Cousins For those of you with Virginia Roots, you really need to check the book The Descendants of Nicholas Perkins of Virginia by Hall. It is a beautifully researched book. I finally bought it last year and will gladly look up names for you if you would like. The book is available at the State Library of Virginia and I know it is in Salt Lake City. I will add that when I tried to submit my husband's line to the Jamestowne Society, Mr. Hart, the genealogist, refused to accespt the lineage because I could not find primary proof for Mary Harding as daughter of Thomas Harding and there was no evidence (primary) of marriage between their daughter Bethenia and Nicholas Perkins. Hart and other archivists do not consider Wulfuck's research as acceptable. However, every secondary source quotes virtually the same facts...So I guess you could say that my greatest goal in this line is to prove the above "facts" Carol Patricia A Grout wrote: >This is one of my Perkins lines: > >FIRST GENERATION > >1.
