THIRTEENTH GENERATION

4768. unknown Perry (M)

4769. unknown (F)

REF: http://www.familysearch.org/Search/af/family_group_record.asp?familyid=4828869


In 1654, (4769ix) Edward/ Edmund Perry was fined for conduct unacceptable to the established church... Edward Perry was one of many colonists whose religious beliefs differed from the majority view. About 1657, he joined the newly formed Society of Friends. Regularly throughout the years his name appeared in the court records. In 1658, 1659, and 1660 he and other Quakers were fined for refusing the oath of fidelity. In 1659 he was fined for "using threatning speeches" to the marshall. In 1663 he was called to account for a "rayling letter which hee wrote to the Court". Nevertheless, he was respected enough to be appointed to share in community duties. In 1671 he and his son (2384) Ezra Perry Sr. were to view the damage done to the Indians by the "Horses and Hoggs of the English" and he and James Skiffe were appointed to "have inspection of the ordinaries".

Reportedly, (4769ix) "Edward" was the clerk of the Sandwich meeting of Friends from 1672 to 1694. One historian states that Edward was the author of several tracts setting forth the Quaker philosophy. This claim has not yet been substantiated.

There seems to be considerable doubt/ disagreement concerning the existence of an (4768?) Edmund and the relationship of the others listed above to him and to one another. One comment in GenForum reads:

"Posted by: Bill Wright wmewright@hal-pc.org Date: March 31, 2003 at 08:34:02 ...

Edmund and (4769) Sarah are often listed as the parents of a flock of Perrys in Sandwich and nearby colonies. I have tried unsuccessfully to find the source of Edmund's name. A genealogist at the NEHGS suggested to me that it could be a corrupted spelling for Edward. (4769ix?) Edward is one of Edmund's supposed sons and my ancestor.

Sarah is mentioned in the Plymouth Colony Court Records. A genealogy published in NEHGR 115:86 [o]n the descendants of (2384) Ezra presents a strong argument that Sarah was Ezra's step-mother and that she did not have any other "close" relative in New England...."

-- http://genforum.genealogy.com/perry/messages/10931.html

"Of Ezra's appointment as executor of Sarah Perry's estate, Brownson says this: "Most printed accounts appear to base their claim that Ezra Perry and his 'brother, Edward Perry the Quaker, were sons of the widow Sarah Perry of Devonshire, England' on this statement. But the wording of the record makes it clear that neither Ezra nor any of the other Perrys in Sandwich were closely related by blood to the deceased widow Sarah. There is, however, an implication that Ezra Perry had some claim on the estate (perhaps for himself, possibly on behalf of others also), perhaps based on right to a dower residue of the estate of a step-mother. It could be argued that the Perry family group came to Sandwich with a widowed step-mother in order to live under the protection of some one of the pioneer Sandwich families to whom the widow's husband and/or these minor children may have been closely related. Such a suggestion is, however, sheer conjecture."

My own comments: I agree that much needs to be proven in this line; but it seems obvious that the Sandwich Perrys above are all related, and probably siblings.

He was of the chief men, rep. 1646 and after; d. 27 Feb. 1685, presum. to be 82 yrs. old. His d. (2385) Elizabeth m. 12 Feb. 1652, (2384) Ezra Perry."

-- James Savage, op. cit.

4771. Dorothy unknown (see notes)

"A Thomas Burgess did marry Dorothy Waynes, but Paul Burgess, who will probably also reply to you, hired a British genealogist to trace this marriage record and the couple had no children. We know Dorothy Burgess was not a Waynes. While I was in Cornwall I traced all of the children of the Rev. George Phippen (all of the records still exist) and found he had no daughter named Dorothy. The origin of this name as her maiden name comes from the fact that Thomas Burgess of Truro (widely believed to be Thomas of Sandwich MA's father) calls George Phippen his "brother-in-law" in his will. Records show he was his brother-in-law, but that was because George Phippen married, as his second wife, Thomas Burgess's wife's sister. Thomas's wife was Elizabeth Pye. We know Dorothy Burgess was not a Phippen..."

"WILL OF [4770] THOMAS BURGESS.

'The orthography slightly amended. I, Thomas Burgess, Senr., of Sandwich, being through God's goodness full of years, and waiting for my change, and yet having my understanding remaining with me,--blessed be God,--and also through God's great goodness being possessed of a competent outward estate, do now on serious consideration make this my last Will and Testament, touching the disposal of my estate after my dear wife and myself be decently buried, and all necessary charges defrayed, and all debts paid, the remaining part I give as followeth:

'Item. I give unto my eldest son, Thomas Burgess, of Rhode Island, five pounds out of my movable estate, to be paid by my executors after our decease.

