| NAME |
Henry is the first one in the family to bear the surname variant on "Perkins".
While the origin of this surname is heavily discussed in the opening graphs of this
Report, the conclusions of James Fulton Perkins are to be trusted as true: "...He [Henry] was to be named Henry Pierrekin #&40;meaning "first son of Pierre", born 1340 in Shropshire, England and died in Hillmorton, Warwickshire, England). The "kin" suffix indicates the eldest son in a family and any subsequent sons are simply called with the suffix "son", as in "Pierreson". Hence, the first son is Pierrekin and the second son of Peter (Pierre) Morley would be "Pierreson"..."[3] As the French influence on England waned and all things French became personal & political liabililties, Henry further modified and Anglicized his surname from "Pierrekin" to "Pierkyn"[3]. |
| SERVICE WITH THE DESPENCERS | He inherited the title of High Steward of the DeSpencer family from his father. |
| MARRIAGE | We know nothing of Henry's wife, nor of any other children. |
