1760 | his
parents
& est 1714 Elizabeth ? |
her parents
& ca 1725 Sarah Walton ca 1710 - 1761
| her parents
of Nansemond Co VA, Chowan County, NC
& Bertie Co NC
This is my working hypothesis - the way I see it as of
this moment!!
Trying to establish these lines
has been a cooperative project with Zane Perry
and others including Rebecca Starr. James Fort
About 1690, John Perry was born in the Upper Parish of Nansemond County, Virginia, and
died in 1760 in Bertie County, North Carolina. He appears to be the grandson
of John Macland
whose estate was settled in 1705.
On page 473 of the Isle of Wight County, Virginia Deed Book 1, it gives the estate information of John
Macland. It names his daughter Alice Bryant,
Grandchildren Nicholas, John, and Elizabeth Perry, grandchildren Needham, William, John, Mary, and Alice Bryant, and wife Elizabeth
Macland.
John Makerland received a
land grant in 1664
John Perry married 1st Elizabeth ?. (She is listed on some 1720s documents with John Perry in Perquimans
County)
After Elizabeth's death he married ca 1725 Sarah
Walton
John Perry Sr bought land with Sarah Bond in 1728 and his son John Perry Jun. sold the same land in 1764 and was listed as
this John Perry Senr's son.
John Perry Sr was elected member of the vestry of [North East
Parish of Chowan] St. Paul's Parish
1732, 1734,
Notice for male NC Perry surname descendants: Please
consider having your DNA tested.
Three samples from family subgroup 03 at Perry FTDNA website
http://www.familytreedna.com/public/perry/default.aspx?section=yresults can
document their ancestry to John Perry b. 1680/90 of Nansemond Co, VA
d. 1760 Bertie Co, NC. A fourth sample from the same
subgroup 03 can prove his ancestry to Currituck Co, NC. He
does not appear to be a descendant of John Perry d. 1760 in Bertie.
It is anticipated that the presently unknown common ancestor of
these two lines lived in 17C Virginia. DNA may help tie together
the several NC lines out of VA, so please consider joining the Perry
surname project. Tests can be ordered at a discount through
either the Perry FTDNA website above, or www.perry-dna.org.
Other companies (Ancestry, etc) also do DNA testing, and your result
can be uploaded to the Perry surname project.

e-mail
from Zane 4 July 2001 - "First, I believe that John Perry was born in the 1680 to 1690 time frame to
have been old enough to be exchanging land with James and Patience Perry in the late 17teens, and to have had John Perry Jr. in 1715. Therefore, I
actually believe that HE WAS THE JOHN PERRY MENTIONED IN JOHN MACLANDS WILL.
I believe that the Nicholas Perry who was mentioned in the 1703 Census in
Nansemond County, Virginia was this John Perry's brother, and that John Perry probably named a son Nicholas after his own brother. I believe, too,
that perhaps the Elizabeth Perry of that same Will may have been the wife of
Robert Draughan, but that remains to be proved too. Therefore, I do not believe that my John Perry Jr. (1715-1785) was the one mentioned in the
Mackland Will. I believe it was his father -- John Perry who married to Elizabeth ____ and then to Sarah
Walton and who died in 1760 in Bertie.
I believe that this is one reason that Needham Bryant is included in his Bertie County deeds (Needham was also mentioned in the Mackland Will) and
why John Perry lived adjacent to the McLendon family (I believe this is a version of the Macland name). So, I think that John Perry (ca. 1690-1760) is
the John Perry of the John Macland Will."
1 Nov 2000 - Zane Perry
writes - I'm excited to tell you all that this past week I made copies of a 1764 deed that gives positive proof back one more generation in our Perry ancestry!
THE 1764 DEED BETWEEN JOHN PERRY AND THOMAS WRIGHT IS PROOF (that) JOHN PERRY (1690-1760)
(is father of) JOHN PERRY (1715-1785). Mr. Steve Watson of Texas, an excellent Perry researcher, pointed out the 1764 Perquimans County deed that proves the relationship between these two John
Perrys. Please
become familiar with the recorded life and times of John Perry, who was born about 1690 in the Upper Parish of Nansemond County, Virginia, and who died in 1760 in Bertie County, North Carolina. This John Perry was the father of the John Perry who was born around 1715 and who died in 1785 in St. Mark's Parish of Craven County, South Carolina. This John Perry was a Planter, and owned 17 slaves at the time of his death in 1760. One of his slaves, named 'Cesar', appears to have become the property of John's son, John Perry (1715-1785). It is believed that John's first wife was named Elizabeth, as she is listed on some 1720s documents with John Perry in Perquimans County. John's 2nd wife was Sarah
Walton, and they married after or about 1725.
