Since my father's more significant assertion was and is that John Perrot the Quaker is the same person as my named 7th great grandfather Perrot ap Rice 1598: I thought you should review the titles of his Pamplets written from Italy at Bedlam Prison. Since his father was a trained seaman (See John Peratt II 1565 raised by Admiral of the Fleet Sir John Perrot) You might be interested in the writings of such a mad Man....Who saw the Unity in all Creatures of the Earth including man 200 years prior to Charles Darwin. His education as Sir Thomas qp Rhys son means he had a good education as did his biological father enrolled at Greys Inn 1580-83. The Titles are most revealing in my view: I especially liked the one 1/2 way down the list "The Sufferings of Royalty among the Brethern" or some such title. If you want to talk about him fine. If not that's fine too. All I know is my father said he turned over a new leaf in America after leaving Wales owing over 640 lbs sterling....and made off with goods intended for the Kings Army via his brother in laws no doubt SAMPSON LORT ( who married Perrot's sister Letice). Scroll down 1/2 way to John Perrot the Quqker
