     I'm tracking three separate PERRY families whose paths crossed
in Washington County, Ohio, in the 19th century:
  
  -  Thomas PERRY m. Catharine FISHER (my direct line)
  -  Isaac PERRY m. Mary ARMSTRONG (friends, neighbors, and
possibly relations of the Thomas PERRY family)
  -  Edmund PERRY m1 Levi Prudence MELLOR, m2 Anna TAYLOR (rather
more distant neighbors of the Thomas PERRY family; Edmund's
daughter Matilda married Thomas' son Thomas "Jr.")
  
     Thomas PERRY was born in 1754 or 56 in Sussex County, NJ;
parents unknown.  Places lived include Sussex County (probably
Vernon Township); present-day Shoemakersville, Berks County, PA,
1777-83; Northumberland County, PA, 1783-1802 (place unknown but
I believe somewhere near Lock Haven in present-day Clinton
County); eastern Ohio, probably Columbiana County, 1802-25; and
present-day Palmer Township, Washington County, OH, 1825-42. 
Thomas served in the Revolutionary War in both the New Jersey
militia and the Pennsylvania Line.  He probably married Catharine
FISHER (parents also unknown) in Northumberland County; their 10
children were born in Pennsylvania and Ohio.  Children were:
  
     John m. Abigail PATTERSON (my 3rd great-grandparents)
     James m. Elizabeth ?ANDERSON
     Mary "Polly" m. William CORN(E)S
     Elizabeth m. James HUNTER
     Margaret m. William HU(E)STON
     Nancy m. Joseph PERRY (I don't know who his family was, yet)
     Thomas m. Matilda PERRY (daughter of Edmund PERRY)
     Sarah m. William NOLAND
     Rebecca m. George HILDEBRAND
     Susan(nah) m. William HICKMAN
   
     Isaac PERRY (parents unknown) was born in 1795 in
Pennsylvania, probably near Lock Haven.  He moved to Washington
County, OH, in 1829 from present-day West Keating Township,
Clinton County, PA (then part of Lycoming County).  In Ohio, he
lived near Thomas PERRY and was named as one of two executors in
Thomas' will, written in 1838.  Isaac's wife, Mary ARMSTRONG, was
"of" Lock Haven.  Their known children were:
  
     James B. m. Esther HUSTON
     Isabel m. ?Joseph BUSEY
     Margaret B. m. --- ARMSTRONG
     Mary Ann (never married)
     Lewis (died young)
     Sarah Ann or Amanda m. Doctor Vincent SMITH
     Hiel Armstrong (a.k.a. Armstrong or A.H.) m. Betsey ---
  
     I have less information on the Edmund (or Edmond) PERRY
family.  Edmund purchased land in both Washington and Athens
Counties, Ohio, in the early 19th century, and in later years
granted land to the university in the town of Athens.  The first
deed in which he was named as grantee was dated 1796, at which
time he may have been a minor; the grantor, Joseph JENKS, "late of
state of New York now resident of Marietta Gentleman," described
him as "my little worthy friend Edmund PERRY the son of Sarah
PERRY widow of Waterford."  Edmund's children were:

     Mary m. Robert I. DANLEY
  (by Anna TAYLOR)
     Matilda m. Thomas PERRY, Jr. (son of Thomas)
     Ellen
     Edmund, Jr., m. Margaret GOPETE
     Ellery C. m. Sarah LEGORE
     Oliver Hazard m. Phoebe Jane BROADWELL
     Walter
     Isaac
     Lucy J.
     Martha
     William
   
     If these names match anything you have, I'll be happy--no,
ecstatic!--to exchange further information.  If not, please feel
free to add them to your database for future reference.  Again,
thank you for your offer to share ... Sue Budlong, 6421 Maplewood
