There is a history about Benjamin Perkins at:
http://mark-bodell.net/barton_histories/pdf/Ben%20Perkins.pdf

Note

Benjamin and Mary Ann raised Caroline Cordilia Thurston, daughter of Mary Isom and Smith B. Thurston, as Cordilia was born 11 Feb 1873, shortly after the death of their first son William and her mother died eleven days after her birth. See The Perkins Family History by Lyman De. Platt.

Note

Conflict on baptismal date: LaNell Stringham has 28 Sep 1879. This is the date of Benjamin and Mary Ann's re-baptism by R. W. Heyborne, as they wanted to renew their covenants before going across the Hole in the Rock to San Juan. See The Perkins Family History by Lyman De Platt pg. 56.
Also Platt De Lyman notes that the TIB has his baptismal date as 4 Oct 1859, but 4 Oct 1866 is probably more accurate. See pg. 46 He says his father baptized him.

Note

He sailed from Liverpool on 21 Jun 1867 on the Manhatten under the direction of Archibald N. Hill arriving on 4 July 1867. They boarded a train at Williamsburg, New York. From North Platte he went by ox team on 1 Aug with Leonard C. Rice as the company captain. But he left the train at Echo canyon to return as a teamster to bring other saints across. This didn't work well so he went on a company under the direction of William S. Seeley from Laramie City. See pages 48-50 in Perkins Family History.

Note

Ben and Mary Ann were sealed by Heber C. Kimball
In his life time he worked on three temples. Manti, St. George and ?
