I am looking for information on Caleb CALLAWAY of Perquimans County North Carolina if anyone has his Bible I would like to know the list of children in it. I am looking to see if by chance he had a daughter named Rachel who married John Wiatt in 1696. And I how I can convince someone else she is not his granddaughter. My line comes through Elizabeth Wyatt Oates, who it clearly says in Caleb's will is his granddaughter.

Need info on Davenport/Devonport Gooding and family. Born 1701-1710 in Ma. Was living in Chowan and Perquimans Co. between 1740-1758. He had a least two children. Thanks, Jean

Does anyone on this list knoiw anything about this document. Is there a printed copy for sale. I am looking for information on a Mary OATES who married a Stroud. She might be the sister of my eightgreatgrandfather James OATES. She is mentioned in Perquimans County Deed Book A #112 where she Mary STROUD did bind her eldest daughter Easter STROUD to James OATES for 15 years date 12/Oct/1696. I am interested in locating her will. I am also interested in locating a document which would prove that James OATS and Elizabeth PERRY EVANS were married in 1695. Would anyone know about it.

Hi I was born and raised in Perquimans County, and I have never heard of Warwick in Perquimans County That dont mean that it is not there, but I am 63 and never heard my grandfather/grandmother mention that name. If someone finds anything out about Warwick.

Thank you, I want to say thank you to all that replied to my question about New Bern I wish you all luck in your search for you Family tree's RJ Dixon

Are you sure about Elizabeth PERRY. There was a Reuben White married (abt 1800) to Elizabeth Harrell. They lived in Wadesboro, Anson, NC. Their daughter Martha P White was born 5 Aug 1806.

Hi This may help with the Perry question, most of this info. from Watsons book History of Perq. Co. Issac Wilson married Elizabeth Perry Dec. 2, 1742. Elizabeth Perry is the Dau. of Jacob Perry, his will Probated Oct, 1777. gives the following: Sons Jacob, Israel, Reuben, Dempsy and John Perry. Daughters: Priscilla Welch wife of Dampsey Welch, Hepsibah Stallings wife of Hardy Stallings Ann Winslow wife of Caleb Winslow, GRAND SON, ISSAC WILSON, Son of ISSAC. Wife Ann. Israel Perrys Will Probated May 27, 1779: Sons Josiah, Israel, John Cader, and Jacob, Dau. Millicent, (M. Jesse Chappell) Ruth (m.Maliki Hill) Rachel (M. Richard Skinner) Ann Perry, Priscilla Twine wife of Thomas Twine, Wife not named, his brother Phillip Perry and Thomas Twine Exec. My Desc. was Daniel Rogerson who lived next to both Jacob and Israel Perry. My research of all the Deeds and Doc. from the Arcives show that Jacob Perry and John Riddick Pettioned the Court in 1744 to build a Grist mill on the lands of Daniel Rogerson and Thomas Lilly dec. In April Court 1755 Daniel Rogerson petitions the court for leave to build a water mill on my own land and that of Thomas Lilly Dec. Jacob Perry is also at that same Court and states that he was married to Ann Lilley, Dau, of Thomas who lived in the Piney Woods (District) before 1755, at a casual glance that would not seem important. but it is. Thomas Lilly Sr. Daniel Rogersons Father in law, died in 1735, wills the part joining to Daniel Rogerson to son Thomas Lilly Jr. who Wills it to Dau Ann Lilly 1744. Jacob Perry marries this Ann Lilly, possibly 2nd wife before 1755. This puts the land in Jacob Perrys possession. and his will list Wife Ann who possibly could be the mother of some of Jacob Perrys Children.

All I have is Elizabeth Perry b. abt 1774 ____, Perquimans, NC. Her father was Philip Perry, and she had an elder sister Millicent b. 1768. I do not yet have them connected into the rest of the Perrys, nor did I have her marriage. In Perquimans there was an earlier Philip Perry (b. abt 1702) with a daughter Elizabeth (b. abt 1736) and a second son Phillip (b. abt 1726), for whom I have no marriage or children - but he would be the right age to be the father of the Elizabeth b. abt 1774. There is also a Phillip Perry (b. 1740 ____, ____, NC d. 1805 ____, Robeson, NC), for whom I have no marriage or children. He is in in a different branch of the family, parents James and Patience Perry. James came from Isle of Wight Co, Va and died 1769 in Halifax Co, NC.

