Hi PERKINS Kin ! I have a question, of anyone ! My PERKINS line is Af-American....do any of you happen to have slave owners back in your lines anywhere ? My PERKINS seem to start approximately 1850s in Marshall County MS(possibly Desoto County)with an Augustus Sr PERKINS. He had several children, but by the time he married, I believe they were born free. Anyway, I am searching the HollySprings MS area... ANY HELP is appreciated ! LBALL3466@aol.com Linda
