Boston Directory 1796 "merchant"
some sources say (Uncle of wife), some brother in Law (Morrison and Phillips). Hewes (1935) says Sarah only daughter of Simon and Sarah Wilson Elliot, Magee Sarah's uncle
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.
