  • Notes 
    • from "The family of John Perkins of Ipswich, Massachusetts"
      Isaac (John John) was born in Ipswich, Mass., about 1650. He married, in 1669, Hannah, daughter of Alexander Knight and his wife Hannah. The widow, Hannah Knight, after the death of her husband, married Robert Whitman, Nov. 9, 1664. This marriage of Isaac with Hannah Knight does not appear upon the record, but is made evident by the following abstract: "Isaac Perkins & wife Hannah convey to Richard Kimball land in Ipswich which formerly belonged to her father, Alexander Knight, formerly of Ipswich, Feb. 6, 1716." On the 20 March, 1683-4, his father gave him a deed of a farm of 100 acres in Chebacco Parish, near to what is now called "the Falls;" he had been living there before this deed was made. This was half of the farm his father had bought of William Wittred, carpenter, Aug. 8, 1661; it was owned by a grandson of Isaac in 1790. He appears to have been a man who was highly respected by his neighbors, who spoke of him as "Mr. Isaac Perkins, of Chebacco." His name and that of his wife, Hannah, were often attached to deeds of land; she must have died before his will was signed, as no mention is made of her in that instrument, neither of his oldest son John, or of his heirs, as he had probably died young. His two sons, Abraham and Jacob, were executors of his will, which was made Oct. 26, 1725, and proved Feb. 14, 1725-6. Isaac gave a deed of his farming stock and land in Chebacco to his son Jacob, "in consideration of what duty he is to perform in providing for myself and wife, which he and his heirs stand obliged to perform by a written instrument," from which it would appear that Isaac and Hannah spent their last days in the family of their son Jacob. The facsimile, which is here given, was taken from an autograph made September 8, 1700.
