Hello: In order to identify male Perkins surnamed cousins for possible participation in the Parkins and Perkins Y DNA stusy, I have put up 8 generation descendant reports for the three sons of Edward Perkins and ELizabeth Butcher of New Haven Colony, Connecticut: John, Jonathan, and David: All men tested so far are descenddants of John. We need to test some descendants of Jonathan, David, and Rev Capt. William Perkins. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~scperkins/JohnPerkins.pdf http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~scperkins/JonathanPerkins.pdf http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~scperkins/DavidPerkins.pdf and a 3 generation report for Edward's possible half-brother, Rev Capt. William Perkins of Topsfield, MA: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~scperkins/ The first three go through approximately 1880. I need help with all 4 of them. If you are a descendant of Edward Perkins or Rev Capt William Perkins, please look through the reports and let me know of additions or errors. For my Perkins cousins in NC and VA, I have more info on the descendants of Timothy Perkins' other sons and will be adding that in. I need info on the descendants of Timothy's brother, Joseph Perkins. I am using the following materials in this compilation: Perkins, The Descendants of Edward Perkins of New Haven; Jacobus, Families of Ancient New Haven; Mortensen, English Origins of six Perkins Immigrants; Judge Paul M Perkins, One Branch of the Perkins Family; Both Savage's and Farmer's Genealogical Dictionaries. I have an extremely poor reproduction of the works of Dow Perkins from the Library of Congress and from the Ashe/Wilkes Co. NC libraries. If you know of any legible copies of his works, I'd appreciate know how I could get copies. Information on the descendants of Rev William Perkins seems hard to identify. If you know of a good book or article on his descendants, please let me know. My contact email is SCPerkins@gmail.com Thanks, Steven C.
