From Welsh Mormon History:

Perkins, William - Biography

WILLIAM PERKINS AND JANE MATHEWS Oldest son of Thomas Perkins

In 1807 Sketty, situated to the WSW of Swansea, was a cluster of farms bordering on the suburbs of this industrial port. Today it forms part of Swansea proper. It was here on 16 February 1807 that William, son of Thomas Pergrin and Ann Evans, was born.[1]

Thomas and Ann were not married, however, and it was apparently decided by them that Thomas would take care of the child. Ann later married John Jenkins and had one child. They lived and died at Caebricks in Swansea.'
