Captain Perkins was born in the northwesterly part of Lynnfield, on the 18th of July, 1806. His father and grandfather were respectable and thrifty farmers; and farming has been his own life-occupation. The Perkins family probably settled here about the year 1650. It is found that Luke Perkins was a soldier in the King Philip War, and marched against the Indians in 1675. [...ancestors stories...]
Captain John Perkins, whose portrait accompanies this brief sketch, and who gained his title many years since by being commander of a military company, has led a quiet, unostentatious, but useful life. He has been a selectman, assessor and overseer of the poor for more than 20 years, and for several years town clerk. He has likewise held a commission as justice of the peace for 21years, and represented the town in the General Court. His good judgment and neighborly kindness has always been sought and in the settlement of estates of deceased persons, and as guardian of minors, his services and sympathies have been highly appreciated.
Captain Perkins was joined in marriage April 22, 1830, with Catharine S. Sweetser, of South Reading (now Wakefield), and they became the parents of five children:
1. Catherine E., born May 16, 1832;
2. John H., born December 8, 1833;
3. Mary F., born November 14, 1837 ;
4. Adelia J., born September 13, 1845 ;
5. Clara A., born July 17, 1849.
All the children are now, 1887, living, excepting Mary Frances.
