Notes - Published in 1895 for the New England Historical and Genealogical Register by Hon. Joseph W. Porter, of Bangor, Maine with regard to his wife's family genealogy.
Taken from "An Account Of Part Of The Family of Abraham Perkins Of Hampton, N.H., Who Lived In Plymouth County, Mass," by Hon. Joseph W.Porter, of Bangor, Maine.
"David Perkins was born in Hampton, N.H., February 28, 1653. He married Elisabeth, daughter of Francis Brown of Beverly, 1675-6. She was born October 17, 1654. He settled in Beverly about 1675. His wife was admitted to the Church there 29th 5 mo 1683. [May 29?] Judge Mitchell, in his history of Bridgewater, gives him, his son David Jr.'s wife and children, and the whole account is badly mixed. He was a blacksmith. He bought lands in Beverly in 1677 and 1680, one parcel of which was an orchard, bought of John Smpson, bounded on land of Mr. Hale, and "Cow Lane," south and west by land formerly Richard Haines, being eight rods below the "Great Rock." He was a juryman at Salem, 1688, and had sold the most of his lands in Beverly prior to that time. He Moved to Bridgewater (South) in 1688, and bought lands of the sons of Solomon Leonard. In 1694 he built the mill in Bridgewater (South). This mill was situated where Lazell, Perkins & Company's mill was in 1840. He was a man of great influence and high character, and in his time the most noted man of the town. He was the first Representative from Bridgewater to the General Court of Massachusetts, after the union of the two Colonies, 1692, 1694, and from 1704 to 1707 inclusive. His wife Elisabeth was dismissed from the church in 1735, aged 80 (g.s.). He died October 1, 1736, aged 88 (g.s.). In his will of June 17,1736, he names sons David, Abraham, Thomas sole executor, and Nathan deceased; grandsons David and Jonathan, Nathan, Timothy, James and Solomon, and granddaughters Martha and Silence."
