Hello Debra..........Interested in your "tidbits" that you stated you have found
(25 Nov. 2002).
My 5th great-grandparents were Richard Perry (B: 1775 NC) and Rebecca Pierce (B: 1790 KY).
I am related through their son Nathan (and Elizabeth Thompson) and then his son Thomas
Perry (Martha "Nattie" Duke).
I have a copy of a Morgan Co. paper in December 1936 that Rachel (Nathan's daughter)
quoted when she was of sound mind when she was 100 years old that her grandmother was a
cousin to Pres. George Washington. Supposedly Elizabeth Thompson's mother's
maiden name was Mary Elizabeth Nichols. I am still researching if it is the Grandmother
"Pierce" or "Nichols". Have you ever come across such data?
