My source for Abraham and his descendants is Abraham and descendants from NEHGR v. 50 pg. 35. I don't have access to that right now but I am descended from his son David who's descendants were in Beverly and Bridgewater, MA where they intermarried heaviliy into the Mayflower lines. The father of Isaac and Abraham apparently died in Hampton so it is possible that they both lived there for a time. What I have on the Perkin's line with sources (and a few mistakes) is located at http://users.inna.net/~redden/perkins.htm Anything else I tell you at this time is going off memory as I haven't researched any of this in over a year But it was my understanding that they first settled somewhere down around Plymouth Colony.

nobody knows what Susanna's last name was. It was not Susanna Wise daughter of Humphrey Wyeth/Wise. That has pretty much been proven according to researchers. Isaac's brother Abraham did married Mary Wythe who was a daughter of /Humphrey Wythe and thus the confusion. Somewhere along the line someone apparently made the discovery that one of Humphrey Wythe's daughters married one of the Perkins brothers and assumed it was Susanna and Isaac. for some informaiton on Lydia Perkins you might want to check out the book "The Quaker Invasion of Massachusetts" which is online in PDF form at:http://www.digital-antiquities.com Paul ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Kantzer" <[email protected]> To: "Paul Redden" <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, November 18, 2000 2:40 PM Subject: Re: [PERKINS] Lydia PERKINS > Paul; Are you saying that Isaac's wife name was Susanna Wythe?

Hi Could anyone help me with these people? Thomas Perkins and Margaret Churchan were married 27 Aug 1811 in Licking Ohio Thomas' parents were probably Thomas Perkins and Mary Trigg.

I've been studying a microfilm of the 1910 Census for South Hadley, Hampshire Co., Mass. and found the following information which might be useful to someone: Edith B.

Hi Perkins one and all, Does anyone out there know the author's name (beyond "Indian Elder") for that beautiful piece of wisdom recently posted on the Perkins List? Or is it by that ubiquitous author named Anonymous? I gave a copy to someone who asked me its source so thought I'd take a chance to see if anyone knows. Curiously, Nancy

http://www.historiclakes.org/Timelines/timeline1.html says: "Relative quiet settles on the lakes as far as military engagements are concerned. Both sides are feverishly preparing for the inevitable confrontation that lies ahead. The French continue their construction of the massive new works at Fort Carillon, while the British continue fortifying the head of Lake George. At Lake George a massive fleet of Bateau's is constructed, along with two small sloops. There are skirmishes between Roger's Rangers and the French, on the lake and on shore." This was a lull. In '55 (soon-to-be) Sir William Johnson and General Lyman defeated the French and Indians under General Dieskau at Lake George. Among others, Col. Williams (whose will left the funds to start Williams College at Williamstown, MA) and Hendrick, a renowned Mohawk chief, died during the first part of the battle. In '57, Montcalm took Fort William Henry from the under-manned Col. Monroe who was hung out to dry by the cowardly General Webb who cooled his heels at Fort Edward knowing what lay in store for Monroe and his troops (See Cooper's "Last of the Mohicans.") Your best bet would seem to be anything you can find on Rogers's Rangers. Since he was a New Hampshire man, I would expect that the larger libraries in NH and eastern MA would be a place to start. Regards, Bill Carr Ballston Lake, Saratoga County, NY P.S. Does any out there have and info on one or more individuals named Ephraim Perkins, Maine, late 1700's through about 1850?
