John married Margaret PERRINE in c1743. Margaret (daughter of Peter PERRINE) was born in 1728 in Staten Island, Richmond Co., New York; died on 30 Apr 1805 in Staten Island, Richmond Co., New York; was buried in Woodrow Methodist Churchyard. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Margaret is the daughter of Mary & Peter Perrine (1701-1756).

. Margaret Perine Poillon is left by her husband John Poilon, £500 pounds to be put at interest for her.

. The Billiou-Stillwell-Perine House, located on NYC highest point at 1476 Richmond Road, Dongan Hills, on Staten Island, NY. is a Dutch Colonial structure and is one of the oldest buildings still standing on Staten Island. It is a small whitewashed undressed fieldstone building with 2 windows and a narrow door and with a steeply pitched roof. But the building's most distinctive feature was the huge fireplace, with neither jambs nor sides, which still stands. The oldest section of the Richmond Road structure is believed to have been built in 1662. Remarkably, the house stands as the only remaining building on Staten Island built under Dutch rule. In 1760, the Perrine family added a chamber or bedroom in the rear and in 1790, the Perines build a kitchen onto the original Billiou portion of the home; 1830, the Perines build another kitchen onto the Stillwell portion of the home.

The 2 oldest sections of the home overlap rather oddly. It is believed that rather than demolish a large, old tree near the corner of the older home, the family decided to build the newer portion to one side of the original building.
Originally built by Pierre Billiou, a Huguenot, who arrived at New Amsterdam fleeing religious persecution in Europe in 1661 and founder of Oude Dorpe (Old Town) in the same year, subsequently received a land grant on Staten Island, erecting the original stone section about 1665. His daughter Martha (1652-1736) inherited the property and resided there with her husband, Thomas Stillwell (1651-1705), and later with her second husband, Rev. David de Bonrepos (1654-1734). She married Rev. de Bonrepos in 1711. In 1679, Thomas Stillwell, a well-to-do landowner, enlarged the house. His and Martha's descendants, the Brittons, owned it until the mid-18th century.
It was then acquired by Edward Perine in 1758. The Perine family owned it until 1913. It has a shingled, sloping roof, and a Dutch jambless fireplace, which is very high and has a large stone hearth. A secret chamber opens into a room that features a ceiling with exceptionally large beams. 2012.
