Not exactly. Edward Perkins was born 18 January 1622/3 in London, England. H married Elizabeth Butcher 20 Marcy 1648/9 in New Haven, CT. The Edward who was born (bapt.) 5 April 1607 was the s/o Thomas Perkins who married Mary Bate. This Edward it is believed married Alice Harding 14 Sept. 1637. See pages 7 & 70 of my book "English Origin of Six Early Colonists by the Name of Perkins." I forgot to answer the second part of your second question. I have found some more connections of some later Perkins' and have posted them on my web site. But nothing on the early lines. http://Perkins-family.org Paula -------------- Original message from Larry Perkins <hawgrider88@yahoo.com>: -------------- > Paula, Is the the same Edward born 4Apr1607 that married Elizabeth Butcher? > > PERKINS-D-request@rootsweb.com wrote: > PERKINS-D Digest Volume 05 : Issue 85 > > Today's Topics: > #1 Re: [PERKINS] First Perkins to Ame [Don Perkins ] > > Administrivia: > To unsubscribe from PERKINS-D, send a message to > > PERKINS-D-request@rootsweb.com > > that contains in the body of the message the command > > unsubscribe > > and no other text.
