Thanks, Neda. I wish I could connect my Boling to the ones in Tazewell --still looking for Harrison Boling's parents. May go to my grave trying to do that! Hope one of my grandchildren takes an interest so I can leave the info with someone who cares!

Given the flow of recent emails about the Tazewell County pioneer family the Peerys, I thought that researchers of this line would be interested in the Peery family website, maintained by Paul D. Peery. The address is: http://www.cc.utah.edu/~pdp7277/ If this site has been mentioned recently on the list, and I missed it, please forgive the duplication.

Eric, My laptop froze up on me last night. I am not sure if you got my reply about the parents of Harrison Boling. Do you have any documentation??? Where did that info come from??? I have long thought that Benjamin and Prudence could have been Harrison's parents, but haven't been able to prove it. Please share any documentation or sources. Harrison is the only ancestor I have who wasn't in Tazewell County! I think I know how he and Matilda Peery met in TN, but... Thanks for any clues. Please excuse this second message if you got the first one.

Thanks for the reminder. I haven't visited that site for awhile. A lot of the info was compiled by Joseph Stras Peery, who also contributed to the book by J.N. Harman.

Clear DayJudy, Don, Gwenn, et al- Thank you to all those on the Tazewell County list who have graciously taken time to submit Peery-Perry information during the last few days. I really appreciate it, and have shared it with other cousins who have been studying our ancestor Jesse Perry whom we believe lived in Henry County, VA before migrating to South Carolina in the 1790's. My Tazewell County ancestry comes through my mother and includes the surnames Ward, Bowen, Thompson, PEERY, McCall, George et al. I have always concentratred my Tazewell research on those lines. And it never occurred to me to look for a link between the Tazewell PEERYs and my father's PERRY ancestor Jesse Perry. This should really not have been suprising to me, because of another Tazewell - SC link in my family. My father was a direct descendant of Capt Robert Bowen who also went to SC in the 1790's, and was a brother of Lt. Rees Bowen, progenator of the Tazewell Bowens. My mother and father were 3rd cousins twice removed on their Bowen lines. Though speculative, it could certainly be possible that the first Thomas PEERY-PERRY, the father of the boys who went to Tazewell in 1773, and who lived near Staunton, VA, could have been a relative of my Jesse Perry. From what I've read on this list yesterday and this morning, it is implied that in that time and place the Peerys spelled there name interchangeably. And that even among those who came and stayed in Tazewell used the different spellings. Thank you again. Any further information on this subject would also be graciously appreciated.

Hello, All Perry, Peary, Peery, folk History of Tazewell County and Southwest Virginia 1748-1920 (pg. 420-423) William C. Pendleton 1920 reprinted 1989 with index The Peerys were of of the Scotch-Irish Blood and came to Pennsylvania during the great Exodus of these people from Ultser, Ireland. From Pennsylvania the settled in Augusta County, Virginia. "First settler's, in 1773, Thomas, William and George, who were brothers, moved from Augusta County, to what is now Tazewell County, they were son's of Thomas Peery and were raised in Black Creek, near Staunton, Virginia. Thomas Peery Married Margaret Dennis and they raised a family of eleven children, six sons, five daughters. They were: Jonathan, James, William, Thomas(Burke's Garden), Joseph, Harvey George, Mary, Rebecca, Permelia, Eleanor and Nancy. William Peery married Sallie Evan's, a sister of Jessie Evans, who's children were massacred by the Indian's, at old Buse Harman place. When the County of Tazewell was created, William Peery gave thirteen acres of land for the county seat, court house and jail were erected thereon. After the massacre, William Peery had a large family, most of his children after marrying went west. He had five sons and seven daughter's. Robert, Evans, George, Thomas and Henry, Sophia, Emily, Cosby, Polly, Nancy, Olivia and Cynthia. George Peery,.... the author of the book stated he failed getting record's of his children. I have no Idea if he tried or not "In the year 1773 John Peery, a cousin of Thomas, William, and George, who were the first Peery in the area, John settled a short distance west of the present county seat of Tazewell, near Plum Creek. Two of his brothers, Solomon and James, Settled near him and lived in the community for several years, Solomon moved with his family to some place on Big Sandy River, and James moved to Tennessee. This John Peery was sometimes called "Short Johnnie", to distinguish him from a kinsman also named John, and who lived on the Clinch.("Long John" John Perry, Blacksmith came over 1773 resided on the Clinch born in Augusta County married a Nancy Martin in 1772) In the records of the county court I find that "Short Johnnie" is mentioned as "John Peery, Distillery". He had a distillery where he made apple and peach brandy, and corn whiskey. John and his son, Thomas, went with Captain James Moore's company to North Carolina in 1781, and were in the engagement at Guilford Court House. Thomas, the son, was killed in the battle, and John, the father, was desperately wounded, receiving fifty-four saber cuts that were inflicted by Tarleton's brutal British troopers while he was lying helpless on the ground. "Short Johnnie" had a large family, but I have only the name of one in addition to Thomas, who was killed, There was a son named John, who lived on Clear Fork, and he was known as "John Peery, SILVERSMITH." "Long John" It is certain that the Peery's who lived on Plum Creek were the descendants of "Short Johnnie." Married Nancy Martin 1772 children were born all in the Clinch children are; James, David, Catherine, Jane, Archibald, George and Jonathan, of theses, 2 sons, David and George remained in Tazewell County and settled on lands they inherited. I've had this book for a few years and I never read it, if wasn't for everybody here, I wouldn't have looked into it..........Thank You.

