*NOTE* For several years there was a question on who Archibald L. Perkins married. It was a toss up between NANCY (IRISH)
or NANCY (BRAND) (dau. of Robert Brand). Given the Land Sale Deed I found dated 4.13.1846 in the Hinesburg, Chittenden Co., VT Land Records book (referenced below) this question is answered by seeing\reading in print, that her mother and father are listed.  Thankfield Scott and her father  Zodac IRISH (deceased)
