And, in answer to your query, YES, they certainly are! JOSEPH PERRIN of TN. was a Virginian, just as his spouse SARAH VADEN was. I have never been able to find the VADEN connection, but there are many instances of mentions in the PERRIN families in VA. JOSEPH and SARAH'S children were also born in VA. Two of his children, I think, also started their families in VA. CATHERINE, who died before they reached TN. was married to JOHN DAVIS, of VA. Her first child may have been JOHN PERRIN, who did go to TN. also. There is a lot of info out there to confirm some of the maybes. I did find a lady in Texas who is a descendant of CATHERINE PERRIN, whose daughter was an ancestor of PETER HAMILTON. I would be happy to give you her name if you would like to e-mail me. Thanks, Marthella
