Nicholas Perry

• Last Edited: 15 Nov 2010

• Biography*: Nicholas Perry was a prominent landowner in Pike or Meriwether County, GA. My suspicion is that he might descend from the Perry family of London and Virginia. A book was written about them, "Perry of London, A Family and A Firm on the Seaborne Frontier, 1615 - 1753," by Jacob M. Price. It is a history, rather than a genealogy, but does mention some genealogy as well. So this might be an interesting line for someone to trace.

  One source of your Nicholas Perry might be from the Nicholas Perry who left a Rev Pension Appl. He was son of Nicholas Perry and Mourning Spier, who was eldest son of John Perry b c1690 VA d1760 Bertie. This Nicholas Perry b Hertford co, NC went to Wake Co, md 1. Rachel Scott 2. Elizabeth Ward. He left numerous offspring, few of whom I have tried to trace. He moved with some of his children to TN where he died and left a will. I would look among his children or grandchildren for your Nicholas who went to GA²
