THE PERRIN FAMILY.

Communicated by WILLIAM B. LAPHAM, M.D., of Augusta, Me.

1. JOHN' PERRIN is said to have been at Braintree soon after 1640, and that after a short residence there he removed to Rehoboth. In the records of the latter town the name is variously spelled-" Perren," "“Perrum,' ‚” “Peram,” “ Perem," and "Peren "-which led Savage to suppose that there were two families, viz., John and Abraham Perham, and John and Abraham Perrin, as stated in the Genealogical Dictionary. A careful examination of the town records shows that there was only one family, and that the descendants of John, Sr., the emigrant, now write the name Perrin or Perrine. The ancestor of the New England family of Perham never lived in Rehoboth.

We know but little of John Perrin, Sr. He appears to have been a man of some prominence in town, frequently elected to town office, and serving on the jury. He died Sept. 13, 1674. His wife's name was probably Hannah. His eldest son was born before his removal to Rehoboth, perhaps in Braintree, and perhaps in England. Children:

ABRAHAM, b. March 1, 1647.

3. iii.

iv. MARY, b. Feb. 1649; m. Jacob Ormsbee, Dec. 12, 1670.

2. JOHN PERRIN, Jr. (John'), residence in Rehoboth, appears to have taken the place of his father in aiding in the management of public affairs. He was one of those who made advances of money to the town to aid in its defence during Philip's war. He was buried May 6, 1694. By wife Mary he had the following children:

4. i.

3. ABRAHAM PERRIN (John) was married to Sarah Walker, Dec. 27, 1677. She was buried Aug. 2, 1693. The records say that Abraham

Perrin was buried May 15, 1694; but Memoirs of Plymouth Colony, vol. iv. page 85, says that widow Abraham Perem advanced £14 2s. toward the expenses of Philip's war. The children of Abraham and Sarah Perrin

15. DANIEL PERRIN (David, Daniel, Daniel, John, John1) by wife Esther had :

16. THOMAS PERRIN (David, Daniel, Daniel, John, John) had:

The foregoing records are arranged from copies of the town records furnished by the clerk, and we presume are approximately correct.

On another page of the record we find the marriage of Isaac Perrin with Sarah Eddy, March 31, 1774. We cannot connect him with the family, though he doubtless belongs to it. Children:

There is also the marriage, Dec. 24, 1795, of James Potter with Susannah Perrin.

We also have the marriage of Anna Perrin with Thomas Read, June 16, 1675, which shows that John Perrin, Sr., may have had a daughter Anna who is not recorded with his other children.