e-mail
from Zane Perry 8 Nov 2000 - "It seems that the whole family
and close associates were attending St. Paul's. If John Perry Senr. was an Episcopalian, wouldn't it be odd that his sons Jacob and Phillip would
become Quaker? I think, for right now, that John Perry Senr. may still be the son of another John Perry himself, but feel that he is a brother to Jacob and
Phillip of Perqs. rather than a father to them. I have never seen Jacob nor Phillip co-witnessing or signing in conjunction with John Perry Junr. of
Bertie, but have indeed seen Jacob Perry witnessing for John Perry Senr. in
Chowan.
"We know that John Perry Senr. bought land with Sarah Bond in 1728, and that
his son John Perry Junr. sold the same land in 1764 and was listed as this John Perry Senr.'s son. At the same time in
Bertie, in 1727, a William Perry
was selling land around the Roanoke River, and this William Perry co-signed one document with Richard Bond (Jr.) for John Perry
Senr. in Bertie. I think
that this William Perry may be a son of John Perry Senr., as well as Joseph Perry (who also moved from Chowan to Bertie in the 1730s). If so, then
Joseph and William and John Jr. would be from John Perry Senr.'s first wife,
while Jacob and Benjamin and James would have been from Sarah Walton Perry (John's last wife). I know that the Benjamin and Jacob of
Perqs. Co.
are different men than the ones in Bertie (different wives names), so this again leads me to believe that John Perry
Senr. is a brother of Jacob and
Phillip of Perqs. Co, rather than a father to them." [though we
are still mulling over this I will place Zane's thoughts here for ready ref.
smk]
Possibly Jacob Perry and also, John Perry, Jr.
were older sons who had already received their share of the inheritance
prior to their father's death. The court records say that he left a
will; but it has since been lost. Researcher Zane
Perry wrote in a recent e-mail 8 May 2000:
"John and Sarah Perry's son, John Perry Junr., left Bertie County in 1769 and
went to Sumter County, SC -- which is just downriver from where Benjamin Perry moved by about 20 miles! It seems that John Perry Junr. and Benjamin
and James all went to the same area of South Carolina. I don't know whether you realize it or not, but the Cherokee Indian War of
1760-1761 opened that area up to our NC ancestors, and it is quite possible if not probable that
John Jr. and Benjamin fought in that war. John claimed land along the east side of Wateree River, and finally lived along the Pocataligo River in
present-day Sumter County. Sumter County did not even exist until 1800, with
the area where John lived being called Camden District until 1800. Prior to 1785 it was known as St. Marks
Parish, Craven County, SC. I have visited the archives in Sumter, and made copies of all John's documents there. John left
his Will in 1777, and listed his family as: Wife Sarah, sons Thomas Perry (see deed dated 1 Feb 1771 between John Harris and Thomas Perry of
Bertie, witnessed by Thomas' 1st cousin Zadock Perry, and Thomas' sister Mary Perry
Sweatman and her husband Augustine Sweatman), Abraham Perry (my 5Ggrandfather), Abial Perry, John Perry, Silas Perry, Job Perry, and
daughters Mary Perry (married to Augustine Sweatman), and Sarah Perry (married to William Cole in Bertie County in 1769). John Perry died in 1785
in St. Mark's Parish, Craven Co., SC, and his widow Sarah Perry remarried to
a man named Lowder." on May 10 he says another possibility would be
Thomas Perry of Isle of Wight Co, VA is John Jr.'s father.

Winborne speaks of
Joseph Perry of Perquimans County, North Carolina moving to Hertford County
about 1765. He says he was a brother of Josiah Perry. He says he had seen a
deed from Wm. W. Stephens of Hertford County to Joseph Perry of Perquimans
County for a tract of land in the Harrellsville section for 200 acres of
land adjoining the lands of Lazarus Thomas, dated 20 June 1765 and witnessed
by Benjamin Perry, Phillip Perry and Joel Hollowell, Jr. This land was a
part of the patent of Adam Baring, dated 19 Aug 1719. The deed was proven
before Benjamin Wynns, Clerk at the October term 1765 of the Superior Court
of Hertford County. He goes on to say that Joseph Perry's wife was Agatha.
