Hi Teresa: I think your Joshua PERKINS line, 1803, is from Lewis PERKINS, who was a son of Joshua "Old Jock" and Mary "Polly" (Black) Perkins. There are a couple of researchers from that line - - contact me directly if you are interested. My line is from Jacob Perkins, also a son of Joshua and Mary "Polly" (Black) Perkins.

I send this out about once a year - usually to no avail - but here goes again: (My brick wall...) Looking for information on this Perkins family: James Perkins, born about 1801 in either Hallowell, Maine; Augusta, Maine; Saco, Maine or Rochester, New Hampshire. Married Susan Downes, born in 1805 in Rochester or Exeter, New Hampshire; died before 1853. Marriage was in 1825 in Rochester, NH. Second wife was Alice Hartford; married in S. Berwick, Maine in 1854. James and Susan had at least 8 children: Timothy, b. 1927 Sarah, b. 1828 Ann, b. 1830, married "Wells," d. 1873 Thomas, b. 1834, d. 1881 Susan, b. 1836 James, b. 1840, d. 1903 Charles, b. 1843 George, b. 1845, d. 1902 James and Alice had at least two children, possibly twins: Angelina & Eugene, born about 1855. James and Susan may have been full-blood or mixed-blood Native Americans. Thanks, Lynda

All Perkins reserchers, Remember the Scottish/English naming conventions.... First son after grandpa. Second son after dad. Subsequent sons after dad's brothers. This gives us a lot of instances of the same name in the same family, mostly cousins. So, just having a name, location and general timeframe is no guarantee of immediate family relationship. If there weren't enough uncles, the names were usually taken from the mother's family next. Isn't genealogy fun? My David Perkins (7th g-gfather, d. 1733) was an early founder of the town of Bath, in the county of Bath in North Carolina. Really makes me wonder if he came from Bath, England...but I have no evidence yet other than the name of the place. Any of the Bath County, N.C. Perkins are likely related. It is also likely that other branches of the Perkins family that went to other colonies/states...and named the town or county "Bath"...are likely from the same roots...but proving it is another thing entirely.
