Pat, You have made my day--Heck!-- My whole week! Your response was an unexpected surprise, and let me just say THANK YOU! I have been looking for the family of Susanna PERHAM for a very long time. I'd found a Perham book with William and Susanna (POWERS) PERHAM listed having a daughter named Susan, but could not connect her. My Susanna was married to John HARVEY in 1751, just as you have it listed below. I descend from John and Susanna through their son John, Jr. Through that book, I have information about the Perhams, but nothing on the Powers family. I will try to pursue them through resources at my library, but I would love to know your sources, and would love to get copies if possible. Do you have more on the Harveys? I know that John, Sr was the son of Captain John Harvey, who was the captain of a British Frigate and was killed fighting the Spanish off the coast of Cuba about 1743. Do you know his wife's name? I am interested in any information you have on the HARVEY family that might help me track them down. I believe that Captain Harvey brought the family to Newburyport, MA, and that they went north to NH after his death. Did they go directly to Derryfield, or was there an intermediate stop? I hope this makes us cousins, but you'll need to point out the connection for me. Again, thanks for responding to my query. I can only hope I might have a future opportunity to return the favor.
