First showing of the Perry name in the county was in the 1860 Stoddard census: John C Perry 43 NC Thena (Parthenia)35 NC William M(arvin?) 15 NC Lucetta? 10 NC Sowell J 8 TN* Sarah J 6 TN (no name) 2 MO. George D (in 1860 census) 6 MO Anyone know what county in NC or TN these Perrys came from? They intermarried with the Aslins in Stoddard. In 1874, John C took guardianship of the minor heirs of a Charles Perry. The children's names were Alexander, Jesse and Charles. Could Charles Sr have been a brother to John C? John C died about 1879 and in 188? his son William took guardianship over the children, although I've never seen their names show up on Stoddard census. Any ideas where those children may have gone? *Sowell Jesse Perry is my husband's great grandfather. He married 1st, Louisa Lewis in 1874 and by 1880 they were divorced with 2 children, William born ca 1875 and Mary born ca 1877. Sowell married 2nd, Nancy Chasteen (widow of William Glass)in 1883 and then about 1895, they moved to TX. Am desperately seeking info on these lines and will happily share what I know. Thanks! Becky
