| Joel Perkins
b.ca.1750. Son of (*See the below theory).
His wife MEHITABLE (BROOKS). They were married
April 27, 1771 at Montague, Franklin Co., Mass . A "Joel Perkins" was listed living at
Montague, MA on the 1790 MA Census. They were later listed on the 1810 Census at
Genesee Co., New York.

*IF.... Joel Perkins who
m. Mehitable (Brooks) (above) was a son of John Perkins b.1719 Hadley, Hampshire
Co., MA who married Dorcus (Brooks)...
Question: Would not Joel Perkins b.1750, son of John & Dorcus
(Brooks) Perkins served in the Rev. War from Connecticut ?**
Why would he have fought in the
Rev. War from Mass. and not of from Connecticut where John & Dorcus Perkins had removed to
prior to 1746 and where their son "Joel Perkins b. March
1st, 1750" was born at ????
It is a known fact that John Perkins m. Dorcus
(Brooks) at New Haven, CT in 1746 and that John & Dorcus (Brooks) lived at Cheshire,
CT and Wallingford, CT (There is no record that they lived in Mass). If Joel Perkins, son of John & Dorcus
(Brooks) Perkins inherited his grandfathers land in MA, then this parental
theory might be possible.

The submitter of YDNA Test kit (2684) at
www.familytreedna.com is a descendant of Ketchel Perkins, a son of
#2. Elijah Perkins b.1774 m. Patience (Wood). Their YDNA
matched with those from the Edward Perkins of New Haven, CT
branch. |
**IMPORTANT**
.. A male
descendant the John & Dorcas (Brooks) Perkins family would need to submit a Y-DNA test
kit to a Y-DNA testing company to compare it against others of the Edward
Perkins of New Haven, CT Line, which is the line of descent that the author
of the book "The Descendants of Edward Perkins of New Haven, CT" places the
family of John & Dorcus (Brooks) Perkins.
A Y-DNA test would defiantly
be an interesting test kit outcome to watch. Are you a MALE Descendant
of John & Dorcas (Brooks) Perkins ?????

They were listed on the 1830 Census at
Champion, Jefferson Co., NY. They
removed from New York to Erie Co., PA around 1830/31 and should have
been listed on the 1840 at Erie or Wayne, Erie Co., PA. In 1850 they
were listed at at Wayne, Erie Co., PA. In 1860 he is listed in the
household of Gurden & Tilly Cook/Crook at Wayne, Erie Co., PA. They were known to have had 8
children, 5 of which are currently known.

8. Alvira/Elvira Perkins b.1847 m. Hollis Hiscock
*NOTE* In
the Will of Doctor Solomon Perkins, M.D., he mentioned his brother "Eliab
Perkins"** It is
possible they were children of Hosea
Edson & Edith (Manchester) Perkins)
or
Eliab & Tilly (Ingraham) Perkins .
*NOTE*
There is also a family connection between
Solomon Perkins &
Elihu Perkins
b.1803. Elihu S. Perkins daughter
Caroline "Carrie" Perkins was in 1850, living in the household of Gurden & Tilley Crook which is the same household Solomon
Perkins lived in 1860.
I
believe the family connection is that Lovina (Campbell) Perkins
sister Almenia, married a man by the name of Crook
***Probably> That Dr. Solomon
Perkins M.D. was the brother-in-law of Tilly Crook b.1800, wife of Gurdon/Gurden Crook whose home
he lived in, in 1860 (which is the same household his possible niece
?, Caroline Perkins b.1843 lived in 1850) |
