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?
