In the Scituate VRs, Births p. 293, I find three references to a "William Perry of Freetown." PERRY, Lydia, d. William of Freetown, "& adopted by Elizabeth Tolman wife of Benjam," bp. July 19, 1730. and PERRY, Joseph, ch. W[illia]m dec'd "Late" of Freetown, bp. June 11, 1732. C.R.2. PERRY, Elizabeth , ch. W[illi]m dec'd "Late" of Freetown, bp. June 11, 1732. C.R.2. Does anyone know who this William Perry of Freetown was and/or how he might/might not be connected to the Perrys of Scituate? There were several William Perrys in the Scituate area, and I'm trying to keep them all straight--not an easy task. This William of Freetown is totally unknown to me, but he could have come from the Scituate area--esp. if after his death his children were adopted/baptized there. The Mayflower tie-in is that my Joseph Perry of Scituate, married into a Mayflower line in 1757. (His third wife was Abigail Ford, descendant of Richard Warren.) I'm trying to identify Joseph's parents--but I'll make that a separate query. :-) Help/advice will be greatly appreciated! Kendall Mellem jimell@swbell.net