'Item. I give unto my son, Jacob Burgess, upon good consideration, all my house-lot, dwelling-house, barn and out-houses, all my upland on both sides of the cartway, all that belongs to my homestead dwelling. I also give him all my meadow that I have lying below Michael Blackwell's dwelling-house on both sides of Scussett river, for him my said son Jacob Burgess to enjoy, use and possess during his natural life; and after his decease I give the said dwelling-house, barn and all the forementioned lands, both upland and meadow, to his son Thomas Burgess, my grandson, to him and his heirs forever. But if my said grandson die without heirs, then my will is that the said house and lands above-mentioned shall return to the next heir of my son, Jacob Burgess. I give also to my said son, Jacob Burgess, all my land lying near and adjacent to Thomas Tupper's lands below the cartway, having Mr. Freeman's land on the western side. These I give to him upon this condition, that he, my said son Jacob Burgess, pay or cause to be paid unto my grandson Thomas Burgess, son of my son John Burgess, ten pounds in good pay, to be made to him my grandson, at twenty-three years of age.

'Item. I give unto my son, Joseph Burgess, the first and second lots that adjoin his other lands near his house, if my said son accept of them so as to pay unto my son, John Burgess, five pounds; but if my son Joseph refuse said lands upon such terms, as to pay said five pounds as aforesaid, then my will is that said land return to my son, Ezra Perry, and that he perform the condition,--I mean by two lots, those lots that were once * * *; then I give them: I give to my said son, Ezra Perry, all my other lands that lie above the said two lots, for him to enjoy forever, the which lands I bought of Mr. Edward Freeman, Jr.

'Item. I give to my dear wife all my movable estate, to be at her own disposing at her decease. I mean chattels of all sorts that I may have.

'And I do appoint and ordain my son, Ezra Perry, and my son, Jacob Burgess, to be my Executors to see this my last Will performed, as I witness under my hand and seal, this fourth day of April, 1684.

'THOMAS BURGESS.

In Reply to: Edmond Freeman and John Freeman by Debbie Carder Beach

"POPE's 'Pioneers of MA' says that Mr. Samuel FREEMAN, Gent., married at St. Anne's, Blackfriars, London, 14 July 1624, Apphia QUICK, {perhaps as a third wife, having divorced his second wife}. [Marriage to Apphia is also in 'New England Marriages' by TORREY].

"Are these statements factual? He was from Mawlin, Kent. He had a deed for English property, 22 July 1640.

"Researchers disagree. He must have been the one whose house at Watertown, MA, burned 11 Feb. 1630/1. VIRKUS says Samuel FREEMAN came from England in WINTHROP's Fleet, arr. 12 Je. 1630, Salem, MA. He returned to England on business {in 1639?} and soon died there, leaving his family in Massachusetts. Samuel's son Henry (ca. 1625 - 12 N 1672) gave power of attorney, 12 of tenth month 1646, for collection of a legacy from his grandmother Priscilla FREEMAN, decd., of Blackfriars, London. Other researchers say that instead of son Henry claiming his grandmother's estate, that Samuel went back in 1646 to settle his mother's estate and died then. I believe the version that he died in 1639 is correct, and that the son claimed the estate in England.

"Apphia, who probably d. 1666, m2, probably shortly after 16 Oct. 1646, as third wf/o Thomas PRENCE (1600-1673) [per TORREY]. Fredk. FREEMAN's 'Freeman Genealogy' says that Gov. PRENCE deeded 20 Jan. 1671 to son-in-law Samuel FREEMAN, per Old Colony Records 3:201-202. This must be the Samuel b. 11 May 1638, Watertown.

Samuel Freeman had no known relationship to the Sandwich, MA Freeman; neither have I found any relationship between Apphia Quick nor Precilla Angell with others of their surnames in my family.

"'Memorial : Genealogical, Historical, & Biographical, of Solomon Leonard'... states that (4776) Samuel, a dissenter, migrated to Leyden, Holland... from the environs of the town of Bristol in Monmouthshire, England.

"'He ((2388) Solomon) seems to have emigrated first to Leyden in Holland, probably with his father whose name it is believed was Samuel. There is some probability that they came to this country together-- if so, the father must have died soon after.'
