      INTRODUCTION

      This particular Perkins family line goes back an amazing forty nine generations. My humble family line from West Tennessee who were small farmers actually came from ancient Kings and Queens of France and England. Follow the journey from the year 600 AD and this family’s journey from Germany, France, England and America.

      This American branch settled in Jamestown, VA and Baltimore, Maryland. Some lived in Bladen, North Carolina and parts of South Carolina and Washington and Carter Counties in Tennessee. My branch lived in Hardin County (Sardis), Tennessee.

      PERKINS FAMILY HISTORY

      Perkins is one of the most notable surnames from the European genealogical research of Anglo/Saxon surnames, and is an influential surname of the middle ages. It should be noted at the beginning that the original spelling of the name was not Perkins. The name was originally deMorlaix as the manuscripts of this time period were, most always, written in Latin or French. The later translators Anglicized the name from deMorlaix to Morley. In future generations the Perkins (deMorlaix/Morley) name was spelt Pierrekin, Pierkyn, and Perkyn. Not until the late 14th century did the spelling take on the now accepted form.

      Research of ancient manuscripts, which include the Doomsday Book by Duke William of Normandy in 1086 A.D., the Ragman Rolls of 1291-1296 authorized by King Edward 1st of England, the Curia Regis Rolls, The Pipe Rolls and The Hearth Rolls of England, found the first record of the name Perkins in Leicestershire, England. The name Perkins, in one form or another (i.e.: deMorlaix/Morley), first appears on the census rolls taken by the Kings of England beginning about 400 A.D.

      The family name Perkins is one of the most distinguished of the ancient world during a time of Kingdoms, Kings and Knights. If we are to believe Bede, the Chronicler of the Saxons, this founding race of England was led by the Saxon General/Commanders Hengist and Horsa and settled in Kent.

      However, there is evidence to support the claim that the name is of Celtic/Welsh origin. Based on British history we know that after the last Roman Legions left the continent in the early part of the 5th century the Saxons, Angles and other LowGerman tribes settled in Southeastern England around Kent. However, the Ancient Britons (Celtics) were the true natives of the area and it is an amalgamation of the Angles, Saxons and Celtic Britons who became what we refer to today as the Anglo/Saxons. The truth is that the Angles and Saxons may have moved in, but the Britons were there in far greater numbers, thus accounting for the claim that the blood line is far more Celtic than any other. Therefore it should be concluded that the origins of the Perkins Clan are Celtic/Welsh.

      By the 13th century the family name Perkins emerged as a notable English family in the county of Leicester, where they were recorded as a family of great antiquity seated as Lords of the manor and estates in that shire. They had branched to Ufton Court in Berkshire and
