 Bio:   Morrison, p 48. Magee, married to Margaret Elliot, was either Perkins brother in law according to Morrison and Phillips, or Perkin's wife Sarah Elliot's uncle. In the first scenario, Margaret would be Sarah Eliot, Perkin's wife (married 1788) sister, or in the second, Simon Elliot's (Sarah's father) sister. Hewes, quoting Perkins himself as a source, says Sarah was the only daughter of Simon and Sarah (Wilson) Elliot. [Morrison, p. 48]; [Phillips, Salem and the Indies, p. 54]; Thomas H.
