Hello researching: Thompson, Perry, Pierce or Morgan County, Indiana
Searching for more information on my 3rd great-grandmother: Elizabeth
(Thompson) Perry, born approx: 1815 KY married to Nathan Perry on 11/6/1833
in Johnson Co., Indiana. Nathan Perry born approx 1811 KY. Lived in Morgan
County in 1850 (Banta ?). Elizabeth and Nathan had 8 children: Rachel,
Elizabeth, Mahala, Mary, James, Richard A., Francis and Thomas.
The Indianapolis paper quoted Rachel nearing her 100th birthday with the
following sentence: "her grandmother, she says, was a cousin of George
Washington".
Rachel's grandmother on her father's side (Nathan Perry) was Rebecca (Pierce)
Perry born approx 1790 KY married to Richard Perry, Sr. born approx 1775 NC.
Who was the grandmother Rachel was referring to: Elizabeth (Thompson) Perry
or Richard Perry's mother ....name unknown at this time or Rebecca (Pierce)
Perry?
Who was Elizabeth's parents, etc. ?
Who were her brothers and sisters and in-laws, etc. ?
Any information is most appreciated.
