General Notes: Husband - Squire David Perkins

---

He was for many years justice of the peace in Kingston Township, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, and reputed to be the largest landowner in Wyoming Valley, where the fam-ily were pioneer settlers. His house, by some believed to antedate the massacre, and commonly called the oldest house in the Wyoming Valley, was still standing in 1919, opposite the intersection of Tenth Street, at Wyoming Avenue, Wyoming-Wyoming borough being located on a part of Squire Perkins' estate.

General Notes: Wife - Sarah Ferrier

She was a descendant of Thomas Ferrier, who came to America with a com­pany of his relatives under the leadership of their kinsman, Colonel Clinton, ancestor of George Clinton, vice president of the United States, and DeWitt Clinton, governor of New York, as well as James Clinton, major general in the Continental army. Thomas Ferrier, born of French Huguenot stock, lived on Long Island and later in Orange County, NY. Through Sarah (Ferrier) Perkins's sister he is the ancestor of descendants of Benjamin Carpenter.
