In my database I have Thomas Peery (1749-1820) + Margaret Dennis (1753-1820) as the first. Thomas was born in Augusta County but died in Tazewell. His father was also Thomas Peery (1715-1762), born King William Co. and his father William Peery (1692-1764) born in Salem Co., NJ. Eric ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert L.
