• Notes

  from "Genealogical and Personal Memoirs Relating to the Families of Boston and Eastern Massachusetts", Vol 2, 1908 Captain Joseph Perkins, eldest son of Captain Joseph and Elizabeth (Hunt) Perkins was born probably in Salem, March 27, 1810, and died there November 20, 1883. He was licensed pilot April 27, 1827, and continued in active duty until physical infirmities led him to give up his office. He was perhaps the most active of the three famous pilots who had the same name, his father, himself, and his own son, and notwithstanding the fact that he weighed nearly four hundred pounds he was remarkably agile and rarely "missed connection" when he saw that his service was needed. And none of the three were idle for want of employment, for they all had the confidence and friendship of the Salem merchants and vessel owners, masters felt secure if their ships were in charge of Captain Perkins, whichever of the three it might be. Their services as pilots covered a period of more than three quarters of a century. Captain Perkins, second, married Maria Burnham. from "Massachusetts, Death Records, 1841-1915" (ancestry.com) Joseph Perkins, age 74y 7m 24d, a pilot residing Salem MA, born Salem to Joseph Perkins b. ME & Elizabeth Hunt b. Salem MA, died 20 Nov 1883 in Salem MA of diabetes & gangrene.
