Hi John Have you found any evidence of A Sarah Chappell marrying a JAcob Perry? I descend from Jacob son of Reuben Perry and have a lot of Quaker information on his descendants. There is some speculaton on a second marriage for him in Indiana Quaker records. I have not yet found any proof of this marriage. There is also some question of how many Reuben Perrys there actually were on succession. I believe there were only two, but some say three. I also have descendant lines on JAcob's siblings and uncles. Joy in Wisc. Joy in Wisc.
