I would be grateful for any information about the Daniel PERKINS family that shows up in the 1800 US census in Oneida Co., NY., for Whites Town, NY. I believe this Daniel PERKINS may have been the son of Dr. Richard PERKINS of Bridgewater MA. I am also looking for information about the Samuel NICHOLS family of Whitestown, NY, which shows up in the 1800 US census for Oneida County, NY. He would have been over 45 at the time. I have a g5-mother named Eliza NICHOLS, who married Dr. Richard PERKINS jr. in Whitestown, NY., in 1791. I suspect that my Eliza may have been Samuel Sr.'s eldest daughter. Also showing up in Whitestown and Paris (New Hartford), in the 1800 census, are two other, possibly related families: the David NICHOLS family, and the Samuel NICHOLS jun. family. I would be grateful for any information about these families, particularly the names of Samuel Sr's wife and children. -- Robert Franson Santa Cruz, California rfranson@cruzio.com
