Please look at the Parkins and Perkins Y DNA project. The descendants of Edward Perkins DO NOT MATCH those of the Hillmorton Perkins families. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~scperkins/PerkinsDNA.html At this time his ancestry is not confirmed, but I lean toward William Perkins, Merchant Tailor of London as his father. I need to test a descendant of Rev Capt William Perkins of Boston and Ipswich, Massachusetts, Edward's proposed half-brother, to see if there is a match. If anyone knows a male Perkins surnamed descendant of Rev William Perkins, please give him my email address. Thanks, Steven C.
