Henry Perrin

Rescent & Updated Info from a long time Perrin Reseacher, Carol Randall of Tacoma, Washington. She is descended from Samuel Perrin, son of John. Her line settled in Arkansas.

James Collinsworth

There has been much discussion over James’ middle name. Is it Irwin, Irving or Erwin? I believe it to be Irvin or Irwin due to the name in the second generation and to several historical records such as Census and the Death Record of Green Price, which lists the parents as “Irvin Collinsworth & Nancy Kilgore.)
