Those who have upgraded to IE 4.0 be careful. They have defaulted to HTML format for mail and plain text for news groups. I was reading the defaults under the options menu, saw the 'plain text' selected for news groups and didn't automatically make the distinction between the newsgroups and email. To change the default go to the tools menu and choose options. Choose the the send tab and make sure the radio button next to 'Plain Text' is chosen under 'Mail sending format' then click 'Apply' at the bottom and 'OK' This should help a lot of the problems with the list servers and digest mode.

I checked the Nicholas Perkins of VA book and did not locate them. There was no Garfield or Mary Francis Todd. There was no Mary or Francis Todd in the book. There were several Todds in it.

According to The Descendants of Nicholas Perkins of Virginia by Hall, James' Parents were Christian Perkins bon Aug 7, 1757 in Goochland Co, Va.Sometimes listed as Christopher Perkins. Wife's name hasn't been determined. Christian's Parents were William Perkins who married Feb 23, 1756 in Goochland Mrs Susannah (Holland)Massey. The Douglas Register states that he was from New Kent. He died in 1813 in Patrick Co Va. William's Parents were William who was baptized in Aug 25, 1706 in New Kent Co. Va died 1755 in New Kent, Married 1. Isavbella Christian, 2. Mary Otey. It is believed that William is the child of the first marriage. William's parents were William of New Kent and wife Elizabeth Mr. Hall states that the relationship to Nicholas Perkins is not known if any at all..His source for the early records is the Vestry Book and Register of St Peter's Parish, New Kent and James City Counties, Va ed. by CG. Chamberlayne. Hope this gives you some clues..... Carol > >My 3rd ggrandfather JAMES PERKINS b. 1786 (VA?) (m. Nancy Jennings, >2/27/1810). James died 1858 Garrard Co.

Hi: See some of you are veteran researchers in this maze of many Perkins'. There certainly is a hayload of us. Can't guess what it must be to research Smith. Plan to post what little I have, after all these years of digging, and to post a pre-civil war Perkins will, if it might help someone else. Meantime: Any of you Gurus searching or know any tidbits at all regarding PERKINS in GARRARD COUNTY, KENTUCKY ??? My 3rd ggrandfather JAMES PERKINS b. 1786 (VA?) (m. Nancy Jennings, 2/27/1810). James died 1858 Garrard Co. KY and is buried alongside wife and one son (William) in the "Perkins Cemetery" on land he had owned at that time. Am lost on going back any further than ancestor James Perkins and Nancy Jennings Perkins. Anyone have any words of wisdom for me? Karleene in Oregon karly@pioneer.net

Paul, Took a stroll over to your Perkins pages. What a lot of work in a short time. It is very well done. I am getting my Hodson line caught up, and still have Perkins (lots) to sort and enter. Will be checking back with you when I get it done - Life does get in the way of my Genealogy at times. Congratulations on a very fine site. Carla.

I have just updated my Perkins page. I now have a 15 generation report on the what I have for the descendants of Thomas Perkins and Alice Kebble ( Many of them Quaker). It includes such notable people as Samuel Adams -- brewer, statesman, Governor and signer of the Declaration of Independance, James Byron Dean, famous Actor and cult figure from the 50's, and US Presidents Richard Nixon, Millard Filmore,Calvin Coolidge, and Franklin Roosevelt. It is not linked to from my home page and is only temporary at this point. You can see it at http://users/inna.net/~redden/perkins.htm I have to warn you, it's about 337K and 54 pages in word so it may take a few minutes to load. If you check it out drop me a line and tell me what you think. Paul Redden redden@inna.net View my family history & antique photo page at: http://users.inna.net/~redden

