My father mentioned about Peter Morliax (Peter Morley) when I was very young and because my Father truly believed it did too. I started to become suspicious in my later years when I found out about the Perkins name written in William the Conqueror doomsday book of 1086. Way before Peter Morlaix birth around 1310 to 1330?<br /> My question is: why is it stated in depth in the Family tree website, Latter Day Saints have Pierre de Morlaix and his ancestors in the Perkins family tree is puzzleindAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6796453294242204514.post-25074940080494695062023-10-08T14:44:00.365-07:002023-10-08T14:44:00.365-07:00This is interesting, but everything I find leads t...This is interesting, but everything I find leads to William Smith Bryan being ousted to Virginia and his son Francis going back and his sons returning. Go to West Hill Cemetery in Salem VA and see the graves of some of the Bryan ancestors. In my research, I wasn't able to go to Bryan Island Cemetery but thankful to had read previous comments. History can definitely be confusing and that's why so many historians differ on what they believe. Thanks for the read on my 6th-8th Great Grandparents.

Here's what it gathered from the web:<br /><br /><i>There is no historical record of a person named Henry Pierrekins. The name "Pierrekins" is a fictional name that was created by the Perkins family in the 18th century. The Perkins family claimed that Henry Pierrekins was the son of Pierre de Morlaix, the 14th-century French nobleman. However, there is no evidence to support this claim.<br /><br />The Perkins family created the fictional name of Henry Pierrekins in order to give their family a more distinguished and noble history. They claimed that Henry Pierrekins was a knight who fought in the Crusades and that he was the ancestor of Sir William Henry Perkin, the inventor of mauveine.

Her descendants eventually came west and ended with my maternal Grandmother in the greater Los Angeles, California area and then I was raised in San Francisco, where my father was a 2nd generation San Franciscan. I am in London today, as I write this, and do business in London and am a member of the In and Out Club there. It would be lovely to meet other descendants of Stephen Bachilor who remained in England. http://www.karenlile.com<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03758314328563210781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6796453294242204514.post-5477708562875011722023-03-20T21:49:06.328-07:002023-03-20T21:49:06.328-07:00Yeah the newbie to Ancestry.com tripped up all the...Yeah the newbie to Ancestry.com tripped up all the professional genealogist, historians(Bill Deyo) and Dr. Linwood "Little Bear" Custalow who's got cultural anthropological field works with the Mattaponi Indians. Dr. Custalow was a doctor to the Mattaponi Indians and recorded their sacred oral tradition which confirms without a doubt that Pocahontas and Kocoum had a child. Yet somehow in her mind she's above them all. How did this happen? With your nursing school degree from St. Thomas University nursing school with it's national accreditation? Your credentials to be so uppity and challenging to historians and field researchers are lacking. Are you aware we wouldn't have the Bible if it wasn't for sacred oral tradition that was eventually written down? Are you aware we wouldn't have the first written works of western literature the Illiad and Odyssey if it wasn't for sacred oral tradition that was eventually written down? Even today in Turkey the Illiad and Odyssey are sung by bards before crowds because of sacred oral tradition. Sacred oral tradition is scientific evidence and has been considered scientific evidence in cultural anthropology for a long time. You might know that if you had taken some cultural anthropology and history classes at a regionally accredited university.

Rebecca is said to have been the daughter of Johan Berry, and here is where things get conflated... A Geni tree has Johan Berry from Newcastle, Lancashire, UK. That's not possible. Newcastle is on the east coast in Northumberland and Lancashire is on the west coast, see Lancaster. <br /><br />And I'd love some historical evidence for these folks.

So, I am a Thornton from James/Nancy to James/ Elizabeth( or is it Katherine?) to William to Capt Matthew( nephew of the Signer of the Dec. of Independence) to Matthew Lind- to Benjamin to Albert- to Charles -to Ralph- to Ken- to, ta da, me. I THINK I have that straight. Capt Matthew left the States under debatable circumstances( traitor or bonafide Loyalist- whatever. I’m happy he came here.) From him on down, the fellas and their wives settled in New Brunswick- until my dad moved to Ontario. I have a question - back to the Seige of Derry. Your notes state that James snd Nancy lived in the County Tyrone at Strabane. The Clyde/Wasson notes I’ve read mention they were likely on Carn Hill on the Road to Limavady ( and were visited here frequently by the King’s troops who were stationed on the east bank of the Foyle.) I am trying to pinpoint where the farm would have been- I know, I know… it was a long time ago.
