• Notes

  from "The family of John Perkins of Ipswich, Massachusetts" Nathaniel (John, Abraham, John, John) was born in Boston about 1714-15. He was a pupil at the Boston Latin School in 1723, entered Harvard College in 1730, and was graduated in 1734; after his graduation he studied medicine, and practised in Boston. In 1740, his father gave him, by deed of gift, all his property, and he probably succeeded him in his practice. We have no knowledge of his ever being married. He had a house in Wing Lane, Boston, in 1760, and his name is found, with other citizens of Boston, on a petition concerning the paving of Atkinson street, in 1746. In 1762 he, with his sisters, children by Mary Checkley, who are mentioned by name, Hannah Norton and Mary Ingraham, widow, unites in a deed of sale of a "certain mill priviledge which our honored grandfather, Anthony Checkley, deceased, purchased of Richard Currier, of Almsbury, Essex Co. - July 21, 1762." This deed was acknowledged in Boston and Roxbury. We find the following item concerning Dr. Nathaniel. "William Lee Perkins, Doctor, and Nathaniel Perkins, Doctor, are mentioned in the act of confiscation passed in 1778." He died in 1799. (Dr. William L. Perkins was a descendant of Rev. William Perkins, of Topsfield, and was a son of another Dr. John Perkins, of Boston.)
