Posted on: Union Co. Tn Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Tn/Union/875 Surname: Perry ------------------------- I do have a time making myself clear. I should have put spaces in between the lines of the subjects. The children Listed for John Arthur Perry are for the book OUR UNION COUNTY HERITAGE VOL II BY GRAVES AND McDONALD. Otto is listed as a child. I don't have any other names for John Arthur children except whats in the book. I could send you copies of what I have, I would be glad to. Martha 1845 and Andrew 1849 are the chilldren of Paul Paul is John Arthurs granddaddy. The Paul I am refering to is Paul of 1817 Richard's dad. Paul was married twice maybe three times as far as I can find out. Paul married first Milla ? mother of most od his children. Then Sallie Barger 2-3 children If richard's death certificate is correct than Paul mush have married someone named ? Collins for that is what it has listed. I have had a real hard time getting this family straigh. Information is hard to get. I have written to the Union County Historical Society many times and a few they have answered and some they have not. I have wtitten to Virgie Perry many times, she always writes back and is very sweet but refers me to Ellen Perry. Ellen is the Historian for the Perrys. She call me twice but somehow I still miss some of what she said. I mailed her my family tree as well as pictures and I wrote to her many times but she does not write back. Union County has been my sorce of material. I also ordered all their census and cemetery book. But if the family did not have a headstone they I don't know where to find them except if I can met people who will be willing to share information. I found a second cousin in Knoxville that had family picture which he promised to send and never did I even sent him money to cover the expense still nothing. His information would be on Andrew 1849 family. He doesn't have much but the picture would like a blessing for I do have a few of my Andrew's children, will I have some of four people, which I had hoped he could indentify. Two I know. Paul of 1817 and his father james of 1782-1787 were listed in the census books a living in Hancock, Union and Grainger Counties. Let me know if I have this information correct or not. Also about the book I know for a fact that even in there some of their information is wrong. I found that in my Carr family. Hope to hear from you again. It through sharing that maybe things will come together. I am as I said more than willing to send you all of what I have. LOL
