Saw your post and think we might have a connection in the early generations. Did you know that one of the CT Perkins went to Nova Scotia and settled in Shelburne where his house is now the headquarters for local historical society. They have published his diaries. Sounded extrordinary. They have a good home page with photo of house and all. Can't get connection for my Samuel PERKINS and his ancestors. Can you help? Any ideas? Thanks.
