He was born about 1808 and died after 1880. I find him in census records for 1830, 40, 60, 70, and 80, all in Carter Co. Many trees have his father as Samuel Perry from Chatham Co. NC but I can't find anything that would prove that. Thanks for any help. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
