Yes, My ancestor Thomas Peery landed a the Port of Philadelphia, October 8, 1737 on the ship "Charming Nancy" from Plymouth, England but came by the way of Rotterdam. He was from England since he did not sign the Oath of Allegiance to the King of England when he landed. Those that came from Rotterdam had to take the Oath. THOMAS PEERY was a planter and also resided near Staunton, Virginia in an area known as the Beverley Patent. His land joined James Peery's land. He died in 1762 or 1763 in Augusta County. A "Thomas Peery" was a member of Captain John Wilson's Company of Augusta County Militia in 1742. His wife's name was "Mary" and after his death she married William McFetters. Karen Burdue:)

My earliest ancestor in Augusta County was Alexander Crawford, who married Mary McPheeters. If I have the genealogy correct, she was the daughter of the William McPheeters whose second wife was Mary, the widow of Thomas Peery. Alexander and Mary Crawford were killed by Indians in 1764. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, October 13, 2004 8:38 PM Subject: [VAAUGUST] Early Augusta Settlers-Peery family > > Yes, My ancestor Thomas Peery landed a the Port of Philadelphia, October > 8, > 1737 on the ship "Charming Nancy" from Plymouth, England but came by the > way > of Rotterdam.
