Not thinking that Mary Perkins 1's birth location is to the Essex MA Berverly County area.

Thanks for removing that as the Perkins of La Louisiane were not Protestant as that was against the government policy to allow immigration at the time of this profile from Protestants, "After the founding of Natchitoches (1714) Red River became an important trade route. With increasing traffic, a modest military post was established to protect the portage at Les Rapides. About the stockade a trading settlement gradually developed.
In the 1760s a group of Appalache Indians, unwilling to live under the British to whom their land near Mobile was ceded in 1763, moved to Les Rapides, where a chapel, know as St. Louis des Appalages, was established for them by the Capuchins. French soldiers from Canada had taken up land grants and become small-scale planters and traders and the first Acadian exiles had arrived. Spanish officials and traders established themselves at the post after the transfer of Louisiana from France to Spain.

This Mary Perkins probably died in South Carolina.

Likely the 4th cousins on 23andMe of this profiled ancestor have the answer as to their 15 cm matches to each other in the SC area and can mirror tree this at the 5th generation level.

Sorry to say, but people are posting wrong information. It is known that in the past, before more information was found that, many family's linked Mary 1 and Esther 1 to other family's to disguise / hide the fact that they were Mullato.
Some have gone so far as to assign unelated parents to Joshua "Old Jock" Perkins and his siblings.

Parents of Mary Perkins 1 are unknown as is her place of birth
Parents of Esther Perkins 1 are unknown as is her place of birth.

And too, many people have become confused with so many people with the same name from one generation to another.

I have spoken to too many people who have taken their time and energy and finances to travel around the country visiting and researching courthouse records and newspaper archives

Until PROVEN otherwise, the information that I and others have found will be taken as proof.

I was wondering where the bizarre Massachusetts birth place came from. It’s at FamilySearch if someone wants to edit.

The profile there has good notes though - for the other Mary (Black) Perkins - and also mentions the Ober name.
—-

Per deposition testimony from Anna Graves, Old Jock's granddaughter, in Perkins v White trial (1858 Tennessee), Mary Polly Black married Old Jock in 1793, in which case she could not have been the mother of his children. Per TAR Nelson's appeal points from that trial, Mary was still alive in 1858 when she submitted an affidavit for use in the trial (the judge did not allow the affidavit into evidence). Estimating she was about 20 years old when she married, Mary Polly Black was born about 1773 and would have been 85 in 1858. She could not have been the child of Nathaniel Black and Mary Ober.

Please don’t change names, ask for a disconnect instead.

I’ve locked relationships for the Joshua “Old Jock” Perkins immediate family. I am quite satisfied with what Ronald Wong is explaining, partly because it’s (more or less) what Dr Henry Louis Gates “ put on television” years ago. I’m not arguing with the man! I do expect that research continues and refines.