Hello all, Just FYI....If you have not been to the Tazewell Co GenWeb Archives, it is located at http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/va/tazewell.htm. I ran a search on Peery and came up with 142 references at the sight. Here is an example: Perry Cemetery, Tazewell County, Virginia This cemetery is located at Ben Bolt in Tazewell co,Va. To find Go to four way in Tazewell.Get on 61 5 tenth mil turn left Across from Tazewell Middle School past Ben Bolt Estates.The cemetery is on Hill Straight ahead. Nancy Perry Wife of H. T. Perry B.mar.12 .1822 D.july 19. 1896 And Others are listed as well as Nancy. Also one of the earliest Tazewell Co. land deals for a Peery seems to be the following: John Peery (Blacksmith) 25 Jan 1793 Tazewell County 20 a. On Lincolnshire Branch of Clinch River adjoining a survey made for Moffett Grants No. 54, p. 302 For any of you who have documents regarding Tazewell Co...this is a great way to share them and perhaps meet someone else researching the same people. I am the coordinator for the Tazewell Co. GenWeb Archives, so if you have anything you would like to contribute, just send it to me at sharkay@cccexpress.com. We take just about everything except gedcoms. Sharon Hamilton

Clear DayWho was the first PEERY (s) to settle in present day Tazewell County? Were there several PEERY families in early Tazewell co who were not related to each other? Did the spelling EE develop after they came to Tazewell? Where did they come from before coming to Tazewell? I'm descended from Rebecca PEERY shown below and Archibald Thompson. But the information below is all I have for that line. Can anyone enlighten me? 1-Thomas PEERY (abt 1715-1762) sp-Mary (-) . . . . . 2-George PEERY (Jul 12, 1755-Nov 9, 1830) . . . . . sp-Martha DAVIDSON (1757-Nov 21, 1836) . . . . . . . . . . 3-Rebecca PEERY (Jul 2, 1778-Nov 12, 1836) thanks, Robt Perry robertperry@citlink.net -------------------------- Judy- My Tazewell roots are on my mother's side and include the names Ward, Bowen, Thompson, George, McCall and of course PEERY [ with 2 e's]. The [ ONE E ] PERRY side of my family was in Pickens county, SC [Pendleton District] after 1800. I descend from Jesse Perry and his wife Johanna Cooper who were both born 1776-1780 and died in the 1840's in SC. Johanna was born in Henry county, VA [ near present day Martinsville ] and there is some unproved evidence that Jesse was also. We have not found jesse's parents. We are at a dead on Jesse, but Johanna's paents were Thomas T. Cooper, Sr and Elizabeth Rea who were married Henry county before 1788. Several other families who married in SC to Jesse's & Johnanna's children were Pilgram, Jameson, Mauldin, & Johnson, and they seem to have Hnery county roots as well.

It is entirely possible to speculate some of Jesse Perry's siblings and cousins moved westward toward Tazewell and your Nancy Perry could have come from that family.

If you have any information that your Nancy had any connection to Henry county or the names I've mentioned above, I would love to hear back from you. thanks- Robt Perry

OK, let me put my .02¢ worth in with my link to the Thomas Peery-Ann Gose posted here. I show: Thomas Peery b. November 10, 1786 Burkes Garden, VA d. February 17, 1872 Burkes Garden, VA married May 17, 1818 Burkes Garden to: Anna Jane Gose b. May 15, 1798 Burkes Garden, VA d. April 23, 1857 Burkes Garden, VA children included (I have further info but only outlined here) Margaret Gose Peery (1820-1848) + John Jamison Greever, Rev. Martin Jesse Peery (1823-1874) + M. Angeline Mahood Stephen Gose Peery (1824-1863) + Elizabeth Mary Repass Elizabeth Peery (1826-1880) + Isaac Hudson Archibald Peery, Capt. (1828-1872) + Mary Boyle Dailey Sarah Jane Peery (1830-1896) + Andrew Jackson Muncy James Henry Peery, MD (1833-1894) + Mary Letitia Spotts Sophia Ann Peery (1836-1885) + Elias Foglesong Thomas Peery, Capt. (1841-1908) + Sarah Henrietta Repass (and) Lora V. Shawver. Now, this Thomas Peery who married Anna Gose was brother to William Dennis Peery (1785-1866) who is my line. William married c.1804 to Mary Polly Wynne (1784-1816). Eric S. Huffstutler Richmond, VA

Again quoting from J.N. Harman's book --there were 5 Peery emigrants: John, Thomas, James, George and Joseph. The first four were thought to be brothers --Joseph was considered a relative, but exact relationship wasn't known. The Scotch Irish settled Augusta County --most came by way of Philadelphia. Hope this helps. Sheila ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert L.

Robert and others, According to Annals of Tazewell County by J. N. Harman, the first Peerys came to Tazewell in 1773. The Thomas you mention died in Augusta in 1762/63.George was born in Augusta County and died in Tazewell County. I have seen the name spelled: Peery, Perry, Perie, Peary.
