Amos Perley1

b. possibly (my best guess) 1779, d. 1837
  • Amos Perley was born possibly (my best guess) 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 31 March 1810, and had no children, though both were very fond of them. Relinquishing teaching, they retired to a farm in Dracut, Middlesex County, Massachusetts.1
  • As of 1816, Amos Perley and Hannah Carleton of Bradford lived at Bradford, Essex County, 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, Middlesex County, 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 Perley1

b. 26 April 1835
  • Amos Pettingill Perley was born on 26 April 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

  • She was the daughter of Eliphalet Perley and Anna Porter.1

She had her reason to the last, and appeared to be fully resigned to death. She left us with consolation under a hope she has made a happy change. . . . Love and respects to sister Phebe and her children."2
