- Amos Perley was born perhaps 1779.
- He was the son of Nathan Perley and Sarah Symonds.1
- Amos Perley was a school teacher. In an advertisement of his school to begin in Salem 10 Apr 1810, he "tenders his grateful acknowledgments for past favors," and will limit the numbers of his scholars to thirty. He "will open a department for females." The branches to be taught were reading, writing, arithmetic, geography, English grammar, drawing, painting, embroidery and various kinds of needlework. The tuition was four to five dollars. It is understood that he and his wife sometime taught in the Bradford Academy. Both were pupils there and may have been pupil-assistants, though there may be no record of it.1
- He married Hannah Carleton of Bradford on March 31, 1810, and had no children, though both were very fond of them. Relinquishing teaching, they retired to a farm in Dracut, Massachusetts.1
- As of 1816, Amos Perley and Hannah Carleton of Bradford lived at Bradford, Massachusetts, and had seven pupil-boarders.1
- 1818, he organized the first Sunday School in Dracut. He was a deacon in the Central Congregational Church there from 19 Dec 1827.1
- In 1837 in Dracut, Massachusetts, while gathering apples, a sudden pain seized his arm. The pain increased; it became severe in the extreme. The cause was never explained; his death ensued a week later.
He made his will 2 Nov 1837. It was proved 9 Jan 1838. He is styled yeoman. He bequeathed his brothers Edmund and Asa, his sisters Mehitable Bennett, wife of Sewell; Lydia Metcalt, widow, and Sarah Keen, wife of James, and his mother, Sarah Perley, one dollar each; his niece, Mehitable Smart five hundred dollars. He desired that Niece Mehitable might continue to live with his widow as usual and share her interest and affection. His wife Hannah C. had the rest of the estate and was nominated executrix.2

- Amos Pettingill Perley was born on April 26, 1835. When some more than twenty years of age (Squire Blodgette says in 1860), he went to Valparaiso, Chile, South America. There he became a shepherd and owned an extensive ranch upon the Andes Mountains. In a stubborn defense of his flocks, by himself and assistants against marauding Indians, he was mortally wounded. He was taken to a hospital in Valparaiso, where he died. He was buried in the Protestant cemetery in that city. That was about the year 1890. He was never married.1
- He was the son of John Perley and Ann D. Haskell of Newburyport.1

- Artemas Ward Perley was born on January 29, 1776 in East Boxford, Massachusetts, on the present (as of 1906) T. P. Killam place.2
- He was the son of Nathaniel Perley and Mehitable Perley.1
- Artemas Ward Perley was a farmer and lived on the parental estate. Mr. Perley's Boxford residence was the style that begun about 1670, having the long back roof, two stories high, two large rooms in front and a large kitchen and two bedrooms in the rear, on the first floor. It was destroyed by fire in Apr 1832, together with the barn, which was very large, and other out buildings.
(The house seems to have been predestined to a baptism of fire. Once it caught from the improper disposal of ashes and live coals by the hired girl. Again it was discovered to be on fire by Mr. Perley's son, Haskell, who was returning about 11 o'clock at night from Topsfield, where he was engaged for the season at farming. When some distance from the house, he saw the light and hastening forward found the front room was on fire. Instead of disturbing the family, who were asleep, he soon extinguished the flames. The big back-log of the great fireplace had rolled out of its place and kindled a wicked fire. Haskell retired and in the morning told his parents the tale of their deliverance.)
Mr. Perley then removed to the residence of his brother Amos, who was lately deceased, and whose farm was nearly contiguous. He remained there a few months only.2 - Artemas married Eleanor Putnam of Danvers on March 20, 1803 as his first wife.2
- Artemas married Elizabeth Gould on May 20, 1823 as his second wife and her second husband.2
- About 1833, Artemas Ward Perley moved to the ancient Zaccheus Gould mansion in Topsfield, Massachusetts, where he spent the remnant of his life except a short time in Hampstead, N. H., where he owned a farm.
The parental estate was his till about 1838, when he sold it to Joseph Hale, who erected a house on the site of the old cooper shop of Mr. Perley's father. Mr. Hale crowned the site of the old house that was burned with a new and spacious one in 1841, and occupied it till 1862. In 1906, it was owned by Mr. Thos. Perley Killam.
He was a man of means and held in good repute. He was surveyor of highways 1810, 1815, 1820, 1826; on the school board 1811, 1820, and surveyor of highways in Topsfield 1837.2 - Artemas married Huldah Gould on February 28, 1833 as his third wife. They were married by Rev. J. F. McEwen.2
- Artemas died on January 6, 1862 at age 85.3
