| 4201 | from "The family of John Perkins of Ipswich, Massachusetts" Benjamin (Benjamin, Francis, Jacob, John, John) was born in Gloucester, Mass., April 1, 1734. He married about 1760. The name of his wife is unknown. (It is with some hesitation that we here offer the suggestion, that the names given as children of Benjamin Perkins, jr., of Gloucester, were, in fact, such as we have stated; but as he was the only person of the name, that we know of, living in Gloucester at the time, who could have sustained that relation, we venture to give it, with the hope, that if wrong, it may be detected and corrected. The records of Gloucester, like those of many other towns at that period, were very imperfectly kept, and we must, at times, venture upon the most plausible inference, until the truth is ascertained.) | Perkins, Benjamin (I20565)

Never ambitious of any other distinction than that of doing his whole duty, industrious, and even laborious, in his calling, honest and high-minded in all his dealings, conscientious in all the relations of life, without reproach, and at peace with all the world, he has pursued the even tenor of his way, with the sincerest respect of all who knew him, and has gone from among us, full of years and of honor. Until within a very short period, he has enjoyed a remarkable degree of bodily health, while his mental faculties were preserved in their full vigor to the last. Not even the distress and sufferings of an exceedingly painful disease could extort from his lips a single murmur of complaint, but everything was endured with the most gentle and unyielding patience. The father of a numerous family, upon whom be had bestowed the inestimable blessings of an admirable training, and the example of a blameless life, he peacefully breathed his last among his children, sustained by the consolations of his religion, and leaving to them the priceless inheritance of an honored and honorable name." | Perkins, David (I17541)
