The Identity of Henry Perkins

There have been rumors that Henry Clay Perkins' father was Henry Perkins.  Research shows that a Henry Perkins lived in Lawrence Co. KY for some years in the 1830's, until about 1850. It appears that he operated a tavern in Louisa. Perhaps he also went to Morgan County, KY. There is more research that needs to be done in that direction. [MP]
