| 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.
Known Children:
1. Elisha
Perkins b. 4-25-1772 MA m. Jemina (Johnson)
2. Elijah Perkins b. 8-29-1774

6. Mary Perkins b.10-5-1790 m. *It has been suggested
that this **JOEL PERKINS was the son of John Perkins & Dorcus (Brooks)
and brother to William Perkins
. (Descendants of Edward Perkins of New Haven, CT)
*See my posting where this theory was tossed around:
http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/PERKINS/2007-08/1187307616 ** Perkins
Research asks Questions??... "
*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 and NOT 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.
This Y-DNA test would defiantly
be an interesting test kit outcome to watch. Are you a MALE Descendant
of John & Dorcas (Brooks) Perkins ?????
