Hi all, The latest discussion...has been centering around a PERRY family line. When my MOSS line, enroute from Wilkes/Oglethorpe Co's GA, in 1810, to LA...they had the two eldest adult kids, George MOSS Sr and Mary "Polly" [Moss] BOOTH, choose to stay in Wilkinson Co. MS. .with their spouses, Lucretia [Glass] Moss and Reuben BOOTH. The rest of the family for Nathaniel MOSS-Joanna JOHNSON [parents-siblings] group went on to Lafayette Parish LA....and most stayed in LA for several generations. With the above precedent in mind...my question: Is this PERRY family is connected to the Captain Robert PERRY line of South Central LA ..................Perry, Vermilion Parish LA ??? I'm asking because the above PERRY line inter-wove into my MOSS lines...several times and I have several other lines [including CAMPBELL] that also made this GA > LA trek.

He states that John Perry was the uncle of his grandfather, George Perry Jr. That would make the older John Perry; husband of Eleanor Murphy; the brother of George Perry Sr and the son of Job Perry and Jemima Perry. The note also states that Henry Perry was the oldest son of John and Eleanor. I was pretty sure that was the case but it is always nice to have a little back up. I am trying to sort this family. Martin has me stumped. According to the census he aged only a few years between census. Starting in 1850 he was 24, 1860 he was 27, in 1870 he was 30 living with Caroline who was 25. Martin Perry md Catharine Sturdivant 14 Dec 1872, two years after this census. Martin is not in the 1880 census but Carolina Perry is there, age 32. I am including the census for this family. My question: Is this the same man in each census or was there another Martin Perry I am missing?
