| 4152 | from "The Duluth News-Tribune", 29 Apr 1910 (genealogybank.com) WOMAN WHO COMMITEED SUICIDE BY TAKING POISON WAS AUTHOR OF MANY LITERARY WORKS Mrs. E.L. Raab who died Wednesday after taking bichloride of mercury tablets with the view of ending her life, was a poetress of no mean ability. The products of her pen have been published in many of the leading papers of the northwest. Through all of her literary efforts there is a current of sorrow, which seems to have pervaded her entire life. "The Master's Touch," a poem by Mrs. Raab, was published in the News Tribune several years ago. It was composed by her while she lay at a hospital convalescing from an operation on an ulcerated tooth, a illness that came near causing her death. | Capitain, Manette A (I4453)

| 4172 | from "The Fair Haven Era", 19 Dec 1912 (newspapers.com) Mrs. Sarah P Shepard, wife of Fennimore H. Shepard, died at her home on Washington Street, Friday afternoon December 13th, at 1:45 o’clock. She had been in failing health for some months and in September went to the Albany hospital for treatment but the Physicians found her condition such that it was impossible to give any permanent help. Regaining strength somewhat, Mrs. Shepherd was brought home in October and since then gradually failed until the end came and she entered into eternal rest. Mrs. Shepherd was the youngest daughter of the late Dr. Joseph Perkins and Cynthia (Claghorn) Perkins and was born in Castleton, June 30, 1843. She was the last member of the family. Her father was one of the most eminent physicians of Vermont and for many years was president of the Castleton Medical College, which institution during his change was best known of any in the state. Mrs. Shepard was educated at the Castleton seminary and at Glenwood seminary in Brattleboro. November 9th, 1871, she was married to Fenimore H. Shepard and in the following year removed to Fair Haven, to the same home where she died. She is survived by her husband and five children, Iola S. wife of Edwin T. Hanford of Middletown, N.Y., Mary K. wife of Clayton W. Parker of this village, Gertrude E. wife of Eugene E. Ward of Amherst, Mass., Joseph P. and Charles H., who are associated in business with their father and also by seven grandchildren. Mrs. Shepherd had been for many years a consistent member of the First Congregational church. Gifted with a keen intellect, she took a deep interest in the literary movements of the day and yet was so devoted to her family and her home life that few outside of her immediate circle of intimate friends had opportunity to know of her and her wide sympathy with all that makes up the best in life. She took great delight in the interest of her children and their families and the picture in Proverbs of the home keeping wife may be aptly applied to her, “her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also and he praiseth her.” The funeral services were held at her late residence, Tuesday afternoon and were attended by a large circle of sorrowing friends. Her pastor, Rev. Robert H. Ball had charge of the services, assisted by Reverend E.C. Farwell of the Methodist church. During the service, Mrs. J.P. Shepherd and Arthur Baker, sang “Nearer My God to Thee.” The interment was in Cedar Grove cemetery. The pallbearers were Joseph Shepard, Charles Shepard, Clayton Parker, Eugene Ward, Edwin Hanford and Dr.. W.C. Greer. There was a profusion of floral offerings. Aside from those from the family and immediate friends there were beautiful pieces from the Business Men's association, Young Men's Bible class of the Methodist church, Congregational church and Sunday school the Monday club, Chautauqua club of Middletown N.Y.. and Doctor E.D. Keys and Co.of Rutland. The stores are all closed during the funeral as an expression of sympathy for Mr. Shepherd who is the oldest merchant in town. | Perkins, Sarah S (I11846)

