In 1825, an Edward and a Nathaniel Perry are shown as Tax Defaulters of 1 poll each in Capt. Blount's Dist. in Jones County, GA. At the same time in the 1825 poll records, there was a William Perry (also 1 poll) who also lived in Capt. Blount's Dist. - shown at the time as holding 727 1/2 acres in Jones, 202 1/2 acres in Crawford, 101 1/2 acres in Monroe Co, and 500 acres in Early Co. GA.
I would like to find proof or leads to define how all these Perry men are/may be related, particularly to others not listed here, and to descendants who later moved to other central and western GA counties on the way to AL and other states to the West, especially into AL, Arkansas and Texas after the civil war.
I believe my Perry line had some members who lived in Early Co. GA, some on the land that had belonged to their father William Perry of Jones Co. GA. The Perry children married into the Green/Greene, Copeland (various spellings), Holliman (various spellings), Dixon/Dickson related lines, and others. Later grandchildren married into the Lewis family in SE AL.
I believe the Perrys of Jasper, Jones, Monroe, Crawford, and Early Co. GA all came from the same ancestral line. I can't account for all of them. I don't know which family member settled on the land (500 acres) that William owned in Early Co. GA. It could have been dispersed to a daughter's family. They likely came to Early Co. in the early 1830s. It is obvious that William Perry owned it in 1825.
I only have the Jones Co. GA tax records showing his ownership of land in Early Co. GA, I don't know where that land actually was. I hope some reader will know. His will was not clear on how the land was dispersed, and he had given some of his land to his older children prior to his death.
I would like to join forces with anyone researching any of these early Perrys, or related lines - maybe we each have pieces of the puzzle.
