Hello listers, I have a Michael Perry who owned and opperated a flourmill on the South Branch of the Potomac River about 1805. I found him as Michael Perrey on the 1820 VA census in Hampshire Co. and he was listed as a manufacturer. I also found his father in-law Thomas Barthelow in the same census listed as in Commerce. So I assume that Michael manufactured flour and Thomas transported it to a city. This is as far back as I have gotten on this line. Has anyone heard of these guys? Where can I find tax records etc.? Also Michael married 1) Rachael Bartholow July 24, 1813 in Allegany co., MD 2) Elizabeth Jones January 09, 1818 in Allegany co., MD Thomas married Ann Nelson Thanks, Bob Perry ( raider6066@yahoo.com ) --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
