PERKINS in Falmouth
« on: Wednesday 09 April 08 14:05 BST (UK) »

Hello.

I understand that the
Perkins
' first settled in Falmouth in the mid 1600's.  They originated i think from the Hillmorton region in Warwickshire. 

I'm trying to link vague Perkins' family origins in Falmouth both to Hillmorton [or elsewhere] and then to known later descendents in the 18th century who settled in Falmouth for a several generations but whose subsequent descendents, some only, emigrated to South Australia in the 19th century.

A published family historian loosely indicates that there was a

John Perkins
 [a gardener] and a younger man
Jacob Perkins
 [a soldier] who were first recorded there in a poll tax of 1660.John was described as "ancient" and died in early March, 1665.   Thus he may have moved there much earlier in the century.  Did he originate from Warwickshire?

A later record has a
Jacob Perkins
 baptising his children
John
 [5 Feb 1667] and
Mary
 [27 Mar 1671].  Is he the same Jacob who paid a poll tax in 1660. 
Jacob's wife is Elizabeth
:  ? Whipple or Lovell was her maiden name.

Later a Jacob Perkins is married to a Martha Grose in 1674:  would this be Jacob's second marriage, following Elizabeth dying some time before then?

There was also a Thomas Perkins who married a Mary Perkins about the mid 1600's.  They had several children and i have their baptismal dates.

Also there is wedding date,  21 Jan 1691, for a John Perkins and Mary Libby.  We are presuming that this John is the son of Jacob and Elizabeth, above.  John and Mary L had several children however the link with my known antecedants gets blurred here as the record i understand only can suggest that

George Perkins born circa 1702 was a child 7 sibling along with the others given by the record.  Was George a younger brother to Hugh, b 20 Dec 1692, Joana, b 12 Mar 1695 and Jacob, b 2 Jul 1697??

I have this George Perkins marrying Mary Bolitho on 29 May 1728 in Falmouth Parish Church.  Our records show that they had many children but few survived including a George jr b in 1739.  Our family history is clear from hereon.

So in brief i would like to know if it's possible to

1.  clarify/confirm a link between possible Warwickshire origins for the Perkins line in the early 1600's in Falmouth;
2.  identify the line up to c1702 with George Perkins' birth.


Could you please help on this?
Julie
