I found some Perrys on the net married to daughters of this Hunter, and many have confirmed the Hunter-Perry links. If you will just put Isaac Hunter in your search engine, I think that it will come up. I will try to post the entire Will and my questions, but do not know if the L- pages can print it all. He owned a tavern, listed as historical. It seems that I have records of Elizabeth, Elizabeth Joan, Joan, Jean, and Jane. If you can get this straight, please let me know. Am trying to determine who was the mother of the traditional seven Perry sons who moved to NC, being upset with their father, who had married their aunt -- a Hunter, as his second wife. Which Phllip? Some say the son of the 1st Phillip Perry in this country; others say the third Phillip Perry. Also, please read the pages by Barbara Beall (Twigs of Inman - Spence) and Leila Mayberry (Granny Peach's Page). "Hunter, Isaac, Will Lois, I located the following information on Phillip Perry and Jean Hunter in one of my Perry files, it has the transcribed will of Isaac Hunter. Apparently Jean Hunter was not the mother of the 7 Brothers. Steve Phillip Perry died in Perquimans County, NC in 1751, leaving a will. Named in his will, sons: Jesse, & Phillip, brothers John, Joseph & Jacob. He left to son Jesse "land on Little River" and to Phillip "plantation whereon I now live."
