• Allen Perley was born on May 9, 1718 on the immigrant-ancestral estate, "Ipswich Farms."²
• He was the son of Stephen Perley and Hannah Coker.¹
• Jeremiah Perley was appointed guardian of Allen and Sarah, 26 Jul 1736, when they were over fourteen years of age.¹
• Allen married Martha Fowler on November 10, 1757, daughter of John and Mercy (How) Fowler.²
• Mr. Perley lived upon the parental estate, till about the time of his marriage, when he became owner of the house, hitherto that of his brother-in-law, Samuel Perley. The house was built by the first Samuel, and was located on a site near the residence of the late Silas Per1ey. It was, in 1767, removed across the brook there, and sold, in 1784 to Capt. Abraham How, who occupied it till he was succeeded by his son Abel Howe, who reared there a large and interesting family of children, and with the land adjoining was sold, 24 Feb 1870, for $250, to M. V. B. Perley, who razed it and opened the land to other land contiguous.
  
  He returned to his early home, upon the sale to Capt. How, and became a farmer of means and importance. He, as did his father and grandfather, attended church at Topsfield and thus was much more identified with the Topsfield than with the Ipswich history, being from the former center two miles, and six from the latter.
  
  He was a member of Capt. Abraham How's company, that marched toward the scene of conflict, on that truly historic day at Concord and Lexington, proceeding twelve miles and drawing pay for a day's service.
  
  Probably Mr. Perley was never a member of a church, but after the Parish church was organized in 1746, he owned a pew.³
  

  He was made guardian of his sister Hovey's children 22 Mar 1705, and his autograph, here shown, was attached to his bond as guardian.
• He died on October 14, 1804 at age 86. He made his will 3 Apr 1804; witnesses: James Smith, Timothy Morse, Jr., and Timothy Morse, and executors: Lt. John Fowler and his son Jacob Perley. It was proved 5 Nov 1804. The probate value of his estate was $4375, personal $390, real $3985.
  
  His widow had the improvement of the east end of the house, the west half of the barn, half of the homestead and half of the salt marsh, during her life; and also half of his live stock, and all his provisions in the house or growing in the field, all his furniture and money he had at his decease.
  
  His son Allen had an adjoining farm that was bought of Joseph Fisk.
  
  His grandsons, Allen's sons, had half the live stock.
  
  His son John had all his lands in Boxford, about twenty acres in Ipswich, on which John afterwards lived; his sons John and Jacob had all his salt marsh, lying in Ipswich, after their mother's use; his son Stephen had $1 paid by Jacob; his daughter Deborah had $150 paid by John; his daughter Hannah had $150 paid by John; his daughter Sarah, had, after her mother's death, the income of a third of his real estate, called the Home lot, except cutting or selling wood more than enough for one tire, till she married, when Jacob was to give her $200 in lieu of it. She had, also, while unmarried, the use of the lower rooms in the east end of his house and the chamber over the back room, and a third of the barn.
  
  His sons, John and Jacob, had his pew, and his wife and daughter Sarah had privileges to sit in it; his sons had his clothing; his son Jacob had the remainder, personal and real, which included the farm on which he lived—Allan's later home.

• Allen Perley was born on June 9, 1750 in Boxford, Massachusetts.²
• He was the son of Maj. Asa Perley and Susannah Low.¹
• He sojourned in Ward, now Auburn, and removed to Gardner. The attraction to that section about that time was the movement in real estate. Massachusetts had paid her soldiers of the French and Indian Wars in wild land in the northern middle part of the State, and farms and sections could be bought in many instances very cheap. Asa Perley, gentleman, and Thomas Perley, yeoman, both of Boxford, sold 19 Apr 1769, for £66, 150 acres of land to Peter Damon of Weston.—Registry, 64: 154. They sold 13 Feb., 1767, for £133 6s. 8d., 175 acres in Weston to Joseph Parker of the same place. This was a part of the land laid out to Capt. Thomas Perley and Capt. Stephen Peabody. The witnesses were Dudley Perley and Enoch Perley.—Registry, 66: 523. All these persons were Allen's neighbors in Boxford. He may have been an agent there for the sale of these lands.²
• Allen Perley and Judith Case published their marriage intention on September 11, 1779 in Winchendon, Massachusetts.²
• Allen married Lydia Porter on January 29, 1794 in Gardner, Massachusetts, (int. 24 Nov 1793.)²
• He was in Gardner a selectman 1800-1, and member of the school board in 1808. His father, Asa of Boxford, gentleman, gave "his son Allen, cordwainer, of Boxford," 80 acres of land No. 176, in Winchendon, drawn on the original right of Thomas Lord, 4 Jun 1776, witnesses Samuel Perley and Solomon Perley.?Registry, 77: 103.²
• He died in December, 1829, probably in Gardner, Massachusetts, at age 79. Lydia Perley was administratrix of estate of Allen Perley of Gardner, 20 Jan 1830. The inventory of Allen of Gardner's estate was filed 23 Feb 1803— real estate $30 and personal $149.35. It seems by registry, 341: 1 and 344: 277, that Allen sold his estate, for $1000, to his son Asa in consideration of the support of himself and his wife Lydia during their natural lives, 30 Jul 1828, half of lot of 80 acres, formerly in Winchendon, but in Gardner at that time. This transaction occasioned the small probate inventory in 1830.²
