• Notes

  from "The family of John Perkins of Ipswich, Massachusetts" Asa ( William, Francis, Jacob, Isaac, John, John) was born in Surry, N.H., Nov. 9, 1799. He married Martha Esten, September, 1824. She was born in Rhode Island, Jan. 26, 1806. He is a farmer. They reside in Perrinton, Munroe Co., upon the farm which he purchased more than half a century ago. Both are living and in good health at this time (1884). from " Landmarks of Monroe County, NY", 1895 (archive.org) Perkins, Asa F., is a son of] Asa, Sr., now deceased, who was prior to 1827 a spinner in a woolen mill at Smithfield, Mass., where he married Martha Erten (sic, Esten), who was also an operative in the mills. In 1827 they started on what was in those times a long journey, by wagon, to Troy, N. Y., where they took canal passage. They settled first in Penfield, and four years later removed to Perinton by ox team. Their happy married life covered a period of sixty-nine years, broken by the death of Mr. Perkins in 1892, at the age of ninety-two. Mrs. Perkins survives him, at the age of eighty-eight, a remarkable instance of mental and physical preservation.
