Specifically, I am trying to connect the descendants of John Perry, Sr., who lived in the late 18th-early 19th century, and who is listed in the 1790 and 1800 censuses. I know he had two sons, John Jr. and David (David is my ancestor). I am trying to verify whether Daniel Perry was also his son. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Rob Burney

Rob, According to the Bladen Heritage book he had eleven children. Those known to the author were John, David, Jenkins and Daniel. I will send you what I can find later this weekend.

Hi Rob, I'm sorry this took so long - From # 17 674 THE FAMILY OF JOHN PERRY, SR. John Perry, Sr. (ca. 1755-1811), a veteran of the American Revolution, married Nancy McShaw Colville (ca. 1765-1810).
