Our Perkins family descended from the Perkins of Ufton Court in Reading, Berkshire County, west of London. A portion of the Ufton Court was initially built in the 15th century. This Elizabethan manor house was the home of Sir Richard Weston (also in our lineage through the Cook-Parmater line). He was an esquire (armor bearer) to King Henry VIII, governor of Guernsey Island in the English Channel, treasurer of Calais, France, and later the Sub-Treasurer to the Exchequer.
