James Perkins

(Ca 1743 - 1817)



I do not know of any source for the birth of James Perkins - seen as 1 Nov 1744. He would have been born several years before the Rev. Douglas came to Virginia and began keeping records. James & his wife were married by the Rev. Douglas on 1 Nov 1764 - it looks very much like an "assumed" date.
