This is the family bible of William and Martha Marshall Perry of Franklin
County, North Carolina. It is believed they married around 1745 from the
recorded dates of the birth of their first child.

There were five pages of hand written information about the births of their
children and descendants. 


Additional Comments:
We had our first online Perry Family Reunion in Austin, Texas on March 11th and
12th, 2005. There were sixty plus family members in attendance from the families
of Willaim and Martha Perry, John and Sarah Ferrel Perry's children. Represented
were the families of Britton Perry and Mary Dennis Perry, Bolling Houston Perry
and Elizabeth Ferguson Perry, Benjamin Perry and Eliza Kimbrough/Kimbro Perry.
We also had members from William and Martha Perry's son, Benjamin Perry who was
born in 1764, and Francis Perry who was a brother to our William Perry, also,
the James Perry Family.

On Friday, March 11th at 7:00 P.M. we had a STORY TELLING session which was most
enjoyable. Again, on Saturday, March 12th at 2:00 P.M. we had STORY TELLING
which gave us a great insight into the lives of our ancestors and current day
cousins. Steve Watson, who many of you know is an avid researcher spoke to us on
his theory of the parents of our William Perry. Later at 6:30 P.M. we had a
Dinner Banquet with John D. Apperson telling us about William and Martha Perry,
The travels of John and Sarah Ferrel Perry coming from North Carolina through
Georgia and on into Perry County, Alabama in 1819. He also told of his great
grandfather, Oliver Hazard Perry and his wife Lucy Allen Glenn, and his
grandfather, William Oliver Perry and his wife Lillie Hamilton McGee. Norman
Perry told of the lives of William and Martha Perry's son Benjamin Perry. Next
was Polly Perry Logan telling her story of John and Sarah Ferrel's son Benjamin
Perry and his wife Eiza Kimbro coming into Alabama, and then removing to Texas
around 1849. I would say this was a very sucessful and fun event for our 
family.