PERKINS emmigrants from UK + Ireland I am maintaining a WWWeb page dedicated to emmigrants from the UK or Ireland with the surname PERKINS. The URL is; http://www.uea.ac.uk/~e850/perkins/genealgy/emgrate/em_perk.htm The purpose of this page is to hopefully re-unite branches of PERKINS families. Dead-ends on family trees may be the result of emmigration. For those of us whose ancestors remained in the UK, researching these dead-ends presents us with no option but impossibly long searches through usually un-indexed sources. For descendents of UK emmigrants, the precise place of origin is often not known (particularly for pre-1837 emmigrants when there was no civil registration of births in the UK). And for all of us is a lack of a central list of known emmigrants. Hence this web page. It is intended to list only actual emmigrants, not their ancestors or descendants. In the case of a family emmigrating, each person can be listed. This page is to be restricted to PERKINS emmigrants proven to have been BORN in the UK or Ireland. This site is not for strays within UK + Ireland (although eventually I may expand it in that way), nor for posting queries on UK/Ireland lines that come to apparent dead-ends. No surname variants (e.g. Perkings or Perkin) have been included. Formats for submitting information on known PERKINS emmigrants can be found on the web page. Andy Perkins a.perkins@uea.ac.uk

General Register Office (England and Wales) - PERKINS extracts Very slowly I am extracting entries of the surname PERKINS from these indexes from their published quarterly format (Jan to Mar, Apr to Jun, Jul to Sep, Oct to Dec) into a yearly format sorted by forename. The indexes start in the 3rd quarter (July onwards) in 1837. I am extracting only the surname PERKINS. No variants (e.g. Perkings or Perkin) will be been extracted. Extracts are available as comma-delimited ASCII text files from; http://www.uea.ac.uk/~e850/perkins/genealgy/gro/gro.htm Currently I have extracted; Births: 1837 (3rd and 4th Quarter only); 1838 (1st Quarter only) Marriages: 1837 (3rd and 4th Quarter only); 1892 (1st Quarter only) Deaths: 1837 (3rd and 4th Quarter only) Andy Perkins a.perkins@uea.ac.uk

Looking for Adelia PERKINS b. abt. 1823 in NY but I have no idea who her parents were or where she was born in NY. She is listed on the 1850 cenus with husband Jesse MARSH in Green County, Wi. with 2 children: Melissa, age 3 and Alonzo age abt. 6 mo. Does anyone have a PERKINS family in NY with her listed as a child? I do know she was married in Vermilion Co., Ill. in 1845 and then went to Wi. thanks nancy (Iowacamper@aol.com)

Isn't technology great? I sit here in south Louisiana and watch as you get my ancestry from Pierre de Morlaix in France to England to Edward Perkins in New Haven, Conn. Can you help me connect Edward Perkins to Reverand Henry Willis Perkins (b. ?) (about 1830 if you allow 25 years per generation) who was a Seventh Day Adventist minister in Mt. Carmel. He performed the wedding ceremony there for his grandson in 1907? Our local genealogy library has only limited Conn. resources, so I would appreciate any and all help. Dorothy Perkins Gray

Joseph was the son of Isaac bp. 1611/12, and Susanna (reported to be Wise or Wyeth but evidently not proven) PERKINS of Hampton MA. I had eroneously listed the father of Isaac and his half brother Abraham as William but it is now more likely that it was William's brother Isaac bp 1571 and his wife Alice. who in turn was the son of thomas Perkins, d. 1588-92 of Hillmorton, Warwickshire, England m. alice (Kebble?)

Gary Boyd Roberts work is correct. These births can be found in the Hillmorton Parish Records. Paula

I looked at FTM's CD #181, "English Origins of New England Families under the ancestors of William Perkins and from that it does not seem that Isaac was any relation. NEHGR v 10, July, 1856 p. 216 lists Isaac as "probably the brother of John and Abraham" This is hardly authoratative though. It doesn't list their father but says they were probably a cousin of the Rev. William Perkins, son of William Perkins of England. From all evidence that I can find right now I have to conclude that William was probably not the father of Isaac and Abraham. If you have anything else contradicting this I would appreciate your letting me know. P.S. Along with Nixon who was a descendant of Isaac Perkins through Rebecca=John Hussey, Roberts lists presidents Filmore, Coolidge, and F.D. Roosevelt as descendants of his supposed grandparents Thomas Perkins d. 1588-92 of Hillmorton, Warwickshire, England and his wife Alice (Kebble?) through Henry Perkins' son John of Ipswich. This eliminates the idea from v10 of NEHGS that John was the brother of Isaac and Abraham.
