Notes for Joseph (Spouse 1)
son of Jacob Perkins and Hannah Borman
one of the three first pioneers who visited Unity NH about the date of its first charter (1764). He married Anna Batchelder and removed from Topsfield to Unity in 1775 or 1776. His family then consisted of five sons and two daughters; some of them were born in Topsfield and some in Unity.
m Anna Batchelder in 1762 in Topsfield

- Henry Perkins (bapt 23 Aug 1767-) m Mehitable Ladd

- Eli Perkins (31 Jul 1781-) m Judith Organ
He had 400 acres of land; he bought a mill privilege in North Charlestown on Little Sugar River where he built a grist mill and where afterwards settled his fourth south Elisha. He also purchased water-power in Middlesex VT where he erected a saw mill and grist mill and his sons Henry and Jabesh lived there for twenty years or more.
He was a man of peculiar prejudices. He would never own a horse, but although quite corpulent, would keep and always ride a mule as a carriage in those days was never known or thought of. He was fond of wild game and kept himself well armed. He was Selectman for several years. He was a Republican of the Jefferson school and had no sympathy with the Federal party. In religious matters he was rather skeptical.
