Ira Perry whose children and grand children are given above, lived near the spot
where his father settled in northern Charlestown, NH on a farm consisting of abt
four hundred acres and was regarded as one of the best farmers and stock
raisers in NH.  He had often taken premiums at the Agricultural Fairs and at the last New
England Fair held at Manchester, NH (1875)  His oxen were so notably superior
that they took the first premiums over all others which had been brought there
from six New England States.
