PERKINS, Joseph, s. Abraham and Esther, bp. 17: 6m: 1712.
- from "The family of John Perkins of Ipswich, Massachusetts"
Joseph (Abraham, Abraham, John, John ) was born in Ipswich, Mass., and was baptized Aug. 17, 1712. His wife's name was Martha, but no intimation is given by the records as to the time or place of their marriage. His mother, Esther, in her last will, gives "to Esther, the daughter of my son Joseph." Joseph was a blacksmith by trade, as we learn from one of his deeds of real estate. He early left Ipswich to settle in Scarborough, Me. ; he afterwards removed to Falmouth, in the same state, and returned again. In October, 1763, he sold to his brother, Nathaniel, who was a ship-joiner in Ipswich, his portion of the homestead of his grandfather, Abraham. That estate was to be divided between the three sons of his father, Abraham, by a provision made in the last will of his grandmother, Hannah. Of his children Ave know but little. Upon the records of the Probate Court for the county of Essex, Vol. 30, p. 221, we find the following entry: "Guardianship of Abraham and Esther Perkins, under 14 years, children of Joseph Perkins of Scarborough, in the County of York, was given to Martha, widow of the deceased, May 8, 1752," which was shortly after his death.
