So he should have served in the militia in 1782-1783. Do you know the first name of Mary Perry's father? Barbara, Thank you, I didn't think about James being assigned to PA militia. I think I read somewhere that Mary Perry was from Ohio???? I can't seem to find anything on her. I wish I could find maybe some church records that would give something on these two. Thanks for the input.....Nancy
