Biography

(V) Benjamin (2), third son and fifth child of Joseph and Elizabeth (Dow) Perkins, was born October 17, 1746, in Hampton Falls, and settled in Wakefield, this state, where he was probably a farmer. No record of his marriage appears in New Hampshire, but the record of his children's births appearing in Wakefield, show her name to be Abigail. Their children were: Benjamin, John, William, David, Josiah, Joseph, Caleb, Bradbury and Ruth.

looking for documentation to prove her last name as either "Page" or "Howard".

Many on-line resources say "Page" but no original sources yet for either surname...

the 1810 census shows Benjamin Perkins living in Wakefield NH - very close to Josiah Page (brother of Abigail Page)
