PERKINS, George Clement, a Senator from California, USA; born in Kennebunkport, York County, Maine, August 23, 1839; had limited educational advantages; at the age of twelve went to sea as a cabin boy; followed the sea for several years; subsequently engaged in banking, milling, mining, farming, ranching, whaling, and in operating steamships on the coasts of California, USA, Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, Alaska, and Mexico; member, California St.ate senate 1869-1876; Governor of California, USA 1879-1883; unsuccessful Republican candidate for the USA Senate in 1886; appointed in 1893 and subsequently elected as a Republican to the USA Senate to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Leland Stanford; reelected in 1897, 1903 and 1909 and served from July 26, 1893, to March 3, 1915; on account of ill health was not a candidate for reelection; chairman, returned to his home in Oakland, Calif., and lived in retirement until his death there on February 26, 1923; interment in Mountain View Cemetery. He returned home at the age of fifteen and spent six months in school, when he once more went on the watery highways and worked before the mast. In the course of these journeyings he arrived in San Francisco in 1855, on the clipper ship Galatea.
He went to Sacramento and then to Butte and Plumas counties, and for two years tried his luck in mining, with poor success. Teaming and lumbering were his next ventures, then working in a store. He became interested in the Bank of Butte County, built the Ophir;Oroville flour mills, acquired mining interests and constructed sawmills, and after the hard and meager returns of his youthful years began to develop rapidly into the master of many and important enterprises. In 1872 he formed a partnership with Captain Charles Goodall, the firm known as Goodall, Nelson and Perkins, from which Captain Nelson Retired in 1876, and it has been known as Goodall, Perkins and Company to this day. This firm has been one of the leaders in developing the transportation interests of the state, and has for a number of years controlled the most extensive business on the coast, extending from Alaska to Mexico and employing two thousand men. The firm is largely interested in the Pacific Whaling Company and other corporations. Mrr Perkins is also largely interested in other lines of enterprise. He is a director of the First National Bank of San Francisco, a director of Central Trust Company and Central Bank of Oakland, director of the Bank of Butte County, of the Pacific Steam Whaling Company, of the Arctic Oil Works, etc.
In the 1850 census, in Gallena, Jo Daviess County, Illinois, Nancy Deck, 33, born in Michigan, was enumerated with Margiana Deck, 15, born in Michigan, and Jane Hewit, 20, born in Maine.
A. P. Boynton, 32, (1828) a jeweller, was enumerated with Margiana Boynton 23 (1837 born Ohio), Albert 12 (1848), Florence 9 (1851), and Alice 5 (1855). This was likely Margiana, with a husband who had children from a previous marriage, although daughter Alice could have been hers. Margiana did declare in Chicago in 1900 that she had had one child still living, but the child was not with her. This same family, minus Margiana, was enumerated in 1870 in Chicago: Andrew 42, Albert 21, Florence 17, and Alice 13
Andrew Boynton married Margiana Andrews in 1854 in Galina, Illinois. After she left him the family moved to Chicago, and by 1880 A. P. Boynton had a new wife Abbie (b. PA abt 1840) and still had in the household dau. Florence Boynton, unmarried. I did not find son Albert at that time. I did not find any of the family in 1900 (however, Andrew, I have found, was still alive). Alice either died or was married between 1870 and 1880. I searched pretty thoroughly and did not find her as Alice Boynton in 1880.
Margiana Whiting b. 1831 Michigan, Neighbor in 1870 census Oroville. Whiting is middle name of mother's husband.
CLAIMING A FORTUNE. Galena Daily Gazette > 16 August 1892
A Former Galena Lady Claims an Estate in San Francisco---A Romantic Tale. The older residents of Galena, Illinois have many distinct recollections of Mrr. and Mrs A. P. Boynton, as facts connected with their domestic infelicities were not unfrequently themes of general remark Mrr. Boynton kept a jewelry store in the building now occupied by M. Keating and his wife occupied a portion of the store with a stock of millinery goods. The family had their living quarters above the store. They were finally divorced, and after leaving Galena Mrr. Boynton engaged in the jewelry business in Chicago, opening a store on. State street, and his sign over the door can be seen there still. He speedily re-married, it being the third time. Mrs. Boynton, who was a woman of superb appearance, soon became Mrs. Shirek, and lived in ease and luxury for a time in Chicago, where Mrr. Shirek was engaged in business. In 1886 the Shireks left Chicago and went to California, USA, and now Mrs. Shirek, it seems, has set up her claim to the estate of Eli A. Andrews, a wealthy old gentleman who died intestate and apparently heirless in San Francisco in January last. The San Francisco Chronicle publishes a long article pertaining to the case, from which we extract the following-: "There will soon be added to the probate records of this county a case that lacks few of the interesting elements of modern romance. It is the claim of Mrs. Samuel Shirek to the estate of Eli A. Andrews, and she is preparing proofs of her identity as Andrews' legitimate daughter, and the narrative embodied in these proofs is at least curious. For forty years Andrews was a constant resident of this state. During that time he formed many close friendships, but even his most confidential acquaintances had no reason to suspect that he was a married man. He passed as a bachelor and frequently remarked that he was without living kin. He said he was born in Wales and came direct from that country to the Pacific coast. Fruit-growing in Sonoma county was his occupation until about five years ago, when he sold his ranch property and with the proceeds erected handsome flats on Clay street. No will was found and the public administer took charge of the estate. Mrs. Shirek says: "Eli A. Andrews was my father. In 1834 he married my mother in Detroit, Wayne, Michigan, USA and in 1838 1 was born in Pontiac, in the same state. Shortly afterward we moved to Chicago, where my father deserted us in 1841, leaving no clew as to his destination. My mother became Mrs. Coburn in 1852 and in 1857 Mrr. Coburn died. My mother kept a hotel at Oroville, Cal., and regularly sent me San Francisco papers. It was one of those papers that led to my father's whereabouts. I was casually glancing over its local news columns and my attention was attracted by the name of "Eli A. Murray." The item stated that a man of that name had been awarded a prize for fruit grown upon his ranch at Sonoma. I immediately wrote to mother, instructing her to follow up the clew. That was in 1879. My mother became satisfied from a description she obtained of him that he was her husband. The couple were brought together by Lawyer Dameron and he was present during their interview. They concluded to live apart. In 1886 my husband and I came here. My father soon learned from my mother that I was here and visited me. My mother died in October. Later I was prostrated and when convalescing I picked up a month old neWroclaw, Silesia, Polandaper and there saw the announcement of my father's death and that his estate was in the hands of the public administrator. "The claim of kinship will be contested. The dead man's friends are preparing to employ additional counsel. James A. White said: 'The Shirek claim will be fought. For over forty years Andrews was intimately associated with our family. He was a simple-minded, honest old gentleman, and stated frequently that he came straight from Wales to California, USA.* Believing that the claim of Mrs. Shirek has no foundation, Mrr. White is following up slight clews left to a suppositious will. "Near the bell" was the only intimation the old man had ever given about the location of his papers. Carpenters armed with hammers and screw-drivers made an examination of the walls and partitions, but no papers were found. If no heir is established the property will escheat to the state.
