Jacob Perley¹

• Father: Thomas Perley¹ b. 1641, d. September 24, 1709
• Mother: Lydia Peabody¹ b. 1644, d. April 30, 1715

• Relationship: 1st cousin 9 times removed of Steven George Levine

• Reference: 3846cb

• Jacob Perley was born about 1670 in Rowley, Massachusetts.²
• He was the son of Thomas Perley and Lydia Peabody.¹
• In 1684, Jacob Perley moved to Boxford, Massachusetts, with his father's family, wherein he remained till 1696, or perchance a while longer. He owned the estate on the north side of Baldpate pond in Boxford, in after years owned and occupied by Mr. Augustus M. Perley. He built a dwelling a few rods north of the present [as of 1906] barn, and lived there. The house was taken down about 1817, and a new residence was built. A peculiarity of the old house was the construction of its chimney upon the outside, with an oven opening outward, from which on baking-days, or rather the nights following, it is said, the contents were sometimes purloined, so that occasionally the family must attend the church without the usual inspiration of a baked-bean and suet-pudding breakfast.³
• Jacob married Lydia Peabody on December 6, 1696.²
• He joined the church when his first wife died.⁴
• Jacob married Lydia Peabody on May 9, 1709.²
• In 1730, Jacob Perley moved to Bradford, Massachusetts, where he built a house. Meanwhile he retained an interest in his old residence in Boxford. He also owned an extensive tract of land west of Baldpate pond, and an interest in the Hazeltine meadows in the northern part of the town. A road was laid, 25 Nov 1702, from his house by Thomas Hazen's house, etc. In 1710 he sold five acres of land to the town for the minister's use. The town 14 Mar 1710, passed the following vote: "The Town have voted and given liberty to Ensien Thomas hazen, Jacob perley and david wood to seat up a Saw mill upon the parsioneg fearm, whear they shall see meet and to have a Convenient yard Rouem with a way to the mill and to have all the towens wright and Interest in s^d Convenient sies for thorty years after this tiem without enny lawful molestation from the towen the s^d hazzen Pearly and david wood alowing for the damieg that may bee don by Reason of s^d Saw mill as Rasionel men shal Judg." After a few years the mill came into the possession of Dr. Wood, one of the proprietors. It was located on the "old Dresser road," in the East Parish, on the site of the mill whose ruins remained observable near the residence of the late John O. Batchelder's family.
  
  He had a long and varied experience in town affairs; was selectman in 1708, 1712, 1729 and 1732; a constable in 1705; a surveyor of highways in 1700; a juror in 1703 and 1711; a moderator of town meetings in 1729 and 1731; served on various committees and was town treasurer from 1713 to 1720, and in 1731 and 1732. He commenced his official military career as sergeant in 1705, was promoted to cornet in 1717, and to lieutenant in 1724, wherein he served till his feeble health forbade further duty. With his cousin Jeremiah, he served his people faithfully, efficiently and bravely in the famous expeditions of Capt. Lovewell against the Indians.⁴
  

  This was the style of Mr. Perley's autograph in 1716.
• He and Mehitable Safford published their marriage intention on June 24, 1733.²
• Jacob died in April, 1751 in Bradford, Massachusetts. His will is dated 18 Feb 1750-1, and says he was in health. The probate of his will was taken 29 Apr 1751, which argues a short sickness, if indeed he had any. In it he is called housewright, and he bequeathed to his wife Mehitable "all the household goods shee Brought and whatever else shee brought with her Into my estate at our marriage"; also the use of half his house in Bradford, or "if she chouse Instead of it, she shall have all my Interest in the house I formerly Dwelt in at Boxford." He also devised land in Boxford to his sons. Daniel Black, Paul Pritchard and Solomon Wood witnessed his will and were all present when it was proved. The probate value of his estate was £654 7s. 3d. The inventory valued "Half ye old house & half ye barn in Boxford £6 13s. 4d."; "the house and six acres of land in Bradford £133 6s. 8d.," and "about six acres of pasture land in Bradford £20." His son Francis was his executor.⁵

The name of it now is Wilton, Franklin County, Maine. Since Moses and Aaron seem not to have been of the family, they were probably "put out," upon the death of their mother.²
