On 5 May 1796, a proposed new road from James Raymond's to Dudley Perley's was negatived. A road was early laid out from "Mr. Dudley Perley's by Moses Hale's, through the village to Mr. Benjamin Kidder's, 4 miles 117 rods." At a town meeting, just prior to the Revolution, obeying the precept of a public letter from Boston, urging an earnest consideration of "the distressing and dangerous circumstances of our public affairs," Mr. Perley was made one of a committee of five, "to prepare a draft to lay before the town of such measures as may be thought proper for the town to come into, in order to defend.their rights and liberties." The same committee was made a committee of correspondence. He was a member of the Winchendon company of Minute Men. He attained to lieutenant in the militia, and ever after wore the title. He was a selectman in 1772.⁵

• Ebenezer Perley was baptized on 25 July 1773 in Ipswich, Essex County, Massachusetts. His father died in 1778, and his stepfather, Lt. Samuel Bacon of Bradford, was appointed his guardian 5 Dec 1791. When of Salisbury 19 July 1798, he discharged his guardian, and acknowledged the receipt of $200 as per his guardian's account. He married and resided in Salisbury. He bought 12 Nov 1798, for £570, one-quarter acre of land "with the house" upon it, on Webster's Point, of Jacob Currier of Salisbury, calker, " extending three rods on both sides of the highway," bounded by the river channel southerly, by Daniel East- man and Meltiah Merrill westerly, by Joseph Wells northerly, by John Stevens easterly, the highway (?) "holding the width of three rods from one end to the other." He owned a farm in that town, located back of S. Smith's farm, north of the Rocky-Hill Church, marked E. Dow on D. G. Beer & Co.'s County Atlas 1872. Hannah, his wife, 30 Dec 1817, represented to Probate Court that her husband, Ebenezer Perley of Salisbury, was absent at sea and was not expected soon to return, that the property in Salisbury of which the children were joint owners in their own right, half an old house, thirty acres of woodland, and twelve of pasturage, and that the children, Sally, nineteen ; Nathaniel, sixteen; John Hodge, fourteen; Louisa, twelve; James, ten; Ebenezer George, eight; and Benjamin Dutch, six, needed "immediate and constant care and attention" and asked a guardian of the children to take care of their real estate. John Balch of Newbury, merchant, was appointed. A house on Ring's Island is mentioned.²
• He was the son of Nathaniel Perley and Sarah Dutch of Ipswich Village.¹
• "Lowle" in the Georgetown Advocate printed the following paper, which in this connection is very interesting:—
  
  "The first notice of Ebenezer Perley in this town by his employment of our mechanics is the nearest that I can fix his advent in Salisbury, and perhaps a list of the vessels built by his order, while a resident here, may be of interest to the editors of the Advocate, if not to some reader. Let me here add that he bought quite a large farm in Salisbury and occupied it while in business here. The old farm is still known as the Perley farm, although long ago deserted by its distinguished proprietor. His first vessel was the schooner Hope, of 29 tons, built at Newbury in 1786 in company with S. Clark of Salisbury. In 1799 he had built in Amesbury the schooner Regulator, of 94 tons. In 1800 the ship Jason, of 151 tons, built at Salisbury and owned by Perley and Daniel Webster of Salisbury. In 1801 the ship Hannah, of 181 tons, built at Salisbury. In 1802 the ship Favorite 134 tons, built at (Pleasant Valley) Amesbury, by David Clough. One of the builder's descendants, Mr. J. S. Clough of Chelsea, Mass., has a fine oil painting of this old ship Favorite under full sail, and gaily decked with colors, represented as taking her departure from some foreign port. This is truly a valuable relic of the old builders, not merely as the work of the foreign artist, but by the careful drawing of all minor parts of hull, spars and rigging, and presents to us clearly the peculiar style in every particular of the ship of-one hundred years ago. [The picture of the ship here shown is from a photograph of the painting, by the kindly favor of Mr. Clough.] In 1803 the ship Aurora, of 235 tons, built at Salisbury. This ship I think was built by the Stevens Brothers, as also were other vessels of his fleet, in their old ship-yard in front of their dwelling house, a part of which is at present occupied by the writer, (who has the honor of being of that family of shipwrights), but only as a builder of dories and skiffs, on such hallowed ground! ! where those old shipwrights produced from the rough white oak of our forests, many a noble ship,—'qwiwqO tempore, O moresqw/iwq' how hath the mighty fallen, from the staunch old ship to the frail skiff,—'Pity 'tis, 'tis true.' Well, we will use the skiff occasionally to paddle with pleasure alongside of that old drifter of our fathers, the old wooden ship, whose noble place, with all those ancient associations of its construction's fast being taken up by the riveted plate-iron, pot-like monster of the present, with no charm in history for the New England shipwright.
  
  " The last ship Perley was concerned in here was named the Rising Sun, of 284 tons, built at Salisbury in 1804 and owned by Perley and J. Nelson. How long Perley remained in Salisbury I cannot say, but certainly while here, this record of a few years proves him to have been an active and enterprising man, whose memory we should ever respect. I learned that he sold out here after a few years and removed with his family to Baltimore, Md., and that comprises all that I can give of the interesting history of Ebenezer Perley, the bright meteor that once flashed across our pathway and so soon disappeared."
  
  "Boston, Jan. 31. Loss of ship Favorite. The ship Favorite, Nathaniel M. Perley, master, sailed from thence to Lisbon:—after standing off, with a light breeze, from 11 A. M. until 8 P. M., the wind began to haul to N. E. and coming on to snow, the weather very thick, Capt. P. thought best to heave about and stand in, and endeavor to make a harbor—he ran in about a mile above the light and came to, with both anchors ahead and rode until about 5 o'clock on Monday morning, it then blowing very hard from E. N. E. The ship parted both her cables, and in ten minutes struck on Rocky Point and is bilged; it is expected a large part of the cargo will be saved."³

• In 1804, Sept. 10, Mr. Perley was on a committee to establish an academy for the two towns, Amesbury and Salisbury. The academy was instituted at Bartlett's Corner. He became a sea captain and sailed on foreign voyages. He probably began his sea life out of Newburyport. "Arrived at Newburyport forty-nine days from Hamburg, 26 Aug 1799, schooner Regulator, Perley, master." Perley was in Hamburg the July before. The Salem Gazette 13 Jan 1804, reported : "The Favorite, Perley, master, arrived at Norfolk, from Newburyport."²
