Joshua “Old Jock” Perkins - Duplicate Needs Merging

Many online family trees show Thomas Blair as Joshua's father; this is impossible given that Thomas Blair was a Scottish immigrant and Y-DNA proves Joshua was of African descent on his paternal line (see below).

Y-DNA

Descendants of Joshua Old Jock Perkins who have Y-DNA tested, please join the FTDNA “Driggers Y-DNA Project - Descendants of Emanuel Driggers and Joshua Old Jock Perkins”: https://www.familytreedna.com/groups/driggers/about The project includes descendants of Joshua Old Jock Perkins 1732-1801 because they are linked to the Driggers family by Y-DNA.

Please also join the Joshua Old Jock Perkins Facebook Group for regular updates on the Y-DNA project. Here's the status of that project as of 27 Jun 2021:

According to the 1858 Perkins v White trial, Joshua Old Jock Perkins had 5 sons: George, Isaac, Jacob, Joshua, and Lewis. Using Y-700 DNA tests, we have connected sons George, Jacob, Isaac, Joshua, and Lewis to haplogroup E-FT375579 or its subclade E-FT376097. Y-700 test results suggest Joshua's father was likely a descendant of Emanuel Driggers.

The haplogroups mentioned above will only show up on Y-700 DNA tests. Joshua Old Jock Perkins descendants who have taken lower level Y-DNA tests show haplogroup E-M96 or its subclades E-M132 or E-CTS10935.

T-lo Tina Ann Cavitt - I’ve gone through your Perkins line, if that’s OK, and find it tracks back to Isaac Perkins of Ipswich who arrived in America in the Great Puritan Migration to New England.

Tina Ann Cavitt is Isaac Perkins of Ipswich's 10th great granddaughter.

(The Geni tree does extend further back in England but I haven’t checked it).

In the next post I’ll show you a couple of documents about Noah Perkins.

Oh my

“ Isaac Perkins is likely a tenth generation descendant of Pierre de Morlaix (aka Peter Morley alias Perkins), of Shropshire, England. Pierre/Peter was living in 1371, and was the bailiff (manager) of the estates belonging to Lord Hugh Despencer of the Manor of Shipton in Oxfordshire. Isaac's line of descent may be as follows: Thomas, Henry, Thomas, William, Thomas, William, John, Henry, Peter Morley alias Perkins.[2]”

Again, did not check it)

So the point of confusion was Noah Perkins

Here’s the death certificate Laurie mentioned:

On the findagrave pages for https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/19644467/jacob-person-perkins & his wife https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/19644477/rhoda-perkins, I see:

Isn’t that you?

As mentioned, James Monroe Perkins did not have a son Noah. James was the son of Amos Perkins son of Jacob Perkins, Sr. son of Joshua “Old Jock” Perkins

The line needs more detailing for locations. That will be my next step.

Tina, your Perkins is an interesting migration. From Ipswich MA (Indian massacre) > New Hampshire 1st settlers > New Jersey > Maryland > Kentucky.

Glad it’s sorted.
