• Israel Perley was the son of Thomas Perley and Eunice Putnam.¹
• Israel Perley was born on 2 July 1738 or June 1738. The house was still standing in 1906, a few rods from the residence of the late James P. Cleaveland, which occupies its original site. In 1761, when Israel was twenty-three years old, "the Massachusetts government," wrote Moses H. Perley, Esq., "sent an exploring expedition to the St. John river in New Brunswick. The party consisted of twelve men and Mr. Perley was the leader. They proceeded to Machias by water; then shouldering their knapsacks, they journeyed through the woods and reached the head waters of the Oromocto river, which they descended to the St. John. From the mouth of the river they proceeded three days in a canoe. It was difficult to land anywhere, the river banks were so thickly grown with small wood. They were obliged to creep up the bank upon their hands and knees. Reaching the plain above they pitched their tent for the night. Making a survey the next morning, they concluded to settle there. Upon their return home a colony of Essex County people was formed to establish a settlement upon the St. John. Among them were Israel, his brother Oliver and his cousin Asa Perley. In 1786 he had a grant of 1000 acres on the Gaspereaux river, and in 1792, three hundred acres in the northwest corner of Maugerville, lot No. 90, St. John river.²
  

  SITE OF ISRAEL PERLEY'S HOME.
• Israel Perley married Elizabeth Mooers in Maugerville, New Brunswick, Canada, and lived.²
• Israel Perley died in Maugerville, New Brunswick. His will, made 8 Jun 1799, was proved 20 Feb 1813. His brother Oliver was executor. He was known as 'Israel, the surveyor.'
  
  "The old homestead where Israel located as one of the first settlers of New Brunswick, and where the first or second British child was born in the province, is now owned by John O. Court, Esq., M. P. P. New buildings have been erected, but there remains an old elm. The walking stick used by the old gentleman is said to have been planted and to have matured into a magnificent willow, which succumbed a few years prior to 1879. It is a beautiful place, on the bank of the St. John, with a good deal of shrubbery."³

• Jacob Perley was born circa 1670 in Rowley, Essex County, Massachusetts.²
• He was the son of Thomas Perley and Lydia Peabody.¹
• In 1684, Jacob Perley moved to Boxford, Essex County, Massachusetts with his father's family, wherein he remained till 1696, or perchance a while longer. He owned the estate on the north side of Baldpate pond in Boxford, in after years owned and occupied by Mr. Augustus M. Perley. He built a dwelling a few rods north of the present [as of 1906] barn, and lived there. The house was taken down about 1817, and a new residence was built. A peculiarity of the old house was the construction of its chimney upon the outside, with an oven opening outward, from which on baking-days, or rather the nights following, it is said, the contents were sometimes purloined, so that occasionally the family must attend the church without the usual inspiration of a baked-bean and suet-pudding breakfast.³
• Jacob Perley married Lydia Peabody on 6 December 1696.²
• He joined the church when his first wife died.⁴
• Jacob Perley married Lydia Peabody on 9 May 1709.²
• In 1730, Jacob Perley moved to Bradford, Essex County, Massachusetts, where he built a house. Meanwhile he retained an interest in his old residence in Boxford. He also owned an extensive tract of land west of Baldpate pond, and an interest in the Hazeltine meadows in the northern part of the town. A road was laid, 25 Nov 1702, from his house by Thomas Hazen's house, etc. In 1710 he sold five acres of land to the town for the minister's use. The town 14 Mar 1710, passed the following vote: "The Town have voted and given liberty to Ensien Thomas hazen, Jacob perley and david wood to seat up a Saw mill upon the parsioneg fearm, whear they shall see meet and to have a Convenient yard Rouem with a way to the mill and to have all the towens wright and Interest in s^d Convenient sies for thorty years after this tiem without enny lawful molestation from the towen the s^d hazzen Pearly and david wood alowing for the damieg that may bee don by Reason of s^d Saw mill as Rasionel men shal Judg." After a few years the mill came into the possession of Dr. Wood, one of the proprietors. It was located on the "old Dresser road," in the East Parish, on the site of the mill whose ruins remained observable near the residence of the late John O. Batchelder's family.
  
  He had a long and varied experience in town affairs; was selectman in 1708, 1712, 1729 and 1732; a constable in 1705; a surveyor of highways in 1700; a juror in 1703 and 1711; a moderator of town meetings in 1729 and 1731; served on various committees and was town treasurer from 1713 to 1720, and in 1731 and 1732. He commenced his official military career as sergeant in 1705, was promoted to cornet in 1717, and to lieutenant in 1724, wherein he served till his feeble health forbade further duty. With his cousin Jeremiah, he served his people faithfully, efficiently and bravely in the famous expeditions of Capt. Lovewell against the Indians.⁴
  

  This was the style of Mr. Perley's autograph in 1716.
• He and Mehitable Safford published their marriage intention on 24 June 1733.²
• Jacob Perley died in April 1751 in Bradford, Essex County, Massachusetts. His will is dated 18 Feb 1750-1, and says he was in health. The probate of his will was taken 29 Apr 1751, which argues a short sickness, if indeed he had any. In it he is called housewright, and he bequeathed to his wife Mehitable "all the household goods shee Brought and whatever else shee brought with her Into my estate at our marriage"; also the use of half his house in Bradford, or "if she chouse Instead of it, she shall have all my Interest in the house I formerly Dwelt in at Boxford." He also devised land in Boxford to his sons. Daniel Black, Paul Pritchard and Solomon Wood witnessed his will and were all present when it was proved. The probate value of his estate was £654 7s. 3d. The inventory valued "Half ye old house & half ye barn in Boxford £6 13s. 4d."; "the house and six acres of land in Bradford £133 6s. 8d.," and "about six acres of pasture land in Bradford £20." His son Francis was his executor.⁵

The name of it now is Wilton, Franklin County, Maine. Since Moses and Aaron seem not to have been of the family, they were probably "put out," upon the death of their mother.²
