James Perrigo Junior of Wrentham, and Franklin, Massachusetts.

James Perrigo Jr. was born in Wrentham on June 2, 1771, and died there on June 6, 1834, at 63. His parents were James Perrigo (1731-1808) and Elisabeth Perrigo (1738-1798). James is a second-generation Clockmaker, and his clocks are sometimes confused with those made by his Father, James Perrigo Sr. (1737 - 1808 ). James Sr owned a large farm and was most likely the Maker of clocks with wooden geared movements. Jr's clocks resemble the style of the latter Massachusetts Makers, such as the Willards and their competitors. James Jr also had a Brother, Jared (1796-1808), who is also listed as a clockmaker and a physician. In January of 1800, James Jr advertised from Franklin that he had hired a journeyman watchmaker and now offered watch repairing at that location. James Jr. was a clockmaker, a machinist, and a Freemason. It is recorded that his house and farm, passed down from his father, was located at 234 Main Street and demolished around 2015. 

Presently, a James Perrigo tall clock is in the collection at the Dedham Historical Society in Dedham, Massachusetts.