John I am particularly interested in what you have found on the Quaker Perrys as I descend from them. The earliest record I have found is a Court record for Jacob Perry and John Riddick requesting to build a Grist Mill in 1744 other than the Quaker marriage of Elizabeth Perrey to Isaac Willson in 1743. According to Winslow's History of Perquimans Co., NC Jacob is the son of John and Mary Perry. The Quakers were in Perquimans Co. in 1680, yet Perry records begin in 1743. What do you have on this family of Quaker Perrys? Joy in Wisc.

Le and John, I am still very much interested in the granddaughther ELIZABETH PERRY mentioned....not Elizabeth (Perry) Evins, thinking she might be my ELIZABETH PERRY b ca 1772-1776 who married 1798(in South Carolina according to family) REUBEN WHITE b 1770 in NC, POSSIBLY ANSON County. Are there any indications of what happened to that granddaughter?

According to my notes both Micajah Perry and Elizabeth (Perry) Evans were children of Richard Perry, whose wife is unknown. This Micajah (b. 10 Oct 1644 d. 1721) made a will on 22 Dec 1720. He had a son Richard (Dick) (b. ? d. 16 Apr 1720), who had a son Micajah (Mike) (b. ? d. ?) who was the Lord Mayor (1738-39). The elder Micajah's will names 3 other grandchildren (besides the younger Micajah): Mary Perry, Elizabeth Perry and Philip Perry - as well as his sister Elizabeth Evans. I have not found the birth records for these 3 grandchildren, so cannot be certain their father was Richard Perry: it is possible Richard had a brother I have not found. If so, the brother must, like Richard, have died before their father. There is one slight peculiarity: if the widow of Richard Evans who married James Oates is Micajah's sister, why does his will - written 25 years after her remarriage - still use her first husband's name. Possibly she reverted to using it after her second husband died in 1703? Possibly this woman in Perquimans is not Micajah's sister? Richard Perry had a younger brother, Philip Perry, who moved from London to Isle of Wight County, VA. The dates I have for his descendents don't yet make complete sense, possibly because of two later Philip Perrys having been run together, but several of them moved to Chowan/Perquimans. At least some of these descendents were Quakers, because they occur in Meeting Records - the earliest I have found is in 1760. There are some first names which suggest they may already have been Quakers before 1700. James Oates is in the 1702 Tax List. Given the lack of Perrys in the extant early eighteenth century tax lists for Perquimans, I suspect they initially lived just over the border in Chowan but attended Meeting in Perquimans: as far as I know, there has never been a Quaker Meeting anywhere in Chowan.

Hi John On map dated 1733 it is called Road to Elizabeth River. It cuts across Pasquotank County and then Goes due North, East of the Great Dismal Swamp. This is from Perquimans County, A Brief History by Alan D. Watson I have read that most traveled by water and canals. When people moved inland, the courts and justices decided where the roads would be built. These roads were poorly maintained in the early seventeenth century and according to court documents many complaints were received. Ferries were also approved by the court system in conjunction with the poor roads. Joy in Wisc.

New Bern is one of the oldest towns in North Carolina, founded in 1710 by Swiss and German settlers led by Christopher von Graffenried. It is named after Bern in Switzerland. It is in Craven County at the junction of the Neuse and Trent Rivers. It followed after Edenton as the Colonial capital, and the Royal Governor William Tryon built a lavish residence there, which burned in 1798 and was reconstructed in the 1950s (Tryon Palace).

Having checked my North Carolina County Maps, all I can come up with is a Warwick Creek that forms most of the boundary between Chowan and Gates counties. It begins in Chowan just west of County Line Road (the boundary between Chowan and Perquimans) and flows west into the Chowan River. Maybe Warwick was the name of a plantation? I cannot even think of anything now in Perquimans that could become Warwick as the result of a transcription error. While on the subject of geographical names, I would like to throw out another question. NC-1001 from Nicanor in Perquimans up to US-158 near Morgans Corner in Pasquotank is named Turnpike Road, and most of it is dead straight. In eighteenth century England a turnpike was a major coaching road. Elizabeth City (which only became the Pasquotank county seat in 1800) is not nearly as old as Hertford and Edenton, so presumably neither is the route of US-17. Was Turnpike Road once the main route between the Albemarle and Tidewater? At 03:14 PM 01/16/2000 -0600, Le Bateman wrote: > Has anyone ever heard of Warwick, North Carolina in Perquimans Co.

