The following taken from rootsweb.com, from Sonya DeVanes,
"The Many Branches of My Family Tree":
On July 5, 1665, William and 30 other convicted Quakers were sent to Virginia and New England. They
were exiled because of their religious beliefs. They came over on "The Nicholas of London", this is located on document
No. 661. Most of the Larkins who stayed in North Carolina, near Wilmington, spelled their name with an 'S', the others
took the name"Larkin", most of those individuals stayed in the New Endland area or Northern States.
Many different spellings of Larkins-Lark-Larklyn-Larkin-Learkin, the majority of the families stayed in
North Carolina and Virginia - 11 families. The others stayed in New England - 27 families. This information from
early 1700. The average family size is listed at 5.4 persons. By 1790 there were already 306 Larkins in the United
States and this totaled 70 families.
Larkins is an English name which means Merry person, or an early riser. It is also the name of a person
who netted birds and sold them at the market.
