Biography

"Deborah was born in 1695.She gave birth to an illegitimate son, Joseph Perkins[1], and was brought before the court on April 1, 1718 for bastardy. Deborah accused Jacob Perkins of York and Wells, 33, of fathering her son Joseph", (who had been born at York on February 8, 1717/18). Jacob Perkins subsequently denied the accusation, and posted a bond of £50 support, paid the court fees, and was "acquitted" (probably "dismissed" after posting the bond).She passed away after 1760."
