>> A white woman servant named Esther Perkins had a number of mixed-race children on that plantation about 1700. Her descendants mixed with whites and other light-skinned families over the years and formed communities in West Tennessee and Louisiana in the early nineteenth century--called Portuguese or Indian because they did not have African American culture. There were several trials over whether they should be allowed to vote. The persons doing the DNA testing are wondering if the plantation was on the border with Northampton or perhaps the family married while moving through Northampton because they have the DNA of the PERKINS family of Accomack County as well as that of the DRIGGERS family of Northampton.
