There were Perrys here in Bartholomew early, living in the same general area (northwest quarter of the county); Ransom Perry was quite prominent, one of the first 12 land purchasers in 1820. He came from North Carolina and Tennessee, and the Coxes from Ohio, so not likely they had any connection before they arrived in Bartholomew. Boys were occasionally named in honor of Commodore Perry, but I think that was probably later that 1821. Do you have exact dates for John Perry Cox's birth & death? For my files. Thanks
