After father's death, moved to Delaware with mother Susan, brother Joseph and sister Rebecca. Purchased a family in Brandywine 100

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

"Ebenezar and Joseph Perkins, both late of New England, husbandmen, were purchasers of land in Brandywine 100, New Castle County, on Delaware, by deeds dated 10/14/1693. The will of Ebenezar Perkins, of the county of New Castle, husbandman, is dated 7/20/1703, and proven 9/17/1703. To his youngest sons, Isaac and Ebenezar, he gave all his real estate; to the eldest son Daniel 30 pounds stirling, to daughter Abigail and Elizabeth, 15 pounds stirling each, to be paid by Isaac and Ebenezar after the sons became of age; sons Jonathan and David to be bound apprentices to some trade. There is some confusion whether his wife's name was Mercy, Marcy or Mary, as may also be noticed in the Hampton records. The sons Isaac and Ebenezar sold the land inherited from their father to Thomas Cartmell, in 1725."

Emily Ritchie Perkins, "The Perkins Family, A Sketch of Inter-colonial Migration," PA Geneological Magazine, Vol VII, pp. 172:

Purchased a portion of the "bout" tract of land on the Delaware River, above Vertrecht Hook, in Brandywine 100, New Castle Co., DE where he afterward resided. His will of 7/20/1703, probated 9/16/1703, named his wife Mary and 7 children.

Both Joseph and Ebenezer appear on the 1696-97 tax lists for Brandywine 100.

From Scharf's History of DE:

"BRANDYWINE HUNDRED is the name applied to the northeastern section of New Castle County, and embraces all that territory comprised south of the State line and on the waters of the Delaware and Brandywine, excepting what has been joined to the city of Wilmington, in the southeastern part of these natural bounds. The surface partakes of the characteristics of Southern Pennsylvania and is, in general, well undulated. Outcroppings of rock appear in many localities, preventing a fertility of soil, while other sections have fine and highly improved farms, whose proximity to the markets have made them valuable property. Along the streams, whose descent to the level of the Delaware is precipitous in places, are valuable deposits of blue stone and granite, which are being profitably developed. On the hills are groves of natural timber, giving the country a pleasant appearance and no other section in the State excels this in the variety and beauty of its landscape scenery.

The territory embraced within the present bounds of Brandywine Hundred does not appear as a distinct division until the year 1687, when a list of taxables residing on the north side of Brandywine Creek was prepared.*

But at that time the name hundred was not applied to the division, that appellation not being adopted until a much later period. For many years different sections of the hundred were known by the old local names."

These were, beginning at the mouth of Christiana Creek and going northward, Vertrecht Hook Marsh (later Cherry Island Marsh), Vertrecht Hook, the "Bout" or "Bocht," Grubb’s Manor Lands, Naaman’s Creek Lands and west from all of these, Rockland Manor."

Above the Vertrecht Hook tract was a belt of land having a front of one hundred rods along the river and extending back to the Rockland Manor Lands. It was patented May 28, 1669, to Barrent Egge, who disposed of it to other parties about five years later. A portion of it was assigned to Charles Petersen.

The "Bout" or "Boght" was a tract of land lying on the Delaware, above Vertrecht Hook, extending along the river about two miles and running back to the Rockland Manor Lands. It was first occupied by the Swedes without titles to their lands, but under the Dutch they were permitted to remain, and after the English accession warrants were issued and patents granted. One of the first was issued April 16, 1673, for three hundred acres, and was granted to Olle Fransen, Peter Mounsen and Neil Neilsen.

On the 15th of June, 1675, Governor Andros granted a patent to the above and Marcus Lawrensen for the three hundred acres already patented and four hundred acres additional, with a stipulation "that the inhabitants of Verdritege or Vertrecht Hook shall have and enjoy the privileges and freedom of Stony Creek and the mill which they have built on the same.

The mill on Stony Creek (now Quarryville Creek) was owned by a company, and was sold February 10, 1688, by Hans Petersen, Niel Nielsen and Olle Fransen to Peter Boynton, who then owned part of the Bout tract. Boynton was a merchant at New Castle, and July 9, 1684, bought of Olle or Woola Fransen one hundred and thirty-four acres on the lower side of the tract, and bounded on the upper side by Stony Creek. Subsequently he bought more land in the Bout, and on the 14th of October, 1693, he sold to Ebenezer Perkins, "late of New England, husbandman," a portion of this land; and on the same day Joseph Perkins, a brother of Ebenezer and also of New England, bought of the "Bout" lands adjoining of Thomas Noxon. The descendants of the latter still own and occupy part of the same premises."

