Abraham and Isaac appear to have settled in Hampton together since the town assigned adjoining town lots to them, each containing 5 acres. Isaac's house was on or nearly on the site of the Baptist parsonage, and Abraham's house between that and the corner westward from there, which belonged to William English.

Ship carpenter, farmer, wealthy landowner.
Among the first settlers of Hampton (now Seabrook), New Hampshire
Isaac died leaving no will. Estate was administered 7/17/1699.

In 1925 a new stone was placed on his grave to commemorate him.

From General Dictionary of Maine and New Hampshire by Sybil Noyers, Charles Thorton Libby and Walter Goodwin Davis. 1928 -- 1939

In 1648 "John Case, for himself and Isaac Perkins, agreed with the selectmen, carefully to keep one of the herds, or one half of the cows in the town, from the 18th of April until a fortnight after Michaelmas, or near the middle of October. The keepers were to go in the morning to the fall-gate near Robert Tuck's, about half an hour after sunrise, to take charge of the cows, on all days except the Sabbath. For the performance of this service the selectmen agreed that they should receive 15 pounds, 10 shillings. In payment they were also to have one pound of butter for each in the herd, at 6 pence per pound. One half of the remainder was to be paid in wheat, to be delivered next September, at 10 shillings 6 pence per bushel; and the rest the following February in Indian corn at 3 shillings 6 pences per bushel."

Location and Description of the Old Meeting House from Hampton, New Hampshire
(Notes of Mary Ruth Perkins):

In the days that Hampton was settled, the settlers came by boat from Ipswich. They followed the winding Hampton River through the marshes until they came to a clear spot to land. This place is now called "The Landing". From there they made their way inland through the pine forest about a half mile where they settled. The first things the settlers did was build a small log church. The church was called the "Meetinbg House". Then they built their houses around the church. Today the area is called the "Meeting House Green".

The Meeting House Green is now landscaped and studded with trees and outlined with great boulders. Those at the corners of the enclosure are marked with the names of the towns, originally part of Hampton, but one by one separating from it to independent existence. The slightly smaller boulders all have small markers inserted, each with the name of one of the original settling families, and the date when known to be in Hampton. Thus the Perkins Boulder, which is next to the town boulder at the corner towards the Landing, has the date of 1640. Since it is not known exactly when Abraham and Isaac arrived but they are counted as among the first settlers. It is interesting to anyone who knows that the majority of the names so honored are still found among the active inhabitants of the town, as the descendents of the original settlers many of them stayed right there, spreading out as the town grew.

The inscription on the bronze plate set into the great boulder at the center of the Meeting House Green, Hampton, New Hampshire, Reads:
      " A LITTLE BAND OF PIONEERS UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF REV. STEPHEN BACHILER OF SOUTHHAMPTON, ENGLAND,
      SEEKING A LARGER LIBERTY IN OCTOBER 1638 SETTLED IN THE WILDERNESS
      NEAR THIS SPONT TO PLANT A FREE CHURCH IN A FREE TOWN.
      THEY WERE JOPINED IN 1639 BY OTHERS AND IN THAT YEAR THE TOWN WAS INCORPORATED.
      TO DO HONOR TO THE FOUNDERS AND FATHERS OF HAMPTON,
      TO EXALT THE IDEALS FOR WHICH THEY STROVE,
      AND AS AN INSPRIATION TO POSTERITY THIS MEMORIAL IS DEDICATED OCTOBER 14, 1925."

Directions to Isaac Perkins's Original Grant:

      "The original log meeting house stood inside the corner about where the Perkins monument stands. The Landing Road continues on skirting the marsh, past the landing, where the headquarters of the Hampton Boating Club is now. Turning left over the rise are a dozen or more houses, past gravel pits and sloping down to meet Winnicunnet Rd again at a sharp turn at "Elmwood" where Hampton's great Elm (what remains of it) still stands majestically.

      The Hampton Historical Society has its headquarters in the white house on the left edge of the green offf Park Ave. A replica of the irginal log meeting house stood in the spacious grounds of this place, but it became unsafe and was taken down. One of the original school houses of Hampton stand on this spot now.

      As you proceed along Park Ave, you come to a field which was the second burial ground. The wrought iron gate has a eagle perched on it, craning its head down.
      If you proceed on Park Ave. to Winnicunnet Road and make a left towards the town, you come to Pine Grove Cemetery at the left. Going beyond the Cemetery you come to the Congregational Church with its parish house, and not far beyond on the right hand side of the road, the Baptist Church. The parsonage is next beyond. This is about the site of Isacc's grant of land from the town, Abraham's being beyond his, towards Rte 1. "

In June 1652, Isaac Perkins purchased of Rev. Timothy Dalton, for 50 pounds, a farm lying next to the Salisbury Line, in what is now Seabrook, and he moved there soon after. In Janaury, 1680, he deeded this property to his son Ebenezer Perkins for the support of self and his wife Susanna. saac died in Hampton, November 13, 1680.

No will or settlement of the estate for Isaac have been found. Except for Caleb Perkins, none of the other descendents remained in the Hampton area.

Susanna with the consent of her son Ebenezer sold the homestead in Hampton in 1693, and she with Ebenezer, her daughter Rebecca and her husband John Hussey and her young son Joseph migrated to Delaware.

"N.Eng. Hist. & Gen. Register, Vol XLVII, pg. 483 notes:

"John Hussey, late of Hampton, NH, near Piscatoway in New England, by deed of 7/1/1695, purchased 340 acres of land near New Castle, Delaware, and there he died in 1707. His mother-in-law probably accompanied him to the Delaware, as we find that the administration on the estate of Susanna Perkins was granted to John Hussey, principal creditor."

Whether Susannah is the sister of Mary Wise and Humphrey Wise is disputed.
From the Geneological Dictionary of Maine and New Hampshire, pg. 541:

(Concerning Abraham Perkins) "His wife was Mary, Lists 393a, 394. That she and Susanna, wife of (9), were duaghters of Humphrey Wyeth, as often claimed, tho not true of Susanna, may have been true of Mary who had two sons Humphrey and knew about Em Wyeth's affairs, perhaps only as Ben Wyeth was her husband's apprentice."
A Susannah Wyeth was married to John Bursley, also an original settler of Hampton. It is presumed by the Gen. dictionary of M & NH that this was Humphrey's daughter. This Susannah only had one duaghter, Sarah.