He died 1826 and John Winborne was administator of his estate. His children
were Preston, Mary, Patrick, Joseph, Elizabeth and John D. Perry

Court of Equity filed April 29 1848"Rebecca Starr
Hi Sally, As a result of recent correspondence with a descendent of
Sarah McCorkle, daughter of Tirzah Perry Lee Street, I have
reviewed my researh notes and concluded that Sarah was NOT born a
Lee. She was a daughter from Tirzah Perry Lee's second
marriage to ________Street. Sarah married Jesse McCorkle.
My confusion was caused by the clerk in a suit brought by the
legatees of Josiah Perry, and all the married females were listed
together, so Sarah [Street] McCorkle was lumped with her married
half sisters Mary M Graham, and Rebecca Kerr . This
descendent has recently located the funeral home record of Sarah and
Jesse McCorkle's son, and that says his mother was born Sarah
Street. Would appreciate if you would correct this on
Sallyfamilyplace. Thanks.
Hope you are well.

compliments of Rebecca Starr
from James
Fort Wondering if you had copies of the Chester County probate
records that you refer to with the Lee family, sure would like to see
those as it does provide a little more insight on that part of the Perry
family. Rebecca Cornelius Perry married Isaac
Tilman not Jesse Tilman. Isaac dies before 1820 and she settles with his
children for 1/6 of the inheritance in order to protect her holdings from
her previous Perry Husband. Her Perry husband calls Roland Cornelius
his brother in law in his will. Isaac
Tilman's first wife was a MacDonald. . . The fact that Roland is
still part of the family doings I would think supports her maiden name
being Cornelius.
Children of Josiah Perry &
his wives:
Children of Fruzanna Perry and
Miles Wells of Bertie Co, later Granville Co
1. Hardy Wells ca 1762 -
married in Caswell Co NC 20 Oct 1784 Elizabeth
Parker
family found in 1786 - Gates Co, then Person Co, and 1800 - Nash Co
from e-mail from John
Fox the marriage of Miles Wells of Bertie to
Fruzanna Perry: I noticed on your site that Fruzanna was listed
as an heir in John Perry's estate (under Josiah's papers?) and that
the dispersion of the estate was completed by 20 October 1761, and she
was still listed as Fruzanna Perry. Miles Wells married his
Fruzanna ca. 1761, as their first born, Hardy Wells, was born ca 1762.
I have a strong hunch that the settling of John Perry's estate spawned
a marriage to Miles Wells, or at least made if very convenient.
Very shortly after, on Nov 25, 1762, John Wells adm granted to Miles
Wells 4-15-1762. Inv Oct 9 1762 by Miles Wells. Sale Nov 25, 1762,
Benjamin Waring, Sarah Wells, Thomas Ward, et al. (Rec of Estates
Bertie 1734-1788) Miles Wells had purchased his first land in
Granville County by 1765. Since no one seems to have any idea
what happened to John and Sarah Perry's daughter, Fruzanna, I cannot
help but feel very strongly that she is the one who married Miles
Wells.
Another interesting bit is that Hardy Wells married Elizabeth Parker
on 20 October 1784 in Caswell County, NC. By 1786 NC Hardy Wells is
listed in Gates pg. 007/state Census. In the interim period he and his
family were back in Person County, which had been formed from Caswell
County in 1796. In 1800 NC Hardy Wells is found in the Nash
County Census item 130 Data included in the Census of 1800 for Nash
County, North Carolina provides the following information: 1 male 10
and under; 1 male 16 and under; 1 male 45 and under; 2 females 10 and
under; 1 female 45 and under. This matches with the known family
of Hardy at that time. It appears from your data and from other
information I have found that the Parker family were found mainly in
the Gates/Nash area, and I believe that the family was there to spend
time with Elizabeth Parker's family. Have you run across a Moses
Parker in your research? There was a Moses Parker who owned land
in Caswell County, but sold it from South Carolina where he eventually
settled. I am not sure about how old this Moses was, and what
kind of connection he may have had with Elizabeth Parker, but it does
provide pause for thought.
By the way, the John Wills you have in the record of a land
transaction among various folks, especially Isaac Hill and Joseph
Perry, was the father of Miles Wells/Wills. It was Robert
Draughan who with Edward Outlaw, who provided bond for the letters of
administration for Miles to settle the estate of his father, John
Wills in 1760. Some of your data on your site from Zane Perry,
states that he believes that Elizabeth Perry was wife to Robert
Draughan. These associations are too close for just coincidence,
I believe.