Deposition of the Will of Ebenezer Perkins, October 16, 1703:

"In abeyance and honour to your summons, on behalf of Marcy Perkins, widow, for my proving the last will and testament of Ebenezer Perkins, her late husband. As as my part, as I can wirte with safe conscience declare. But at present I am under great circumstances and hardships. In so much that I do most humbly beg you and all persons to excuse me from my appearance before you at this juncture of time because my wife is now very forward with child and expects any day to be brought to bed with causes me now to be upon watch to run for help for her. We live in the wooods at least a mile distant amlost from any neighbors. And I have a little boy who requires my attendence, and I am so poor that I am not able to hire anybody, as also danger to myself, for I have been _____ stiff very often troubled with hyprocondriack distemper with hath reigned over me 15 to 16 years, and grief is the main cause thewreof which renders me often ______ of my business. And if I ____ on you now is this my condition, I shall certainly myself, wife and child yet nevertheless, in some measure, to anser your _____ personally. Although I have sufficiently already proved the said will, as far as it belongs to me. And I doubt that the circumstances and foundations of the said will may be required of me I shall (by Gods's power) declare the whole truth thereof, as far as I know personally, as I were again ______ my oath _____administered unto me on the Holy Evangleist by Charles Springer, of her Magestiers Justices of the Peace in this County, which is as followeth, VIZ:

On the seven and twentieth day of July last past there came to me at my schoolhouse on of the sons of Ebenezer Perkins, and said Marcy Perkins, who spoke unto me saying, my master has sent me to tell you, or thee, that my father woulde speake with you, or thee, and have you, or thee, to make haste. Whereupon I went to Ebenezer Perkins his house, and came to his bedside where Ebenezer Perkins waslying in bed. I asked him how he did. He answered me that he was very ill I asked him again where his pain was whereupon Ebenezer took my hand and guided it toward his groin and about his belly, and I felt, then Ebenezer asked me whether it was hard or not. I answered that it was very hard, and then he told me that he could not make water and then said Marcy asked me whether or not I had my little bottle about me wherein I used to carry holy water which I gave to her, and she gave it to her husband and soon after he drunk thereof, he said that it did wound his heart and within a little time after he said that he percieved that some of his water fell from him and soonafter I removed myself from the bedside to the other side of the house by the table next to the window. And after I had there sat while Ebenezer said to me: "Neighbor, I have sent for you, for thee, to write my will." Then I went again to his bedside and asked how he would dispose of his lands. He informed me that he had made a former will, which he destroyed and by that will he had given his lands to his youngest son Ebenezer, but now, said Ebenezer, I will give my lands to my youngest sons Isaac and Ebenezer. He said, also, I will give unto Daniel, Abigail, Elizabeth, my sons and daughters twenty pounds each, and that is my two sons Jonathan and David shall be bound out apprentices to trades by their mother. "
Then I removed to the table again to write what he had declared to me. He said then to me, master, let Daniel have thirty pounds and the two girls fifteen pounds apiece to be paid them when or sometime after his said tow sons Isaac and Ebenezer shall attain to their age of twenty-one years. I paused awhile and then said let it be three years. And he further siad that his wife should be his executriz.
I remeber further that Ebenezer and Marcy Perkins his wife talked with each other, and that he said, Ebenezer said to his wife, and so did she say to her husband that they were afriad that the children would be disobedient to her, their mother, or words to that effect. And he said Marcy further began to siay to her husband Ebenezer, that in case she should marry, Ebenezer took no notice thereof. As ____, but told her, I give the stuff out of hand to thine, as your hands, to do by the children as you please, or thou pleaseth. And afterwards I was writing my minutes to ask Ebenezer that if his two youngest sons should attain to age, what should be done then. But I ______ that he had given his wife so much liberty thought it needless and so did I not move it all to him, and further Ebenezer gave all his land to his wife Marcy during her life and after her death to his youngest sons Isaac and Ebenezer and to their heirs forever. and then said Ebenezer (after all his debts and funeral expenses were paid and discharged) gave all his personal effects, goods and chattels unto his said wife Marcy. And I asked Ebenezer Perkins whence he would appoint to be overseers of his wife. He answered me John Grubb and Nathaniel. then I asked him which Nathaniel. He ansered Nathaniel Cartmell. Then I proceeded to write the draft of his will and read it to Ebenezer Perkins who said to me that it was very well. I then forthwith engrossed the said will, which called for witnesses, Frances Gubb being then there with myself. And I thought according to the law of England that there must be three witnesses to a will, whereupon I proposed to Ebenezer Perkins his brother Joseph Perkins to be the other witness to his said will.
Whereupon Ebenezer Perkins ___________ in writing that his writing that his brother should be sent for. The I _______ Ebenezer Perkins said his will need not to be read to any of the witnesses, he consented that his brother Joseph should be sent for , and soonafter Joseph came. Then Joseph Perkins, Frances Grubb, Marcy Perkins and myself being present when they, or some of them, raised up the said Ebenezer Perkins in his bed. Then I came to Ebenezer Perkins with his will, and I give him a pen and ink in his hand. And he desired me to guide his hand. Then I guided his hand to the paper, or will, and then Ebenezer Perkins made his mark thereto and asked me whether it was enough and that I would not trouble him further to write (seeing as I thought) he would not write his name because his hand was weak. Then Ebenezer Perkins sealed his will and declared it to be his last will and testament, in the presence of Joseph Perkins, Frances Gubb and myself and delivered his will to us and when I received the said will into my hand, I said so as we received it. Thereupon Ebenezer Perkins replied much good it may do you or much good you may do with it. Then Joseph Perkins, Frances Grubb and myself witnessed the said will, and then I sealed it up and more saith not to res."
