Born to Charles Perkins and Freda Johnson - when she was 6 months old her mother died and her father took her older brother Milo Perkins and moved to Lansing, leaving Doris with the neighbors, George Colson and Anna Buskirk Colson.

George and Anna divorced and George moved away and remarried and had another family. My grandma remembers her grandma Colson (Anna) but not George and Doris never mentioned George to me.

Her birthdate is not verified as the birth records burned. When she applied for Social Security she had to jump through hoops to prove she even existed due to this.
