John PERKINS parents were Thomas Purkins and Rebecca (Fox). He had a brother William Perkins (1754–) who died young. John was baptised on 04 Mar 1744, at Elstow, Bedford, England [1]
He had a child with Ann Jackson b. 21 Jan 1733. I cannot find a record of a marriage between Ann and John, Purkins born 1764 is the only known child of this couple. [2] Ann Jackson had married James Cooper in 1758 Apr 17. James died in 1762.