| 4178 | from "The family of John Perkins of Ipswich, Massachusetts" 39 Gains {Wm., Abraham, Abraham, Isaac, John, John) was born in Lyme, Conn., Sept. 9, 1778. He removed to Hartland, Vt., and afterwards to South Woodstock, Vt., in 1801. There he married Eunice Field, June 26, 1804. She was born Feb. 12, 1785, and died June 25, 1858. He earned on an extensive business of tanning and shoemaking in South Woodstock for many years, and died there March 3, 1870. He was an ardent supporter of institutions of learning, and contributed largely towards the establishment and support of an academy in South Woodstock. We quote the following in relation to him from Prof. W.R. Shipman. "Major Gaius Perkins died in South Woodstock, March 3, 1870, aged ninety-one years and six months. His long life was not more remarkable for the number of its days than for the wonderful preservation, to its very close, of the faculties and spirit of youth. He was not, indeed, exempt from the weariness of age, but not one of his senses was materially impaired; his judgment remained adequate to the transaction of business, while his heart was as young as ever; and his interest in passing events, whether of the neighborhood or the nation, was undiminished. Naturally social, he was to the last a genial companion for all, and his beautiful old age was a perpetual joy to the home in which children's children rose up to call him blessed. His favor was extended to all good enterprises, and he always heeded the injunction to 'follow after the things that make for peace.' A life-long and active Universalist, his venerable form was, until very recently, familiar in the gatherings of the denomination far and near. He made the first and largest subscription in Vermont, for the Green Mountain Central Institute (Now, the Green Mountain Perkins Academy), and gave more than any others to sustain our school at South Woodstock. It was hardly too much to say that, as his last days were his best, so like the evening twilight were his lingering years. Honored and loved by a multitude of friends, his memory will long be cherished in their hearts, while he, departing from the earth at peace with man and God, and now, united with the great company of the redeemed, shall dwell forever in the mansions of the blest." | Perkins, Gaius (I9206)

|
| 4189 | from "The family of John Perkins of Ipswich, Massachusetts" Abraham (John, John) was born in Ipswich in 1640. He married Oct. 16, 1661, Hannah, daughter of William and Hannah Beamsley, of Boston. She was born in December, 1643. Abraham Perkins was a man of very considerable energy and enterprise, and had the full confidence of his father. He was the oldest son, after the death of his brother John, and acted as his father's attorney in his old age. It is very probable that his father died at his house, as he had made his home there after the death of his wife. He is said to have built the Ipswich meeting-house, which Hammat says he contracted to do " to the turning of the key." He was at one time an innholder, as appears from his licenses and from two deeds of land he had sold, in which he calls himself an "Innholder." Jan. 2, 1698, "I, Abraham Perkins, Innholder, and Hannah my wife," sell to Capt. Daniel Rindge, of Ipswich, carpenter, 2 1/2 acres of marsh at Plum Island; March 28, 1700-1, "I, Abraham Perkins, Innholder, and Hannah my wife," sell to Col. John Wainwright, 2 1/2 acres of upland and meadow. He was a representative to the General Court in 1710. He owned and cultivated "Perkins Island," formerly granted to his grandfather, John, sen., and employed his brother Luke to "tend cattle," etc., there, as Luke testifies in a suit between Thomas Borman and Aljraham Perkins, that he had lived upon the Island for several years. The death of Abraham Perkins was very sudden, and took place on the 27th of April, 1722, and was the result of an accident, "he being run over by a tumbril which broke many bones across his breast." At that time he was eighty-two years old. Abraham Perkins gave all his property, real and personal, to his wife, by his last will, to be disposed of by her to their children at her death. His widow, who died Oct. 16, 1732, at the age of ninety-one years, makes the following bequests in her last will, as follows: she gives the homestead of her late husband to the three children of her son Abraham; namely, to Joseph, Nathaniel and Abraham; Abraham to have a double share, that is one-half of the house. These three grandsons were then under age. She mentions her son Stephen, but speaks of her son Abraham as deceased; she speaks also of her loving and dutiful son, Doct. John Perkins, as having had his share already. She gives to Sarah, Hannah and Martha, daughters of my son Beamsley; and to Abraham and Sarah, children of my son Nathaniel; to Hannah Stanford, daughter of my daughter Hannah, the Late wife of Daniel Rindge of Ipswich; to John and Mary, children of my daughter Martha Brewer, late deceased; to Joseph and Elizabeth children of my daughter Elizabeth Eveleth, deceased; to my grandson Samuel Ingalls, son of Martha, my said daughter. Her son Stephen she appoints to be the executor of her will, which was signed February 1, 1722-3, and proved in Court, October 23, 1732. The sudden death of her husband, it may be supposed, prevented him from making such a will as he desired. His will was made the day before he died. His signature, as here made Nov. 20, 1684. | Perkins, Abraham (I2742)

