I'm not a Perry researcher but took this from the Edward Perry genealogy
published in the Rhode Island Historical Magazine(formerly The Newport
Historical Magazine), Vol 5 No.4 Apr. 1885
(FWIW at the top of the magazine in handwriting is "Thomas A Greene, May
1885")
SAMUEL2 PERRY (Edward1) was born 1664, and died
June, 1716, aged, 52. He married, May 9 1690, Mary
Tucker, of Henry and Martha, of Dartmouth. Mary
was born Aug. 16 1668. He moved to Rhode Island, and
as early as Dec. 21, 1696, was a freeman of Kingstown.
His will was dated 4th month, 16th day, 1716, and was
proved July 16, 1716. Inventory of personal estate was
taken July 11, 1716, and amounted to £730.16.7. He
mentioned in his will his wife Mary and five sons. He
had no daughters, and was but once married. Children:
I. James3, born about 1691, married, 1st, November 11,
1718, Abigail Easton, of James; married, 2d, No-
vember 15, 1733, Alma Bennett, of Jonathan,
(Newport Quaker Records): Is called eldest son
in his fathers will, inherited the homestead and
mill and lived in the Narragansett country.
II. Edward3, born about 1693, called second son in his
fathers will, inherited 500 acres of land his father
bought of William Champlin and John Hill at a
place called Pasquesett. Also with his brother Ben-
jamin, lands on Wood River. He lived in the
Narragansett Country. There was a freeman of
this name in South Kingstown, 1754, also in
Charlestown the same year.
III. Sainne3, born 1695, died December 21, 1775, aged 80..
He married Susanna Hazard, who was born April
23, 1699, and died January or June 27, 1756. He
was a freeman of the colony from Westerly, April
30, 1723. Called third son in his fathers will.
IV. Simeon3, born about 1698, called 4th son in the will
of his father, was a surveyor ; was prob. Town
Clerk of Richmond from June 4, 1751, to August
28, 1754, and of Hopkinton from April 4, 1757, to
April, 1760. One of this name was living in
Hopkinton, 1774.
V. Benjamin, Jr.,3 born about 1701, married July 10,
1729, Elizabeth Hazard. He was a freeman of
the colony from South Kingstown, May 6, 1735. He
lived in Richmond, R. I.
Sometime in the future I will scan and ocr the complete genealogy along
with some other
interesting historical and genealogical information and place it in the
Rhode Island archives.
