This is  My Story 
I was born , Gladys Irene,  my parents were Harriet (Perkins) and John Elmer Perkins, Jr. ,quite a few years ago. Two families from different sides of the Thames River. The Owen Perkins & Gladys (Bliven) family from Waterford, Ct and the John Perkins,Sr and Amy(Tillinghast) Family from Mystic, CT. As my research progressed you will see how these two families  came together with my ggreat grandparents John Perkins and Mary (Clark) from Groton, CT.
This is John and Harriet Perkins ' family.
