Desc John Perrin

Important information concerning Joseph Perrin as the “possible” father of John Perrin. There seems to be a much stronger possibility that Henry was John’s father. See the research of Carol Randall & Mary Bailey

NOTE: I am updating this website and now is an excellent time to send me corrections or additions!

A Special Note on Sallie D. Hardin

Sallie D. Hardin was the d/o Henry Hardin & Rachel Walker, m. 1796. Henry Hardin was the s/o William “Indian Bill” Hardin & Winifred Holtzclaw (see Desc. Of Henry Holtzclaw)

No one knows for sure what the “D.” in her name stands for however, since people are usually named for their ancestors, I am wondering if her middle name was “DU SAUCHEY” or “DuSauchey”, perhaps being named after her 3rd greatgrandmother.

Father: HENRY HARDIN Grandfather: WILLIAM (INDIAN BILL)HARDIN Great-grandfather: MAJOR JOHN HARDIN Great-great-grandfather: MARK HARDIN Great-great-great-grandparents: MARTIN HARDIN & MADELEINE DU SAUCHEY.

The above picture was taken in Breckenridge Co., KY. The baby on the lap is Sallie Bell, my great-grandmother. She would grow up to marry Grover Cleveland Joplin. The boy next to *Sallie Ann Perrin Pool is Roy Johnson, eldest son of Ada Pool & WH Johnson.

When Ibbie Pool Bell died, Robert married Artemissa Bandy (Missy) who did not want Sallie around. Sallie was raised by her grandmother for awhile and then by her Aunt Ada.

*Sallie Ann Perrin was the d/o Sallie D. Hardin & Wm.H. Perrin (the gentleman with the hat to the upper right). Sallie D. Hardin was the d/o Henry Hardin & Rachel Walker, m. 1796. Henry Hardin was the s/o William “Indian Bill” Harin & Winifred Holtzclaw. (see Desc. Of Henry Holtzclaw)

From: Biographical and Historical Memoirs of Mississippi, Embracing an Authentic and Comprehensive Account of the Chief Events in the History of the State and a Record of the Lives of Many of the Most Worthy and Illustrious Families and Individuals. Vol. 1. Chicago: Goodspeed Publishing Company, 1891. pp. 535-536

“Dr. T. T. Orendorff, a physician and surgeon of Rolling Fork, Miss., was born in Breckinridge county, Ky., on the 11th of April, 1847, and is a son of M. and Mary (Cain) Orendorff, natives of Virginia, born in 1822 and 1826, respectively. Both families removed to Kentucky in an early day, where the young couple was married in 1840, in Breckinridge county, and where Mr.Orendorff died in 1853; his wife still survives him. She is a daughter of Thomas and Ona (Meador) Cain, natives of Virginia, and long since dead; the former was a son of Micajah and Elizabeth (Wilkerson) Cain, and the latter a daughter of Benjamin and Mary H. (Morris) Meador. The Orendorffs were originally from the lower Palatinate, Germany, and were descended from noble ancestry. They were driven from their native country of the Rhine nearly two centuries ago by Louis XIV on account of their religious opinions. They fled to England and eventually made their way to America, the future land of the free and home of the brave, prior to the Revolutionary war. Members of the family settled in Maryland, Virginia and Pennsylvania, and the tradition goes that many of the male members became active soldiers in the war for independence . From these pioneers, representatives have penetrated half the states of the Union, as a family reunion, held at Blooming, Ill., in October, 1886, found representatives present from seventeen states and territories. This fraternal gathering developed many family traits, characteristics and peculiarities, one of which is worthy of note: in all this prolific family not a member of it has ever been known to have been tried in court for a criminal offense. Dr. Orendorff, the subject of this sketch, is the fourth in a family of seven children, five sons and two daughters, all of whom, except the youngest son, Thomas Jesse, are living. He was brought up on a farm and received the benefits of the common schools, finishing off a good English education at the Brandenburg (Kentucky) academy. After leaving school he was for some time employed in a country store, during which time his evenings and leisure hours were occupied in reading medicine. Thus, by energy and perseverance, he was qualified to enter the Kentucky school of medicine at Louisville, in the fall of 1868, attending his first course of lectures. He then spent eighteen months in one of the city hospitals, after which, in 1871, he graduated from the Kentucky school of medicine. Immediately after being graduated he went to Mississippi and located in the Deer Creek valley, Sharkey county, where he has practiced his profession ever since and where, by that courtesy and politeness which are his strongest characteristics, and a close attention to his patrons, he has won flattering success. In 1880 he made a trip to Europe and spent the year in visiting the hospitals of Edinburgh, London, Paris, Berlin, etc., and in making a tour of most of the countries of the old world. In 1882, in addition to his medical practice he engaged in cotton planting, and is now the owner of some two thousand acres of fine land in the Deer Creek valley, in Sharkey county, on the cultivated portion which he raises about eight hundred bales of cotton annually. He is also the owner of some valuable property in Memphis, Florence, Ala., and in El Paso, Tex. All of his possessions have been won by his own individual efforts and persevering industry. Although he has often been urged to run for office, he has invariably refused, party politics having no charms for him. Dr. Orendorff’s brothers and sisters are as follows: Prof. Henry, who is a practicing physician, holds a chair in the Kentucky school of medicine, from which he graduated in 1871, and in which he has been a professor for twelve years; Capt. C. C. is connected with the Southern Palace Car company in Memphis, Tenn.; Edmonia B. was educated at Bethlehem convent in Kentucky, and is a cultured and accomplished lady. She is the wife of Col. W. H. Perrin, connected with the Louisville Courier-Journal and one of the ablest writers; William A. is a cotton planter in Sharkey county, s was Thomas J. until his death, which occurred in March, 1891; Lena, who married the late Dr. Edward S. Crosier, of New Albany, Ind., an accomplished scholar, scientist and physician, and for seventeen years in charge of the surveyor’s office in the United States customhouse at Louisville, Ky., and also for years a professor in the Louisville Medical college. Dr. Orendorff is one of the most progressive and public spirited men in Sharkey county, and makes an intelligent and judicious use of his means and ability. His knowledge of matters in general is broad and comprehensive, and, being a close observer, his extensive travel in this country and Europe has been of material benefit to him. He is a member of the Mississippi State Medical association, and of the fraternity of A. F. & A. M., of the Knights of honor and of the American Legion of Honor.
