Judith Gater was baptised on 19 Mar 1588/9 in Hillmorton, Warwickshire. [Ref] She married John Perkins on 8 Oct 1608 in Hillmorton. [Ref]

An Elizabeth Gater, who must have been Judith's relative, lived in Ipswich and was the subject of a 28 Apr 1669 court case. Elizabeth Gater deposed that while she was at [Judith's son-in-law] Henry Bennett's house, Elizabeth Lynkhorne came in and said that John Ring would put Elizabeth Gater in jail before Saturday night. She carried Elizabeth Lynkhorne out of the house and shut the door. Elizabeth Lynkhorne testified that she had gone to "her dame Bennet's [Judith's daughter Lydia Perkins's] house" and Elizabeth Gater threw her down on the stones, kicked her and knelt on her. After this, she went back inside and asked Goody Bennett and Benjamin Morgan to witness that Elizabeth Gater had beaten her although she had never struck Elizabeth Gater. Following the incident, Elizabeth Lynkhorne went to get a warrant and, while she was gone, John Ring showed up and said that Elizabeth Lynkhorne had been lying. Lydia Bennett, aged 36, also deposed and Benjamin Morgan testified that Elizabeth Gater had said that she would be the death of Elizabeth Lynkhorne. The court ordered Elizabeth Gater to go to jail for a week, but then changed the sentence to a fine, which was paid by Henry Bennett. [Ref]

John Perkins -- Emigrated to America with his wife Judith (Gator) and their family, sailing from Bristol, England, on 1 December 1630 on the ship Lyon. They arrived at Nantasket, Massachusetts, on 5 February 1630/31, after surviving a stormy journey that resulted in the loss of one seaman. The supplies brought by the ship helped save the colony from famine. In 1633 he joined the group led by John Winthrop, the younger, and moved north along the coast, where they founded the new town at Agawam, which later became Ipswich, Massachusetts.
