Origin of the PERKINS name:

From the Dictionary of Maine Genealogy: Listed one Pierre De Morlaix (ofMorlaix, Normandy,France),
born about 1330, came to England, where he was variously known also as"Peter Morley". Pierre
became the High Steward of the De Spencer estates of England (later knownas the House of Spencer, of
whom the late Diana). His offspring were thus variously known as 'son of Peter', which is the Old English
word to be related to someone- - 'kin'. Thus, Pierrekin,Parkyn,Perkins,etc. are all 'kin of Pierre'.

Note: A church inquiry in 1478 called him an armiger (armor bearer for a knight). Although he was known to have held Ufton Robert, the inquiry showed he held only Foxwell Court in Sulhamstead Abbotts. He probably deeded over Ufton Court to some friend to avoid confiscation by the crown. In 1461 at the beginning of the reign of King Edward 4th at the close of the War of the Roses, Thomas, the Earl of Warwick and the Earl's brother, John, Lord Motaque were trustees of land of a defeated Lancastrian, Bernard Bruscas, probably a friendly arrangement to save Broca's land from confiscation. We know that Thomas' son, John, inherited Ufton Court. The land he held at his death was from the Abbey at Reading and therefore safe from confiscation. Thomas is described as being from Masttisfield (Madresfield in Nottinghamshire) and is said to be the ancestor of that branch.[Direct Linage1.FTW]
