Here, at least, is one person who reads every Roll Call that comes through and wishes she could add her linages. Well, they must be very obscure Perkins families because nothing has appeared. They are southern, presumably originating in Virginia. Maybe someone has run across one of these people. My first lost Perkins is my Revolutionary War grandmother. Her name was Maachi Perkins - spelling is sometimes different. We've never knew exactly what it was and she's come to be known as Mickie, which we realize isn't the right name. We don't know where she was born, when she was born, or who her parents were. Maachi Perkins married Jesse Franklin, son Bernard and Mary Cleveland Franklin. The Frankilin family originated in Orange Co VA, but moved to Surry County NC before the Revollutionary War when Jesse Franklin was still a youngster. Jesse Franklin was a hero of the Battle of Guilford Court House in North Carolina and was reinterred with his cousin Richard Taliaferro (son of Dr. John Taliaferro and Mary Harden) when the site became a national park. He was US Senator from North Carolina, and the state's first elected Governor. Family heritage includes information about Maachi Perkins Franklin which describes her as a woman much admired for her warm and gentle character, and her intelligent demeanor. We would surely be happy if someone has information about our GGGGG Grandmother. The other Perkins who is lost is a possible ancestor. His name is Seth Perkins. We have attempted to find him among the Constatine and Nicholas Perkins group of Henrico County, but have not succeeded. All we know about Seth Perkins is that he had a daughter named Elizabeth who married John Moore of Bristol Parish, about 1665. Their marriage was contested by others as being 'incestuous,' and the case resolved in their favor. I hope you can help me. I've made a fairly strong effort to identify these two Perkins' families with dismal success. Thanks so much for your attention and any guidance you may be able to give me.
