To: Whomever, The 1817 deposition below about William Perry and heirs was found incidental to searching Franklin County Court minutes for someone else. I have no additional information about this family. If they are your ancestors, enjoy! Regards, Jim crosslin@lasercom.net ------------ extracted from Franklin County court minutes -------------- Minutes of June Court 1817 On motion, James Strother and Benjamin Perry came into court and made oath that they were well acquainted with William C. Perry, late a soldier in the 10th Regiment of the United States Army, that they have understood and believe that he died in the Service, that he has left a widow Cieley Perry, two half sisters, Sally Perry, and Polly Perry, and a half brother named John Perry, & that these are the Heirs and next of kin, known to these deponents.
