• Notes

  from "The family of John Perkins of Ipswich, Massachusetts" Joseph (Abraham, Isaac, John, John), or "Captain Joseph," as he was called, was born in Chebacco Parish, Ipswich, Mass., March 12, 1720. He married Elizabeth Choate, of Chebacco. They were published Jan. 7, 1743. She was a daughter of Lieut. Thomas Choate, and was born Aug. 2, 1723. She died Oct. 4, 1800. He was a mariner, and at one time was captain of a fishing vessel, buying his stores, lines, hooks, etc., and disposing of his cargo of fish in Marblehead. After leaving the sea, he engaged extensively in tanning and shoemaking in Chebacco. On the 18th of April, 1743, Joseph Perkins and Thomas Choate, jr., bought, for £928, O.T., twenty-six acres of land of Francis Cogswell, tanner, and Hannah, his wife : one-half of this land was to go to said Thomas, and the other half to said Joseph. From the bounds, as given in the deed, which is quite long, it was evidently land tiat had been used by its former owner for tanning purposes. This was, probably, where he commenced his business as a tanner. Later in life he kept a house of entertainment in Chebacco, Ipswich, and was known on the records as an "Innholder." He took an active part in church matters, and was chosen clerk of the church, of which Rev. Mr. Cleaveland was pastor, on its first organization; he was also its treasurer. He died April 4. 1805, at the age of eighty-five years. He was highly respected by his townsmen.
