Information about the family and descendants of Timothy Perkins from GENEALOGY AND HISTORY OF ONE BRANCH OF THE PERKINS FAMILY IN AMERICA, ORIGINATING WITH EDWARD PERKINS, IMMIGRANT TO AMERICA AND TO NEW HAVEN CONNECTICUT BEFORE 1646, written by Judge Paul M. Perkins, 5269 Lynn Rd. N.E., Minerva, Ohio 44567 and donated to Genealogy Collection, Public Library, C Street, North Wilkesboro, North Carolina.

Perkins researcher, Stephen C. Perkins notes that "Timothy was a loyalist in the Revolutionary War. He served with Capt. Benjamin Perkins in the South Carolina 'King's Own Loyalists.'

Additional information about the vital statistics of Timothy and Miriam (Sperry) Perkins from the the LDS Family Registers of Marlana Myra Geisler, 5801 West Berkeley Road, Phoenix, Arizona (Alternate contact person: Boyce L. Williams, P. O. Box 130, Hill City, Idaho 83337), 1985.

(NOTE FROM RALPH TERRY: There is evidence that shows that Timothy died before 1784, for example, his son, Jabez, is appointed a guardian and listed as an orphan boy. If this is the case, Ann Sturgill could not have been his second wife, but the wife of another Timothy Perkins.)
