Mark Perkins m. aft. 4 Jun 1721 Dorothy Whipple who d. May 1782. [Some sources, such as Source:Burrage, Henry Sweetser. Genealogical and Family History of the State of Maine, p. 2:686, cite 1 May 1682 as the date of her marriage to Solomon Packard, but this is contradicted by Bridgewater VRs, p. 2:283, which places that marriage in 1760. So if the 1782 date has any relevance to Dorothy, it is probably her death date, though its basis is not explained.]
Packard, Dorothy, wid. Solomon, formerly w. Mark Perkins, [died] May 1, 1782, in 80th y. GR1. [Note: It appears the gravestone says in 86th year, not 80th year, despite what memorial page says, which may have been influenced by this record. GR1=Main Street Cemetery.]
Dorothy Whipple [#168], d/o Matthew Whipple [$64] and Dorcas Paine, b. Ipswich about 1679 [sic, obvious typo for 1697], d. North Bridgewater 1782 age 85, m. (int.) Ipswich 4 Jun 1721 Mark Perkins. [Note: regarding Dorothy's age at death, the will of her father names Dorothy before Jemima, who d. 1737 age 38, so apparently Dorothy was born before 1699.]
