I'm not sure if i have been here before so i apologise in advance if duplicating here.
The earliest man i've found is George Perkins born in 1702 in Falmouth.
I think his parents were Mary Libby and John Perkins.
John's parents may have been Jacob Perkins and Elizabeth ?? Gater.
I'm keen to ascertain whether and if my Perkins' link actually goes back to Hillmorton, Warwickshire. Did an ancestor from there leave in the century's turmoil to go south to say, early Falmouth and region?
Basically i'm intrigued as to (1)whether the early days of Falmouth, Cornwall and Falmouth, Cape Cod, America actually shared any of my Perkins' ancestry?! And (2) if i can work to find the link even further back to the Norman Pierre de Morlaix!!
On Ancestry i'm hauling in many Perkins between the years of 1600 - 1720. Names are oft repeated generationally and many of the men had military titles including Captain - but whether that was army or navy, or the merchant packet ships which sailed so frequently between the two lands i can't say of course.
Any help or clarification would be super.
