I found some postings on this man in the archives of this list from 2003, and I wanted to try to make contact with anyone who descends from this man, with the hopes that they may be members of this list. William Stanton Perry is one of my husband's ancestors. He was born in South Kingston, Rhode Island, and lived there all or most of his life, as far as I know. He was a Quaker, and he was a member of the South Kingston MM. His mother might have been a daughter of Joseph Perry (1752-1818) and his wife Mary Stanton. Joseph was a son of Edward Perry (born 1707) of Sandwich, Barnstable County, MA, and his wife Sarah Tripp. This man has been a challenge ever since I discovered him in the family tree. Some believe he might have been a son of Samuel Perry of the Kingston area, but the story that a family Bible indicates that Susanna Perry, daughter of Joseph, was his mother would contradict that theory. I would like very much to see a scanned image or photocopy image of that Bible, and any family letters that address the same subject, and I would be happy to pay the expense involved. If the Bible is in the hands of a historical society, please tell me which one. If you have any information to share on this man and his parentage or descendants, I would be delighted to hear from you. My husband is a descendant, by way of William's son Edward Burroughs Perry.
