( copied from) South Carolina and American General Gazette and its successor, The Royal Gazette ( 1781-1782) marriage notices, from May 30 1766 to February 28 1781 compiled and edited by, A.S. Salley, Jr., Secretary of the Historical Commission of South Carolina. Printed for The Historical Commission of South Carolina, by The State Company 1914. [ MARRIED] Mr. John Perkins to Miss Sarah Cozzens of Georgia Monday, May 8, 1769. The Lewis Perkins mentioned above is often confused with the Lewis Perkins living in Floyd Co., Ky/. by 1816. The were both born around the same time, The difference being that the Lewis Perkins above died 1839. The Lewis Perkins that I am researching was still listed in the 1840 census of both Floyd and Morgan Co., Ky. I believe the Lewis Perkins mentioned in Amite Co., Mississippi is the son of Rees/ Reese Perkins. I have a copy of this Lewis Perkins Rev. war pension application papers( file # R-8114-SC), If someone working on this line would like to have them please let me know. Helen
