Hi Denise, Thanks for the list. I'm finally down to working the scraps of paper with notes. I still have a problem with your comment that Elizabeth Perkins b 1703 did not marry Nicolas Russell; nor did her sister Mary. My sources were: page 206 'Vital Records of New Haven 1649-1850' Publ 1917 [Nicolas Rufsell & Elifabeth perkins were Joyned in Marriage to each other June 7th 1733 by Revd Mr Jofeph Noyes] also, page 103 'Descendants of Edward Perkins of New Haven, CT' C E Perkins Publ 1917 page 403 'Vital Records of New Haven 1649-1850' [Nicolas Rufsel and Mary Perkins of New Haven were Joyned in Marriage July 26, 1757] If not Stephen's daughters, then who ?? Take this weight from my shoulders ! Hugh ------------------------------
