As I have posted before my 4th great grandfather is Aaron Perry ( ca 1819-1885). He was born in Kentucky according to the census. He died 1885 in Allen County, Ky. His wife is Rebecca Cushenberry. I am trying to determine who is Aaron Perry's parents. This is the important part. In the 1880 Allen Co., Ky census Aaron states his father was from North Carolina and his mother from Virginia. There are no other Perry's in Allen Co., Ky. Because of the Ky/Tn state line dispute over where the state line should be Allen County, Ky was in Tn also. Families were in both Allen Co., Ky and Sumner Co. TN. About the time my Aaron was born ca 1819 the state line was settled shortly after. In the early Tennessee records there is a earlier Aaron Perry in Davidson co., TN where Nashville, Tn is. He and a Sion Perry and a Burwell Perry were in Sumner Co. Tn which Wilson County was formed from and Davidson was one of the first counties. Aaron, Burwell and Sion Perry were in these TN counties from 1793 to 1799. After that they must have moved. So, my question is who out of this Aaron, Burwell and Sion Perry would be born in North Carolina with a wife born in Virginia. ?? If I could prove this it might prove which one is my Aaron Perry's parents in Allen County, Ky across the state line from Tennessee. Any info would be appreciated. Marianne Dillow Illinois
