ISRAEL6 PERKINS, son of (147) Edward5 [(60) Peter4, (8) Peter3, (2) John2, (1) Edward1], was born December 30, 1767; married Mittie, daughter of Isaac Judd of Naugatuck, Conn. He lived in Bethany, Conn., and died September 8, 1846.

He designed to pursue professional life, and had expected to commence a course of study the year (1787) his father died. Being left by this event at the head of the family, he was compelled to forego this purpose and remain at home on the farm.

He lived in the house that his father built on the turnpike from Litchfield, near the schoolhouse. From 1793 to 1795 he lived at Hamden Plain.

When he was 28 he became quite deaf and continued so through life. He was well known in that part of the country as selectman of the town, settler of estates, guardian of children, etc., and was so skilled in the law that he was familiarly called "the old lawyer." The monument erected to his memory in the Carrington burying-ground, Bethany, bears the following inscription:

ISRAEL PERKINS Died September 8, 1846, Aged 79.
An Esteemed Citizen. A Good Man.
