I am searching for any information (other than the DAR records) for Captain James Perry. He was married to Elizabeth (Sarah) Briggs. He was born abt. 1731 and died 1815 in Putnam County, NY. The DAR records indicate that he was captain of Continental infantry ,1776. I believe the information below is also his. Perry, James, Easton.Captain of a company which marched on the alarm of April 19, 1775; service, 10 days; also, Captain, Col. Paul Dudley Sargent's (28th) regt.; muster roll dated Aug. 12, 1775; engaged July 1, 1775; service, 1 mo. 15 days; also, company return dated Oct. 6, 1775; also, Captain, 16th regt.; engaged Jan. 1, 1776; roll endorsed "3 mo from 1 Jany to 6 apl '76." Research from other family members indicates that he was sent to NY by General Howell as a POW and was charged as a spy, but apparently it never went to trial. If anyone has any information, I would greatly appreciate it. My e-mail address is: jkpcg@bellsouth.net - work or ddillmann@sc.rr.com - home Thank you. Emily
