I am searching mainly for the Perine Family of Harrison, Doddridge, Lewis, Ritchie and surrounding counties. As of right now, I can trace three Perine branches back to the late 1700's, but having no luck with names or dates before that.
The three branches go back to a Richard Perine b. 1794, a William Perine b. abt. 1802, and an Isaac Perine b. bef. 1810. It appears that the three men, plus sisters, were adopted, as their marriage bonds show different wards (gaurdians) for each. Isaac Perine even signs a document stating that he was an infant orphan.

"Remember me in the family tree—
my name, my days, my strife;
Then I’ll ride upon the wings of time
and live an endless life."
