The earliest mention of Jacob in America was in his father's will in 1654. After the death of his father and mother, he came into possession of the homestead. This house was located in the extreme Eastern part of Ipswich, very near the riverside and also near to Manning and was occupied until August 7, 1668 when it was destroyed through carelessness of a servant girl. She was imprisoned for it. An account of the examination of her(Mehitable Brabrook) is recorded in FAMILY OF JOHN PERKINS BY George A. Perkins written in 1884. Jacob's new house was struck by lightning on a Sunday in 1671 while many people were gathered there to repeat the sermon.
