Hi everybody, My Ggrandfather was Ira H. Perkins who was born in April 1850 in Elmira NY, son of John Perkins and Orinda (maiden name unknown). Ira moved to Clinton MA where he married Eldora Jewett and had several children: Charles Eugene, Orinda, Laura, Sidney F., Albert and Eldora L. I recently purchased "The Family of John Perkins of Ipswich, Massachusetts" from Higginson Books thinking I could take this line back further, but lo and behold, the Ipswich bunch is not my line. :-( If anyone out there has any of the other Perkins books, could you see if they are listed and let me know where I can find my Perkinses? I would appreciate it very much. Marty Loss P.S. If anyone would like to buy a brand new copy of "The Family of John Perkins of Ipswich, Massachusetts", email me.
