  1. 1.  Constantine Perkins was born on 3 Sep 1682 in Tuckahoe, Henrico, Virginia, USA; died on 3 Sep 1767 in , Goochland, Virginia, USA.

    Notes:

    CONSTANTINE PERKINS(son of Nicholas Perkins, Jr.) was born about 1682 in Henrico County, VA. His birth date is from the assumption that CONSTANTINE PERKINS became of age in 1703 when he was deeded 100 acres of land by his father. A manuscript in the DAR library in Washington D.C. (without giving reference), states that he died September 3, 1767. On the other hand, it may be possible that he is the CONSTANT PERKINS whose funeral took place December 18, 1770 (Douglas Register). CONSTANTINE PERKINS left a will in the form of a deed recorded 1761 in Goochland Deed Book I, page 148. July 9, 1724 he patented three tracts of land (of 347 acres, 250 acres, and 250 acres) each on Beaverdam Creek in that part of Henrico County which later was to become Goochland County. Goochland County was formed in 1728 and his land seems to have been at the corner where Goochland, Hanover, and Louisa Counties meet. By 1761, his first wife dead, CONSTANTINE PERKINS was considering a second marriage. Before contracting this alliance he made a series of deeds to his children some of which were not to be effective until his death. He basically disposed of all of his land and slaves by directing where they were to go after his death.... “...to my well Beloved Son Joseph Perkins I do give...at my decease...Land lying and being in the Countys of Hanover, Louisa and Goochland but when taken up it was in County of Henrico as by the Patent for the said Land bearing Date the Ninth day of July one thousand Seven hundred and twenty four." The land included 347 acres, 3 rods, and 20 poles.

    May 19, 1761: To all Christian People to Whom this Present Writing shall come I CONSTANT PERKINS of Louisa County send Greeting. Know ye that I the said CONSTANTINE PERKINS for divers Good Causes but more Especially for the natural love and Affection which I have and do bear to my Loving Children Hereafter Mentioned I give unto them and their Heirs forever the Following Lands and Negroes Viz, to my belov'd Son Constantine Perkins Junior after my decease I give him my said son two hundred Acres of Land lying in the County of Gochland but taken up in Henrico by Patent bearing date the ninth day of July one thousand seven hundred and twenty four will more fully appear which land is part of the aforesaid Patent for the land whereon my said son now lives, also I give my said son at my Decease one negro man Slave nam'd Peter which said land and Negroe I give to him and his heirs forever. Next at my decease I give to my Belov'd son Nicholas Perkins one Negroe man Slave nam'd Jacob to him and his heirs forever.

    Next at my Decease I Give to my Beloved son William Perkins one Negroe slave named Adam to him and his heirs forever which said Slave is now in Possession of my said son William Perkins; next at my Decease I give to my Belov'd son Stephen Perkins one negro Slave nam'd Nathaniel to him and his heirs forever; next I give to my daughter Ann Perkins now Ann Oglesby two Negro Slaves the one nam'd Judith & the other nam'd Tom to her heirs forever. Next I give to my Daughter ELizabeth Perkins now Elizabeth Ellis three Negroe slaves namely Moses Ester and Doll, at my decease to her and her heirs forever, next I give to my Grand Daughter Ann Perkins now Ann Clarkson Daughter of my son Constantine Perkins one Negroe Slave called Peter, to her and her heirs forever, next I give to my Granddaughter Jemiah Oglesby Daughter to my Daughter Ann one slave named Isham to her and her heirs forever, next I give to my Daughter Eliz Perkins now Elizabeth Ellis after my Decease one Negroe slave named Sarah to her and her heirs forever. Next after my Decease I give Ann Perkins now Ann Oglesby one negroe slave Thamer to her and her heirs forever, next after my decease I give to my first mentioned son Constantine Perkins Junr one Negroe slave named Harry to him and his heirs forever, all the above gifts I warrant and forever defend from the claim challenge or demand of any other person or persons whatsoever, to the only proper use and behoof of the above mentioned persons they and their Heirs forever, each person to whom the above is Given. Lastly all the Remainder part of my Estate not particular mention'd Real and Personal at my Decease I give to be equally divided among all my children, viz. Constantine Perkins, Nicholas Perkins, William Perkins, Stephen Perkins, Joseph Perkins, Harden Perkins, Mary Atkinson, Ann Oglesby, Elizabeth Ellis, to them and their Heirs forever. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and affixed my seal this 19th day of May one thousand seven hundred and sixty one. Sealed Sign'd and Deliver'd in presence of: John Boswell and Robert Wilson CONSTANT PERKINS (Seal)

    He married first ANN (POLLARD) (last name not proven). On May 1, 1754, a deed is recorded from CONSTANT PERKINS and wife - to Joseph Pollard is the basis for this, but Joseph was a generation younger than Anne and Constant. It has been claimed that Ann was the daughter of Stephen Pollard and Ann Hughes and that the POLLARD family came from King and Queen County. As the records of King and Queen County have been destroyed, the evidence to support the claims will probably never be found. Anne was the mother of his children.

    After settling the disposition to be made of his estate at his death in the above deeds, CONSTANTINE PERKINS felt free to enter into a second marriage late in life. If born in 1682, as is thought, he was 79 at this time. Goochland Marriage Bonds show that a license was issued him May 27, 1761, with Jesse Payne acting as bondsman. Four days later the marriage occurred and is recorded in THE DOUGLAS REGISTER (transcribed and edited by W. Mac Jones, 1928): “Married, Constant Perkins & Mary Allen both in this parish 1761 May 31.” The twice widowed Mary Allen had already made a deed of gift to her children James Allen, Elizabeth Allen and Mary Allen on Mar. 7, 1753. The year following her marriage to Constantine, she and her husband deeded on Aug. 2, 1762, to Nathaniel Dennis, "son of the said Mary Perkins," 100 acres which "is the Same Tract or parcel of land which the said Mary Perkins in the Time she lived Widow of James Allen deceased Bought of John Shewmaker." Mary was not destined to survive her third husband.

    By 1763 CONSTANTINE PERKINS was again a widower. That he was indeed an old man is confirmed by a deed he made Nov. 16, 1763 , giving the slave Peter to his "Granddaughter Anne Clarkson wife of David Clarkson" and "after my granddaughter's decease to Frances Clarkson daughter of my granddaughter." This great-granddaughter had been born July 8, 1761. Despite his age, CONSTANTINE PERKINS became a bridegroom for the third time in 1763 when he married Ann Walker. She also was a widow and on Sept. 16, 1771, made a deed to her children for love and affection in Goochland County, VA.

    Having reached the age of almost 90, CONSTANTINE PERKINS died and was buried in Goochland Co., Va., Dec. 18, 1770.

    Constantine married Anne Pollard in 1710 in Louisa, Louisa, Virginia, USA. Anne (daughter of Joseph Pollard and Anne Hughes) was born in 1684 in , Goochland, Virginia, USA; died in 1760 in , Goochland, Virginia, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

The first two generations of this line in Virginia were resident in Culpeper county, farming being the family occupation. Captain Wilson Parrish was born in Pittsylvania county, Virginia, and attained an age of seventy-four years. He saw active service in the Mexican war, and throughout his life was a farmer. He married a Miss Wells, of Pittsylvania county, and had children, among them Joseph M., of whom further.
