    Notes:

    Published in 1895 for the New England Historical and Genealogical Register by Hon. Joseph W. Porter, of Bangor, Maine with regard to his wife's family genealogy.

    Taken from "An Account Of Part Of The Family of Abraham Perkins Of Hampton, N.H., Who Lived In Plymouth County, Mass," by Hon. Joseph W.Porter, of Bangor, Maine.

    "David Perkins was born in Hampton, N.H., February 28, 1653. He married Elisabeth, daughter of Francis Brown of Beverly, 1675-6. She was born October 17, 1654. He settled in Beverly about 1675. His wife was admitted to the Church there 29th 5 mo 1683. [May 29?] Judge Mitchell, in his history of Bridgewater, gives him, his son David Jr.'s wife and children, and the whole account is badly mixed. He was a blacksmith. He bought lands in Beverly in 1677 and 1680, one parcel of which was an orchard, bought of John Smpson, bounded on land of Mr. Hale, and "Cow Lane," south and west by land formerly Richard Haines, being eight rods below the "Great Rock." He was a juryman at Salem, 1688, and had sold the most of his lands in Beverly prior to that time. He Moved to Bridgewater (South) in 1688, and bought lands of the sons of Solomon Leonard. In 1694 he built the mill in Bridgewater (South). This mill was situated where Lazell, Perkins & Company's mill was in 1840. He was a man of great influence and high character, and in his time the most noted man of the town. He was the first Representative from Bridgewater to the General Court of Massachusetts, after the union of the two Colonies, 1692, 1694, and from 1704 to 1707 inclusive. His wife Elisabeth was dismissed from the church in 1735, aged 80 (g.s.). He died October 1, 1736, aged 88 (g.s.). In his will of June 17,1736, he names sons David, Abraham, Thomas sole executor, and Nathan deceased; grandsons David and Jonathan, Nathan, Timothy, James and Solomon, and granddaughters Martha and Silence."

    David married BROWN, Elizabeth in Jun 1675 in Beverly, Essex, Massachusetts, USA.

    Notes:

    Abraham was born in England about 1613. He first appeared in Hampton, NH, in 1638, having gone there with Rev. Stephen Batchelder from either Ipswich or Newbury, MA. At that time Hampton was in Norfolk Co., MA. He was granted 80 acres of land in Hampton in 1639; he was appointed marshall in 1654. He married Mary Wise before 1639 (she was the daughter of Humphrey and Susan Wise).

    Abraham was made a freeman 13 May 1640. To become a freeman at that time it ws required that the individual be a respected member of some Congregational Church and subsribe to an oath (written out in the source reference) before the General Court of the Quarterly Court of the county.

    In the 1 April 1633 list of men authorized by the court to begin the settlement of Ipswich, the eighth name is "William Perkins" [MBCR 1:103], which must be an error for this John Perkins, inasmuch as WILLIAM PERKINS was at Roxbury at this time, and would not move to Essex County for nearly two decades more.
    BIBLIOGRAPHIC NOTE: In 1959 Walter Goodwin Davis published the English origin of John Perkins and his wife, and pushed the Perkins ancestry back to 1475 [Dudley Wildes Anc81-90].

  3. 10.  WISE, Humphrey Wyeth was born in 1591 in Salisbury, Wiltshire, England; died on 26 Mar 1639 in Ipswich, Essex, Massachusetts, USA.

    Notes:

    Humphrey Wise, the immigrant, was living in Ipswich, Massachusetts in 1635, although we do not know just when he came to America. He had a one acre house lot on the south side of the river, and apparently owned other property. His wife's name was Susanna (Susan), but her surname is not known. Humphrey lived in New England for a short time as he died in 1638; subsequently little information is available about him. He did not leave a will.

    After Humphrey's death Susanna married secondly in 1639, Samuel Greenfield of Salem, who was later accused by the court of having taken into his possession without legal order, the property which had belonged to Humphrey. On Jan. 13, 1639, the General Court of Boston ordered the Court at Ipswich "to examine and settle all things belonging to the estate of Humfrey Wisse, including all the land sold and unsold." The Ipswich Court on Jan. 26, 1639, asked for an inventory of the estate which amounted to about 140 lbs. Mr. Greenfield must have been able to convince the court of his honesty, as it approved the sale of the house and land and such other sales as had already been made, and appointed him as administrator of the estate. He gave bond to handle the money and to bring up the five minor children until the boys were 21 and the girls 18 years of age, at which time each was to receive a cretain portion of the estate.

    The court further agreed that with the consent of Samuel Greenfield and Susan, his wife, that Benjamin the oldest boy, should be apprenticed to his brother-in-law, Abraham Perkins, for seven years from Sept. 29, 1638. Since the apprenticeship was dated back it is probable that Benjamin had been living with his sister, Mary, since that date.

    Humphrey and Susanna had eight children, all or most of whom must have been born in England. We do not have their birthdates or order of their births, except that the last five named were minors at the time of their father's death. The three oldest were apparently married and had received their share of the estate before Humphrey's death.