| 4190 | from "The family of John Perkins of Ipswich, Massachusetts" Abraham (Nathaniel, Abraham, Abraham, John, John) was born in Ipswich, Mass., and was baptized June 14, 1747. He married Mary, who was born in 1753, and died April 20, 1828, at the age of seventy-five years. He died in Ipswich Nov. 2, 1842, at the very great age of ninety-six years. We give the following article, which appeared in the newspaper of the day, concerning him. "Mr. Abraham Perkins died in Ipswich Nov. 2, 1842. He was the oldest citizen, at the time of his death. He retained his faculties up to the time of his last sickness, in a remarkable degree, and through his long life had the esteem and confidence of his friends for his many virtues and excellent qualities. During the Revolutionary contest he was in many perilous engagements, both in the army and navy, and was distinguished for courage, enterprise and energy; and, in addition to a pension from his government, received testimonials from gentlemen of distinction in different parts of the country, as well as in his own state." His name is found upon the pension roll as receiving from the government ninety-six dollars per annum. He was familiarly known in Ipswich, at the time of his death, as "old uncle Abraham Perkins." He was by trade a shipwright. | Perkins, Abraham (I20815)

He was chosen a deacon of the church in Lyme. By occupation he was farmer. The will of Deacon Abraham Perkins was signed April 3, 1786, and proved Sept. 11, 1786. At this time his wife, Mary, was living. In his will he mentions his children as follows: Francis, William, Abraham, jr., Betty Mather, Daniel, Samuel, Sarah Pratt, Joseph and Benjamin. His sons, William, Samuel and Abraham, were names as the executors of the will. A stone in the graveyard, of Lyme, bears this inscription, "Dea. Abraham Perkins died May 19, 1786, in the 73d year of his age." BIRTH NOTE: Birth date is normally listed as 1708. There appears to be a transcription error associated with the gravestone (73 vs 78). Assuming that gravestone is correct for now. MILITARY NOTE: Revolutionary War veteran. Sergt. in Capt. Jewett's Co. at Lexington Alarm 1775. | Perkins, Abraham (I2703)

|
| 4197 | from "The family of John Perkins of Ipswich, Massachusetts" Beamsley (Abraham, John John) was born in Ipswich, Mass., April 7, 1673. He was married in September, 1698, to Hannah Glazier, who Nathaniel Emerson says was his daughter. She was a widow Glazier when married to Capt. Beamsley Perkins. After this marriage, Abraham Perkins, the father of Beamsley, commenced a suit against Rev. John Emerson, of Gloucester, who had married them, for performing the marriage ceremony illegally, inasmuch as they had not before been regularly published. Emerson acknowledged his fault and paid his fine. Beamsley Perkins was a mariner, and was early in life the owner and captain of a sloop. In 1716, he commanded the brig Ipswich of 100 tons. At the time of the attack of the British forces upon Port Royal, in 1710, he commanded "Her Majesty's ship Dispatch, friggott," mounting twenty guns. He retained his interest in shipping until his death, and was always addressed as Capt Beamsley Perkins. Two small vessels are mentioned upon the inventory of his property, viz.: " 1 skooner valued at £200, a small' skooner at £22. ? Sea beding £4. Instruments of navigation 30 shillings." In 1714, he bought of his father, Perkins Island, said in the deed to contain " 100 acres more or less." This Island, with the stage and buildings, was valued at £800, and was probably used for the curing of fish; a part of this property he resold to his father the same year. He sold a large farm in 1719 to Thomas Choate for £1400. He had sold a large portion of Perkins Island before his death. His will was executed Feb. 5, 1718-19, and proved July 29, 1720. His estate was valued at £1587. He gave all his property to wife, Hannah, during her life, to be distributed "to her children" at her death. His wife, Hannah, was appointed executrix. His death upon the town record reads thus: " Capt. Beamsley Perkins died at his house in Ipswich ye twenty third day of July 1720, being 47 years three mo. and 16 days old." The inscription upon his tombstone makes an error of about two years in his age. He is therestated to be "in ye 45th year of his age." In the disposition of some of his property after his death, his widow and four of her children by her first husband, Glazier, sign a deed, as well as the children of Capt. Beamsley. They sign as " children of Hannah and legatees of said Beamsley." | Perkins, Beamsley (I19604)

The names of two of his children and the time of their baptisms are given below. | Perkins, Beamsley (I20794)

She was a daughter of Capt. Ariel Jones. She was born June 12, 1768, and died Dec. 6, 1828. The time of his removal from Lyme is not known. In 1807, being out of health, he made a journey on horseback from Vermont to visit his relatives, John and James Perkins, and others at Chebacco, Mass. On his return, being in better health, he writes to them from Bridgewater, Windsor Co., Vermont; which, it is evident, was his home at that time. He was a physician. He died Feb. 13, 1813. | Perkins, Benjamin (I2715)
