Son of Thomas Perkins, who built brick house near here in 1720. The Colonel was one of the commissioners appointed by Maryland Council of safety to raise supplies for Washington's Army. Much of the flour provided from the Eastern Shore was ground in the mills of his property. In 1780, he accused tory "villans" of hiring "some abandoned wretch" to set fire to his mills.HM Number | HM1EI |
