Source: Ancestors and Descendants of JEHU COX, by Wayne D. Stout. He
attributes the Perkins "sketchy pedegree" to an unpublished manuscriptentitled
the Perkins Family by M. L. Marston, found in the New England Genealogical
Library at Boston in 1950.
The spelling of this name was provided by Lillian Etter of the SanDiego
Family History Center, whose husband, William Eller, is a descendent ofthe Perkins line.
He had 12 children, 5 by the first Alice and 7 by the second Alice.
Evidence suggests that--apart from the three eldest daughters--allof Isaac Perkins' living children accompanied him to New England. Thomasmay have died young, or may have already been married and established inor around Hillmorton. Abraham, Jacob and Isaac certainly came to NewEngland. Mary, youngest daughter, wed Henry Green, who was In Ipswich by1642. Noyes notes Mary Green's children were called cousin by thechildren of Abraham and Isaac Perkins Jr.; she died 26 April 1690 inHampton. The next youngest daughter, Lydia, was surely first wife (m.c1638 & d. c1649) of Francis Peabody of Ipswich. Noyes notes a connectionbetween Lydia Peabody and Susanna Perk-ins, wife of Isaac Jr. Lydia wasthe right age to have married Francis Peabody; her last child (b. 1648)was named Isaac, after his grandfather and/or uncle. Alice Perk-ins ( b.1613) 'may have been the first wife of Moses Cox, also of Ipswich beforemoving to Hampton. There are no confirming clues here, although the factthat Leah Cox--Moses' daughter by his second marriage--wed James, son ofAbraham Perkins, indicates a relationship between the families. The otherPerkins daughters, Abigail and Hannah, 'perhaps died young or were wivesof other early Ipswlch or Hampton settlers.
