Career
Lord William Perkins was the first of his family to arrive in Berkshire where he became Lord of the Ufton Robert manor. In his early years William was a bailiff to Prince Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester. This agreement seems to show that William was somehow related to Elizabeth Colney and many scholars have speculated that Elizabeth and Margaret were sisters.
In 1427, and several years after, William Perkins served as Escheator for the counties of Berkshire and Oxfordshire.
Thomas Perkins (1397-1478).
