from SAVAGE:

JACOB, Ipswich, s. of the first Jacob of the same, m. 15 Oct. 1684, Elizabeth d. of John Sparks of the same,had Jacob, b. 15 Feb. 1686; John; Elizabeth 18 Mar. 1691; and perhaps ano. ch. when she d. 10 Apr. 1692. Great uncertainty occurs in the subdivis. of both these Ispwich families, as the names are too oft. repeat.

from PERKINS OF IPSWICH:

His father, Jacob, gave him a deed of land 7 Mar 1687. Thomas Lovell was a witness to his signature.

His name appears frequently upon the deeds as buying and selling land. He was a weaver and farmer, and, with his brother Matthew, carried on his father's farm when he became incapable of managing it. They administered upon the estate at his death, 1699-1700. Thomas Boreman and Nathaniel Browne were their bondsmen.


540. Jacob Perkins, born August 03, 1662 in Ipswich, Ma; died November 12, 1705 in Ipswich, Ma. He was the son of 1080. Jacob Perkins and 1081. Elizabeth Whipple. He married 541. Elizabeth Sparks December 25, 1684 in Ipswich, Ma. 

541. Elizabeth Sparks, died April 10, 1692 in Ipswich, Ma. She was the daughter of 1082. John Sparks and 1083. Mary Sinnett.
Children of Jacob Perkins and Elizabeth Sparks are:

 270 i.   Jacob Perkins, born February 15, 1685/86 in Ipswich, Ma; died Bef. October 15, 1772 in Wells, Maine; married (1) Lydia Stover; married (2) Anna Littlefield October 12, 1717 in Hampton Falls, NH. 
  ii.   John Perkins, born September 02, 1687; died Unknown. 
  iii.   Elizabeth Perkins, born March 18, 1690/91; died Unknown. 


Was his mother Elizabeth Whipple or Elizabeth Lovell?

The Lovell hypothesis depends on two things 1) Land Transfer 2) An “Elizabeth Perkins” is named in Thomas Lovell’s will. Only the second would be strong evidence. But think about that. Thomas Lovell of Ipswich, MA in his will proved 2 Jan 1709/10 names wife Elizabeth and daughter Elizabeth Perkins. The Elizabeth Perkins named in Thomas Lovell's will could *not* possibly be the one that married Jacob Perkins because that Elizabeth Perkins died in 1685. That was almost a quarter of a century before Thomas Lovell’s will was proved. In my mind that proves that Elizabeth who died in 1685 was not the daughter of Thomas Lovell. Could they have been related in some way? certainly. Notice also that she had a son Mathew who was possibly named after her father Matthew Whipple. She had no son Thomas.
