax that made linen goods, and wool products. He had vats that tanned and made his own leather and shoes. In
1863, James owned a large fine carriage horse that most of the family could go out and bridle in the fields.

Dear Alberta,

Pursuant to our phone conversation regarding the possiblities of the John LYONS (Sr) house and the adjoining LYONS -Simon Cemetary in Acadia Parish not far from south of LYONS Point and just north of Bayou Queue de Tortue, I am writing this letter.

It is very exciting to learn that as a US landmark, this house and cenetary area as important historically to the history of America as well
as to the LYONS family. Owing to the fact, this land ( the orginal LYONS plantation ) was owned by the native Attakapas Indian tribe and their descendants still live in and around Acadia Parish, it is very significant the John LYONS (Sr.) was one of the first Colonials to have
purchased land from a tribe of native American Indians. Therefore, as I understand you, there is the distinct possibilitiy of receiving
assistance (in the form of hard cash) in aiding us (The LYONS famiy ) to preserve for history and prosterity.....The John LYONS (SR) residence and cemetary.

Without question now, it is absolutely mandantory that we establish the authenticity of the John LYONS (SR) house and cemetary. Therefore, I am appointing a special committee of Charter Members of the LYONS and Associated Memebrs, United entitled The John LYONS Historical Site Investigation Committee which shall be composed of the following members: Mr. Wallce Hargrave, Chairman; Mr. Norwood Marcy Lyons, Miss Mary Elizabeth Sanders, and yourself, Mrs. Alberta Rousseau Ducote.
Additional members could be appointed, if the the need arises.

The purpose of theis committee will be to determine if the John LYONS (SR.) house is authentic and was erected prior to 1834. Also, if proven authentic to determine what to recommend to the LYONS and Associated Families, United in the form of postive action. Enclosed you will find a copy of an original survey map amde in 1819 of the location of the house involved. It is hoped that together with other data obtained from either the files of St. Landry Parish Clerk of Court or the Acadia Parish Clerk of COurt, a positive authentic determination can be resolved about the house and cemetary by your efforts.

A report should be completed and made to me no later than Friday, February 15, 1974. Thank you and God Bless.......

Sincerely,

Ted Lyons

[NI08216] Allen Jefferson Perkins Sr. was known as the "Father of Westlake".
The co-owner with Charles Miller of one of the most progressive sawmills in the area, Perkins donated 160 acres of land to be subdivided for the formation of the Town of Westlake.
He donated the property for the First Baptist Church, and at one time was the sole owner of almost three continuous miles of land in Westlake.
Born in 1836 in the little village of Perkins, six miles south of DeQuincy, Allen was the son of Rees Washington Perkins, who had settled there in 1824 and was instrumental in forming the Antioch Primative Baptist Church at Big Woods in 1838. His mother was Vianna Coward, daughter of Hardy Coward.
Not too much is known about Allen's childhood. But in 1854, when he was 18 years old, he met and fell in love with Margaret Andrus, d. o Claiborne and Ellen Lyons Andrus who moved to Choupique from St. Landry Parish in 1840.
Margaret was 16 when she married Allen. They settled in the Perkins area and he worked at logging and farming until 1861, when his life was interrupted by the Civil War. Allen joined the Confederate Army and left for battle.
After he returned from the war, he entered the sawmill business.
He also operated scooners, carrying supplies to and from Westlake. These scooners went as far west as Galveston and as far east as New Orleans.
My grandmother told me that she remembered her grandfather bringing back trunks of clothes, shoes, hats, and undergarments to clothe his children and grandchildren. She said it was quite an event somewhat like Christmas.
I have an oval occasional table made of solid walnut that he brought back to his wife from Galveston.
In 1870 Allen became close frimeds with Charles Miller. They joined in a partnership known as the Perkins and Miller Sawmill. The partnership bought the W B Morris Mill south of Westlake, and expanded it to one of the largest mills in the area.
Allen and Margaret had six children. One daughter, Catherine Lavonia, m Charles P Hampton. There were five sons. Dr Allen J Perkins, Jr., m Pearl Snyder, Rees W Perkins m. Fredericka Goss, Claiborne Perkins m Nancy Kirkman, William Felix Perkins m. Katherine Munns and Charles Braxton Perkins m Opal Savage.
Allen Perkins was an alderman and owned a lot of property in Westlake and Lake Charles. In 1875 he bought a large tract of land between the lakefront and Ryan Street which became known as Margaret's Place.
Dr Allen Perkins III says that the grandchildren called it Margaret's pasture.
Allen and Margaret built their home a short distance west of where Bolton Ford was (on the Lake) in the same area where the Lock Paret home is today.
Pithon Coulee ran near the Perkins home and Allen would go back and forth to his mill across the lake in one of his mill boats, tying it up in the coulee in Lake Charles. There was a little foot bridge over that coulee. The grandkids kept a flat boat at the foot of the coulee on Ryan Street and could take it from there into the lake.
The old Perkins home was torn down in the late 1930's or early 40's and the Paret hame was built.
Lawrence T (Pinkie) Perkins said that he read accounts about A J Sr building the first railroad in Calcasieu Parish. It was used exclusively for hauling logs from the forests to the sawmills. He built it in 1892, and it was called the Calcasieu and Vernon Railway. It began at White Bluff on Hickory Branch Creek, north to Westlake, and eventually reached Leesville. He also said that the Perkins Miller Sawmill complex in Westlake included company houses, because my mother and dad lived in one of them after they were married.
Allen and his family lived near the little village of Perkins on the West Fork until 1875, when he moved his family to Lake Charles for better
education facilities. Until that time he made the daily trip to Perkins & Miller Sawmill by horseback or wagon, over rugged trails through the woods and either used the Anthony Ferry or piloted one of his own small boats to cross the Houston River. After 1875, when he lived in Lake Charles on the lakefront he had a choice of going up North Ryan Street and around the river to Horman's Ferry at Bagdad, or he could cross the lake in a sawmill boat. The first bridge was not built until 1916. That was 21 years after he died.
During the time Perkins and Miller had their sawmill, a historian named Perrin wrote about the small village of Westlake as "having several nice residences and quite a number of comfortable little cottages. It has a large mill - Perkins and Miller - the store of A J Perkins, Sr and the store of W B Norris, as well as the saloon of H Escoubas. There is a Baptist Church and a school of about 30 scholars. Mr. Escoubas is building a very handsome hotel of about 20 rooms there. Besides these, Mr Perkins is the sole owner of almost three continuous miles of land."
In 1892 the journal of Perkins and Miller had an entry which said,
"The officers of Perkins and Miller Lumber Company have agreed to purchase the perkins General Merchandise Store, including buildings, warehouses, store fixtures, safe, in fact everything connected to it except accounts receivable. A sum of $9000 will be paid to A J Perkins Sr. The store's location is bounded on the north side by land owned by Mrs. Anna (W B) Norris on the east side of the Calcasieu River, on the west by property of A J Perkins, Sr, and on the south by Perkins Street." The same journal entry said taht Perkins' "attorney-in-fact" was C P Hampton, who was his son-in-law, and Hampton was taking care of business for Mr. Perkins, so it is assumed that Allen Perkins was ill for a time before his death in May 1895.
It is not known who conducted the funeral for Allen Perkins. There is no record of him as a member of the First Baptist Church in Lake Charles, yet it is known that Margaret Perkins was a member there, and that Allen donated a bell to the church in 1881.
