Hi everyone, I've run up against a real brick wall. Anyone who would have any suggestions or could do a lookup in the Perkins genealogy by Geo. A. Perkins would be much appreciated. I'm looking for the parents of Joseph Perkins who married Eunice Noyes in 1804 in Newbury. Accorinding to the town registrar Joseph Perknins was not born in Newbury, and I cannot find a Joseph Perkins in the Newbury or Ipswich VRs born at the correct time. I did find a Joseph Perkins born to Benjamin and Elizabeth Perkins in Newburyport, 4 March 1781. Does anyone have any info on this Joseph Perkins? Does anyone have the Perkins genealogy by George A. Perkins, who would be willing to do a lookup? I can't get it through interlibrary loan, and both the one volume and the second three volume set were stolen from the Historical library here. I'm also having the same problem with Eunice Noyes. The "Genealogical Record of some of the Noyes descendants..." by Henry Erastus Noyes has, in vol. 2 in the index of marriages Joseph Perkins m. Eunice Noyes, but nothing was known about the parentage of either, so that's all the information that was given. The only Eunice Noyes I could find of the right age was Eunice Noyes, b. 31 Aug 1785 to Joseph Noyes and Anne Stanwood in Newburyport in the VR. Just below this it lists her again, with a birth year of 1787 and says "(recorded above)" after the date. The Noyes genealogy has this Eunice, and gives her a birth date of 31 March 1787 in Newburyport. The ancestry is : 1. Eunice Noyes 2. Joseph Noyes b.22.5.1755 Nbpt + Anne Stanwood m. 1778 3. Jonathon Noyes b. 1728 + Mary Willett m. 1749 Newbury 4. Cutting Noyes b. 1703 + Mary Woodman m. 1724 5. Cutting Noyes b. 28.1.1676 + Elizabeth Toppan m. 1702 6. Cutting Noyes + Elizabeth Knight 7. Nicolas Noyes + Mary Cutting -- __________________________________________________________ The American Indians told their white-eyed conquerors, "God made the earth, and sun, and moon.
