Obadiah Perry, son of William and Anna Perry of Watertown, married Aug. 21, 1667, Esther Hassel, born Cambridge, Dec. 6, 1648, daughter of Richard Hassell. See Hassell family.

They lived a few years in Watertown and was one of the first families of Dunstable. On account of the expusure during King Philip's War, he removed to Concord and soon after to Billerica.

It was recorded in Billerica: "Feb 10, 1675/76 (read 1676), Obadiah Perry, belonging to Dunstable towne, now resident at Concord, but being informed to remove from thence and not account it safe at ye present to remove to his owne at Dunstable, desiring at present to hire a house at Billerica, the selectmen, considering his condition, do grant him liberty to hire in this towne."

He returned to Dunstable before 1680, and was there killed by the Indians, Sept. 28, 1691. "Obadiah Perry and Christopher Temple dyed by the hand of our Indian enemies, September, the 28th day in the morning."

His widow, Esther, married second, Aug. 30, 1693, Martin Townsend of Watertown. He died 1698.
