He married Agnes Mary Hamilton. They would eventually have eight children.[2] He represented Cherokee County, AL as a delegate to the Alabama secession convention in early 1861. He represented the state in the First Confederate Congress from 1862-64. Following the war, he was a delegate to the Alabama state constitutional convention in 1875. He was elected to the Alabama State Legislature in 1878.[3] Ralls was actively involved in the Methodist Church and was a noted minister. One of his sons, Hamilton, was also a minister. He died in Gadsden, Alabama, on November 22, 1904, and was buried in Forrest Cemetery in Gadsden.[4] References1. ^{{cite book|last1=DuBose|first1=Joel Campbell|title=Notable Men of Alabama: Personal and Genealogical, Volume 2|date=1904|publisher=Southern Historical Assoc.|page=293|edition=1st|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=5e7gLzzZGioC&pg=PA293&lpg=PA293&dq=john+perkins+ralls&source=bl&ots=gSBe6-6YPt&sig=r99v2MDeFUKSVKGPA96fG2fdesU&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwigv8vF5YHWAhUL9WMKHQGOCmgQ6AEIPzAE#v=onepage&q=john%20perkins%20ralls&f=false|accessdate=31 August 2017}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Ralls, John Perkins}}2. ^WikiTree Ralls genealogy.
