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.
