Carla, Like you my notes have Rev. William Perkins as the father of Isaac Perkins bp 1611/12. I was just reading Gary Boyd Roberts 'Ancestors of American Presidents', 1995 which lists his father Isaac bp. 1571 d. ante 1639, of Ipswich, MA, son of Thomas Perkins and Alice (Kebble?) of hilmorton, Warwickshire, England. I have seen it both ways and was wondering if you or anybody else knew of any source material to help set the record straight.
