Notes |
- from "The family of John Perkins of Ipswich, Massachusetts"
Sarah (John, John). The date of her birth is not known. In giving her evidence in a suit against Sergeant Wayte, April 10, 1683, she says: "I, Sarah Perkins, being at my father. Quartermaster John Perkins his house, the last September Court, I see Sergt Wayte," etc., etc. It would be not a little singular if a family of eight sons should not have, at least, one daughter also, but as the above affidavit contains all the evidence we find that he had a daughter Sarah, this is open to a doubt, as Jacob, son of John, had at the same time a wife Sarah; it is not, therefore, impossible that it was a daughter-in-law who gives this evidence.
