• Moses Perley was born on 5 June 1779 in the part of Rowley now called Millwood, Essex County, Massachusetts.²
• He was the son of John Perley and Lydia Perley.¹
• His son writes: "My father remained at home till his majority, when he hired out as a farm laborer with a neighbor. After a few years, his brothers having homes of their own, and his father being alone, he returned and assisted in carrying on the farm. At the age of forty he married, but remained with his father till the latter's death, when the farm was divided among the heirs. My father then bought the farm where I now live and what we are pleased to call the 'old homestead.' It is situated in the northeastern part of Rowley near the Newbury line. My mother had lived here but a few years when she died. Three years after her death, my father married again, and thus the remainder of his life was greatly embittered for nearly twenty-five years. The last eight years of his life were spent in Newbury. My father was a very snug, shrewd, calculating man, as are the Perleys generally with but few exceptions. By his frugality and trading in cattle he succeeded in accumulating considerable property, which was considerably diminished at the time of his death by his second wife's prodigality. He was a man of temperate habits, as were also his brothers, and are the Perleys in general. I think I never heard him utter a profane word. He always showed his respect for religion, and was charitable toward those who differed with him in religious belief. It is said he walked from some point in Maine to Rowley, in one day, a distance of eighty miles."³