I seem to recollect having previously noticed some confusion in the information somewhere. According to my notes both Micajah Perry and Elizabeth (Perry) Evans were children of Richard Perry, whose wife is unknown. This Micajah (b. 10 Oct 1644 d. 1721) made a will on 22 Dec 1720. He had a son Richard (Dick) (b. ? d. 16 Apr 1720), who had a son Micajah (Mike) (b. ? d. ?) who was the Lord Mayor (1738-39). The elder Micajah's will names 3 other grandchildren (besides the younger Micajah): Mary Perry, Elizabeth Perry and Philip Perry - as well as his sister Elizabeth Evans. I have not found the birth records for these 3 grandchildren, so cannot be certain their father was Richard Perry: it is possible Richard had a brother I have not found. If so, the brother must, like Richard, have died before their father. There is one slight peculiarity: if the widow of Richard Evans who married James Oates is Micajah's sister, why does his will - written 25 years after her remarriage - still use her first husband's name. Possibly she reverted to using it after her second husband died in 1703? Possibly this woman in Perquimans is not Micajah's sister? Richard Perry had a younger brother, Philip Perry, who moved from London to Isle of Wight County, VA. The dates I have for his descendents don't yet make complete sense, possibly because of two later Philip Perrys having been run together, but several of them moved to Chowan/Perquimans. At least some of these descendents were Quakers, because they occur in Meeting Records - the earliest I have found is in 1760. There are some first names which suggest they may already have been Quakers before 1700. James Oates is in the 1702 Tax List. Given the lack of Perrys in the extant early eighteenth century tax lists for Perquimans, I suspect they initially lived just over the border in Chowan but attended Meeting in Perquimans: as far as I know, there has never been a Quaker Meeting anywhere in Chowan.

The LDS records, on Film 1761127, show a marriage between James Oates and Mrs Elizabeth Eivans on 11 Sep 1694 in Perquimans; on Batch No F800512 Source Call No 1260814 a marriage between James Oates and Elizabeth Perry on 11 Sep 1694 in Warwick, NC (a place which I never heard of). Eivans is almost certainly a mistake for Evans, as I have an Elizabeth Perry, daughter of Richard Perry (without a birthdate, but her siblings range between 1644 and 1653, all born in London). Micajah Perry�s 1720 will names sister Elizabeth Evans, but we do not have the first name of her husband: there is a supposition that he was Richard Evans of Perquimans. These 2 marriage records point to her remarrying in Perquimans, and thus confirm the supposition. However, even if she was the youngest child of her parents, which is probable, she would have been well into her thirties when she married James Oates. Her brother Micajah's grandson, also Micajah (Mike) Perry, was Lord Mayor of London, 1738-39. The last of the 5 children by her first husband was born 30 Nov 1693. She seems definitely to have had a son with her second husband, born 7 Aug 1797, but there are 2 records which disagree on his name: one gives John and the other Joseph. There are also records showing 2 previous sons, James (b. 1694 - which seems unlikely) and Jethro (b. 1696). My guess would be that somebody found 2 sons from a previous marriage of his, and made up dates to fit in after his marriage to Elizabeth. There is an individual record for James Oates showing birth 1660 Perran Zaboloe, Cornwall, England and death 3 Oct 1703 Albemarle Precinct, Perquimans, NC.

Given Joy's information, he may be a grandson or great-grandson of Caleb and Elizabeth (Roslyn) Savage who had 7 children in Perquimans: Edward Savage b. 25 Jan 1741 m. 1764 Nancy Frame b. 19 Feb 1744 Byron Savage b. Oct 1743 Ruth Savage b. 1 Jun 1745 Mary Ann Savage b. 1747 Caleb Savage b. 1749 Wesley Savage b. 11 Dec 1752 John Savage b. 11 Dec 1752 The children of Edward and Nancy (Frame) Savage were: Thomas Savage b. 10 Mar 1766 Abraham Savage b. 18 Oct 1768 Walter Savage b. 24 Aug 1770 Anna Savage b. 17 May 1772 Samuel Savage b. 19 Jul 1774 Helen Savage b. 15 Feb 1776 I haven't found marriages for any of the other males. There was a marriage in Perquimans between John Savage and Elizabeth Laseter on 20 May 1815: possibly your man and an earlier wife?
