Elizabeth Perkins, daughter of John Perkins and Judith Gater,[1] was baptized on/about 25 Mar 1611 in Hillmorton, Warwickshire, England[2][3] at Saint John the Baptist Church.[4]

Elizabeth Perkins of Hillmorton, Warwickshire is listed as a passenger of the "Lyon", along with: Mr. John Perkins and Mrs. Judith Perkins, John Perkins Jr., Mary Perkins, Thomas Perkins and Jacob Perkins. The "Lyon", William Pierce, Master, departed from Bristol, England December 1, 1630 with 'about twenty passengers and two hundred tons of goods.' This was the same ship that brought the Rev. Roger and Mrs. Mary Williams to America, along with the John Throckmorton and Edmond Once families and William Parke.[5] The passage was stormy and lasted 67 days. They arrived at Nantasket on February 5, 1631 and on the 6th anchored in Boston.[6][7] The family settled first at Boston and removed to Ipswich in 1633.[2]

Elizabeth married William Sargent[1][3][8] by about 1636[2] or about 1640,[7] possibly in Salisbury, Massachusetts.[9] William and Elizabeth had two sons and three daughters.[10], as follows:[11]

1. Mary , b.c. 1636. m.Philip Watson-Challis;
2. Sarah, b.c. 1641, d. 14 Sep 1641;
3. Thomas, b.11 Jun 1643, m.Rachel Barnes;
4. William, b. 2 Jan 1645/6, m. Mary Colby;
5. Elizabeth, b.22 Nov 1648, m. Samuel Colby;
6. Lydia (probably), b.c. 1650, d. "bet. 1660 and 1662";
7. Sarah, b. 29 Feb 1651/2, m. Orlando Bagley.

They moved to Newbury, Hampton, Salisbury and finally to Amesbury, Massachusetts, where Elizabeth died.[3]

Elizabeth's date of death is unknown, but her husband remarried on 18 Sep 1670 to the widow Joanna (Pindor) Rowell.[3][7]

She may have died on 12 Feb 1670 in Salisbury, Essex County, Massachusetts.[citation needed]
