About Robert Perkins

There's no such person as a "Robert Chauncey William Perkins."

There was, however, a Robert Perkins of Maryland: this profile. He was likely born long before 1645.


PLEASE DO NOT ADD PARENTS WITHOUT EVIDENCE AND A DISCUSSION There is no evidence that Robert [Chauncey William] Perkins was the son of John Perkins and Elizabeth Perkins, so they have been detached from this profile. This profile says that Robert was born in 1645 in England. John and Elizabeth immigrated to New England in 1631.


Robert Perkins died 1668 in Maryland.

Children of Robert Perkins are:
+Richard Perkins, b. 1625, England, d. date unknown, Baltimore, Maryland.

PERKINS FAMILY HISTORY
About five miles below the city of Havre de grace, Maryland, and belonging to Baltimore County (now Harford County), lies Spesutie Island. It's name being derived from that of Col. Nathaniel Utie, it's first owner. It is probable that Col. Utie made his first settlement on Spesutie Island soon after the Indian treaty of 1652. It is also probable that Nathaniel was a Virginian and a relative of John Utie who was prominent in the affairs of that colony from 1623 until 1635.

In 1657, Nathaniel Utie jointly located land with Philip Calvert and Henry Meese on the western side of Susquehanna. In 1658, George Utie took up 300 acres in Utie's Rumnye Tract (or Rumley Creek). In the same year, Nathaniel also took up Dale Town Tract of 300 acres. Later this passed to Capt. Thomas Howell.

July 25, 1658, Nathaniel Utie with his London partner, Henry Meese, having brought in three score persons, the manor of Spesutie Island consisting of 2300 acres was surveyed for him and patent granted August 9, 1661. This island lies near the head of the Chesapeake Bay in Baltimore County (now Harford County), Maryland. It was previously called Bear Island.

Nathaniel died in 1675/1676 and, as his only son John had died young, the manor descended to his nephew George Utie; thence to Susanna Utie, sole heiress and daughter of George, who married Francis Holland of Baltimore County. Their grandson, Francis Holland III, sold the entire manor to Samuel Hughes, ironmaster of Washington County.

When the Church of England became the established church of the Palatinate of Maryland, the first Vestry House was erected at Spesutie Parish on the property which belonged by grant to Col. Nathaniel Utie. And it is in Spesutie Parish (now St. George's and St. John's of Harford and Baltimore Counties) that the first Episcopalian Church was established. The second church house built there still stands today. Here is also some of the earliest and best preserved records, and a burial ground consisting of five acres of land which went with the church.

Richard Perkins I
It is in Spesutie Parish among the old records we have found our first known family group on our direct Perkins line. Richard and Mary Perkins and the names of their children are given and the dates of the births: Richard II, born 9 July 1689; William, born 15 March 1692; Mary, born 2 April 1695; Elisha, born 9 June 1697; Sarah, born 15 Dec. 1699 - died 28 Dec. 1699; Martha, born 31 March 1701. The mother's last name is not mentioned. Through tracing descendants of these three sons, however, we have found that each of them named either a son or a grandson Ute or Utie. It remains yet to be proven, but it is not improbable that the mother's maiden name was Utie.

Richard I was a cooper (a craftsman who makes or repairs barrels or casks) from Plymouth, England. Early Maryland transportation records show that Richard I had arrived in Maryland in 1676. Whether he was transported there from England or from another colony is unknown. He and Mary had settled in 1683 on 100 acres of land on the head of Mosquito Creek in Baltimore County, Maryland. Their annual rent was four shillings. All of his property, on his death in 1705, went to his three sons.

In 1683 Richard purchased 100 acres "in the woods above the head of Swan Creek". On Dec 15, 1683 he purchased a 100 acre tract called Perkinson at the head of Mosquito creek bounded by tracts called The Grove, Mascalls Humor and Beaver Neck. In 1694 he took up a tract of land on Swan Creek called Paradise, containing 490 acres. On Aug 28, 1697 Richard I and William Lofton jointly purchased a 100 acre tract they called Brotherly Love, on the south side of the Susquehanna River, near what is now Susquehanna State Park. Several transactions are found concerning a tract of land called Eightrupp or Atrop or Airtop, which was surveyed 29 December 1664 for Thomas Griffith, who gave it to Henry Hazlewood. The executors of the latter sold it to Richard Perkins I and William Lofton. In 1700, 468 of the 500 acres were in possession of Richard Perkins, the remaining 32, in possession of Daniel Johnson.
