Perry Researchers

I've been in touch with more people researching my Perry clan than any other line. It's been a lot of fun getting acquainted with cousins I didn't even know I had, and we've exchanged a lot of interesting family history information. Some are no longer living, and we've lost touch with others.

I'll list our names below. If I've left you off, or misspelled your name, or you'd rather not be on this list, please let me know. Please visit our researchers index to find e-mail addresses of anybody mentioned here.

Each of us is descended from John Perry (1802-1889) and Mary Ann Smith (1810-1880) via the persons listed from left to right above. I'll mention another researcher who has been very helpful, but doesn't quite fit into the pattern of Perry descendants just listed -- Scott Ferris, who is researching the Johnson family and has extensive information on Frank Johnson's ancestors and descendants.

We've also been in touch with the following Perry researchers:

• The late Kelly Marshall, who wasn't descended from a Perry, but rather from a brother of Phebe (Perry) Marshall's husband. He lived just across the Ohio line from Venango county and was very helpful with our research there.
• Sue (McGough) Veale, who is one of Phebe's direct descendants. That's her with Kelly in the photo below:
• Mary Pierotti, who says her husband is descended from an Eliza Perry who married George Kelse Monjar of Irwin Township, Venango county, PA, on 4 Jun 1835. We aren't quite sure where Eliza fits in with the other Perrys of that area, but know she must have been related to Moses Perry's family somehow.
  
• Grace (Perry) and George Teslik, who appear in the photo on the right below. That's Grace with Laura Bush (no relation) on the left. Grace's ties to the Perry family go even farther back, as she is descended from Moses' brother Thomas via Thomas' son (Grace's g-g-grandfather), Thomas McClintock Perry, who was born in Scrubgrass township, Venango county, on 4 Apr 1829.
