Captain William W. Perkins and his wife, nee Harriet Newell Thurston, arrived in Madisonville in 1847. Captain Perkins came to Louisiana from Massachusetts (born in New Hampshire) and his wife, Harriet, was from Ohio.

Their possessions were sent to Madisonville via the Ohio and Mississippi rivers on a float boat that the Captain had constructed in Massachusetts. The boards of the float boat were used for the flooring in their newly-built Madisonville home which is now one of the oldest homes in Madisonville.

There were nine children born to Captain and Harriet Perkins. A son, Malichi Perkins, was born between 1850 and 1860.
