PERKINS - REES

About 1701, several Baptist congregations in the counties of Pembroke and Cairmarthen, Wales, resolved to go to America. They met at Milford Haven in June 1701, and embarked on the William and Mary, landing on the 8th of September in Philadelphia. They settled by 1703 in the Welch Tract of Pennsylvania (now Newcastle County, Delaware)

The will of Thomas Rees of Haverford in the Welsh Tract was proved 10 Oct 1713. His children Samuel, Sarah, Daniel, Mary, David, Isaac, Philip, Miriam, Thomas, and John. These children are also listed as grandchildren of Philip Price of Merion, whose will was proved 22 Nov 1720, wife Margaret, daughters Sarah Lewis, Joan wife of Hugh David, Lettice wife of Samuel Rees, Rebecca wife of Thomas Rees, and other grandchildren Isaac Price, and the children of John Lewis. Daniel is said to have moved to South Carolina with the larger migration about 1730.

Samuel Perkins (about 1700 - before 1744?) married a daughter of Daniel Rees. Whose first initial is sometimes given as "G." They moved with a group to the Welch Neck Settlement on the Pee Dee River in Craven County, South Carolina, now near Society Hill, Darlington County. The Welch Neck (Baptist) Church was organized in January 1738. Samuel Perkins (father or son) married 16 Apr 1743 Sarah Butler in St Philips Pr, Charleston, and was a coach maker, dying in 1764, children John and Sarah. Samuel’s connection to John and Lydia Perkins of Ipswich, Mass, is yet to be established.
