Does anyone out there have connections with any Perkins thought to be Native American? My husband has such a Perkins family in his ancestry, and as you might imagine, I am having a lot of trouble tracing them. I am currently seeking information on James Perkins and his wife Susan Downs, both probably born around 1800, allegedly in Rochester, NH. Their son Thomas, born 1834, is my husband's 2Xgreat grandfather. Since I have records citing 3 different birth locations for Thomas, I am not confident that Rochester is actually the birthplace of his parents. Records I have on Thomas say he was born in Rome, ME., Lebanon, ME., Old Town, ME. Town clerks in those towns have no information on him, nor does the Penobscot Nation, located in Old Town. I am currently pursuing a remote lead of a connection with this family in Kansas, possible a brother of Thomas. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated! Lynda
