Elias Perkins married Elizabeth Shaw Woodbridge. I have put together a book tracing Elias Perkins back to England to the year 1381, not able to trace farther back than that because during a Peasan't Revolt many records were destroyed. Elias Perkins family was originally from Lisbon, Connecticut very near Norwich, owned land where Shetucket and another river meet known as Perkins Crotch. They wer originally from Ipswich Massachusetts where they settled in 1634. They came over to Massachusetts in 1631 on a ship named the Lyon. Would be glad to share more with you. Let me know what you know about your family in Connecticut. --------- End forwarded message ----------
