Well, this has been so far a very very interesting and exciting day. The plot thickens, as they say! Up till now I have actually received 5 [!!] positive responses on my birthmark query. One e-mail described it absolutely perfect...blew my mind. In order to save me some typing I'll go ahead and post once more my Perkins line. Could there be something to this?? I have a feeling we may all connect somehow and somewhere once we start comparing families. Hey, this is creative Perkins research...the weird shouldn't be new to any of us by now..;-) Marlitta H. Perkins [email protected] Aggy [Agnet] Perkins, my first Perkins ancestor, was born ca. 1825-1827 in Morgan Co., KY [ later Magoffin Co., KY]. Aggy settled in Lawrence Co. between 1843 and 1845 where she managed a farm until 1863 when she bought her own. Aggy had the following children: 1) Henry Clay Perkins, b. December 1843, Morgan Co., KY; d. July 25, 1906, Lawrence Co., KY [my grandfather] 2) Milton Perkins, b. Dec. 8, 1845, Lawrence Co. KY; d. August 5, 1912, Jean, Lawrence Co., KY 3) Isaac, b. 1848, Lawrence Co., KY 4) Isabel, b. 1849/1850 5) Marion Francis Perkins, b. February 27, 1854, Lawrence Co., KY; d. May 9, 1942, Union, Ross Co., OH 6) Zylpha Perkins, b. October 15, 1856 7) Sarah E. , b. February 19, 1860 8) Gen. M. Perkins, b. 1862/1863; d. April 1886, Lawrence Co., KY Aggy Perkins was listed as "single" in every census - always as head of household! Family grape vine has it that she had been married very early to a Henry Perkins but I found no trace of a Henry Perkins in any census record. I did find a court paper in Lawrence Co. where a Henry Perkins bought a tavern in Louisa, Lawrence Co. KY in the 1830's...but I'm not sure if he relates to Aggy or not. She disappears after the 1880 Lawrence Co., KY census...I do not know her burial place nor place and date of death. Her father was from Tennessee and her mother from South Carolina, both names unknown. I recently have been made aware of Josh "Jock" Perkins and his family who came from SC/NC and moved into TN. In the early 1800's, Josh's sons George and Lewis Perkins moved into KY during the early 1800. George settled in Lawrence County, KY, then moved west after 21 years. Lewis remained in KY and may be the ancestors of Aggy Perkins. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Date: Friday, December 08, 2000 10:50 AM Subject: Re: [PERKINS] Perkins Birthmark? >Now this is weird..............my Hubby has one too........ >Perkalong > ><< > Ok...I just have to ask [and my husband's been needling me to do so for > quite some time, too]... > Our Perkins family has a birthmark that seems to be "handed down" with each > generation, a light-red round mark on the back of the head, right above the > neck.
