Notes:

Allen Perley, the emigrant ancestor of the Perley family in America, first came to New England in the fleet of Gov. Winthrop, 1629, and settled on land called "Button End" that is now within the town of Woburn, near a tract of land which has been called "Parley Meadow" for more than two centuries and a half (note: circa 1907). After a short stay, he returned to England, remaining there until April 1635, when he again set sail for America on board the ship "Planter" at which time his age is give on the passenger list as 27 years. He had a certificate from the minister of St. Albans, Hertfordshire, which indicates that St. Albans must have been his home, though researches in the various records in England, find no mention of his thus far. On his arrival he settled in Topsfield, where he lived for seventeen years, and then moved to Ipswich, where he spent the rest of his life. His landed estates were extensive, he owned land in Essex, Rowley, Boxford, and a large tract in Ipswich, at Heartbreak Hill. He and his wife were both Puritans, and were received into the church at Ipswich, 12 Aug 1674.
