JESSE PERRY



   Jesse Perry applied for revolutionary pension while living in Knox County. He

was born March 15, 1755 in Granville County, N. C. While a resident of Fairfield

District, S. C., he enlisted and served in the South Carolna troops three months

in Capt. William Lang's Company, Col. Robert Goodwin's Regiment-this service was

in the "Snow Campaign;" three months in Capt. John Smith's Company, Col. Robert

Goodwin's Regiment, during which service he was on an expedition to capture the

Tory Colonel Fletchell; three months in Capt. John Taylor's Company, Col. Joseph

Kirkland's Regiment; three months in Capt. James Craig's Company, Col. Henry

Hunter's Regiment; three months in 1781 in Capt James Craig's Company, Col.

Thomas Taylor's Regiment; and one year in Capt. John Cook's Company, Col. Arthur

Middleton's Regiment; udring which time he was active against the Tories and was

in a skirmish at Juniper Springs. A short time after this service while he was

at home he was taken prisoner by a company of Tories under Col. Thompson and was

taken by them to Camden and was later released on parole. After his release by

the enemy he went about twenty miles above King's Mountain where he remained

with friends until the termination of the War. He resided in Fairfield District,

S. C., until the year 1806 when he moved to Duck River, Tennessee, and remained

there until 1812. He then moved to Knox County, Tenn. He applied for pension

August 18, 1832. In his application he states that at the time he volunteered

for the year's service he moved his wife to the home of his mother three miles

distant. In 1832 he refers to a brother-in-law but gives no family names.
