was commissioned captain of a military com- pany in 1664 at Portsmouth, and in 1668 was appointed major at Saco (he settled Black Point), and at the same time was directed to assist in keeping court at York. In 1663, when New Hampshire was a royal province, it was governed by a president and eight councillors appointed by King Charles II, and Brian Pen- dleton was one of the councillors. In 1672 he was relieved of military duty and his regi- ment was placed under command of Major John Leavett. He was commissioner of York county in 1675-76. On June 12, 1676, he pur- chased seven hundred acres of land in West- erly, Rhode Island, from John Paine, of Bos- ton, and gave to his son James a life interest in the estate.
Brian Pendleton was possessed of a large estate, probably larger than that of any other man in Portsmouth. A description of him, probably written by Edward Randolph, was as follows: "Major Brian Pendleton, a man of Saco river, of great estate, but very precise, independent, beloved by all his fraternity, being an enemy to both the king's interest and to Mr. George's interest, also a great ring leader of others to the interest of his power." He was recruited in the Ancient and Honorable Ar- tillery in 1646.

PERRY Though the Perry family were settled in the southern half of England, chiefly in Somerset, Cornwall, Gloucester and Essex counties, it is thought by some that they were of Welsh origin. The Hon. Amos Perry, of the Rhode Island Historical Society, and for many years its librarian, was strongly inclined to this opinion. Among the Welsh names appears Ap Harry (or son of Harry), which later became Parry and was soon corrupted to Perry. On early record in England and America it was written: Pury, Pary, Perrie and Parrie, but Perry has since been uni- versally adopted.
(I) John Perry, the American ancestor of this family, was born in England and came to this country 1631, it is said, with Rev.
John Eliot, who (in a letter called him "cousin"), and settled in Roxbury, Massachu- setts, where he was made freeman, March 4, 1633. Was a member of Eliot's church and died in Roxbury, September 21, 1642, where he was buried. He left a widow Ann and three children: Elizabeth, born January 25, 1637-38; John, September 7, 1639; Samuel, March 1, 1640-41.
(II) John (2), eldest son of John (1) and Ann Perry, was born in Roxbury, Septem- ber 7, 1639. He married, March 23, 1665, Bethia, daughter of Daniel Morse, of .Sher- born, Massachusetts. John (2) removed to Medfield before 1665 and thence to Sherborn, 1674, where he died May 4, 1713. His wife born March 24, 1648, died also at Sherborn, June 3, 1717. They had seven children : John, born 1667, married, 1691, Sarah Hill; Samuel, 1674, married Joanna Lovet, and Joseph, his twin brother, married Martha, sister of Joanna Lovet; Nathaniel, died 1756, married Abigail Mason; Bethia; Mary; and Eleazar, married Mary Holbrook.
(III) Nathaniel, third son of John (2) and Bethiah (Morse) Perry, was born at Sherborn. and died September 7, 1756. He married Abi- gail Mason, who died March 15, 1728. They had three children (and perhaps others) : Abigail, born 1715, married Joseph Whitney; Nathaniel, 1717, and Moses, July 28, 1719.
(III) Eleazar, fourth son of John (2) and Bethiah (Morse) Perry, was born at Sher- born, June 1, 1680, and married, June 19, 1705, Mary Holbrook. They had a son, Eleazar (2), born June 2, 1706, but no others recorded. There seems to be no definite rec- ord of the parentage of Ephraim, but of the Sherborn Perrys Nathaniel and Eleazar are the only ones likely to have been his father, and possibly the fact of Eleazar's marriage with a Holbrook-the same being the name of Eph- raim's wife-is an indication that Eleazar was father of Ephraim.
(IV) Ephraim, son of Eleazar and Mary (Holbrook) Perry, was born in Sherborn about 1720. According to the records, he married (first) in 1742, Hannah Holbrook, born September II, 1720, died June 27, 1744. He married (second) Mary Babcock. They had four sons: Ebenezer, born March 27, 1746; Jesse, October 22, 1747; John, October 30, 1749; Jonathan, December 7, 175I.
(V) John, third son of Ephraim and Mary . (Babcock) Perry, was born in Sherborn, Oc- tober 30, 1749. About 1764 he moved to Fox Island, Maine (now Vinalhaven). The names of John and William Perry are signed (with

others) to the petition dated 1785, appealing to the commonwealth of Massachusetts for protection of their property at Fox Island which they had occupied and cultivated "for about twenty years." John settled first on what is now Crabtrees Point and also took up a lot between Perry's Creek and Seal Cove on South Island. About 1779 he was living on South Island and cultivating a small patch of land, and was one of the sufferers from foragers during the occupancy of Castine by the British. One day "a party of fifteen," it is said, visited his cornfield and began to help themselves, when he secured his gun and shot down two of them and then fled to the grounds, hiding in the hollow of a tree for forty-eight hours, till the danger was passed. This old English flint-lock gun is still pre- served by descendants. At another time he was picking up birds near the river and some British ordered him to come ashore, which he agreed when he "had gathered all the birds." Watching his opportunity while they waited, he paddled off in the opposite direc- tion, escaping the shower of bullets that fol- lowed him. Several times after, though the British strove in vain to capture him, he man- aged his escape. During the war of the revo- lution he was commissioned captain of the boat "Fly" by the governor of Massachusetts, to operate against the enemy in Fox Island and vicinity. In the war of 1812, Captain Perry moved to Rockland, Maine. He died in 1842, aged ninety-three years, and was buried on his farm at Northport, though in his old age he had lived in Vinalhaven. He was twice married. The first wife was Miss Woster, and the second "widow Perry." The David Woster who came from England about 1744 (and was born 1732) settled at Vinalhaven in 1762. He was doubtless the father of John Perry's first wife. Their children numbered thirteen, among whom those of Thomaston were: Captain Eph- raim, born 1788; Captain Robert, mar- ried, August 11, 1821, Dolly Spear and (sec- ond) Mellicent Eaton, September 2, 1827. He died of fever, New York City, January 31, 1851; Lucy, married Captain Benjamin Thom- as. She died February 23, 1851.
(VI) Captain Ephraim, eldest son of John and (Woster) Perry, was born at Vinalhaven in 1788. He married, November 10, 1814, Nancy, daughter of John and Re- becca (Blackington) Crockett, and sister of Hon. Knott Crockett. She was born Decem- ber 10, 1789, and died December 22, 1861. Captain Perry was a master mariner and ship
owner and spent his life at sea. Children of Captain Ephraim and Nancy Perry : Angelia M., born March 30, 1815, married Joseph Tur- bish, of Rockland, and died November 4, 1851 ; Sophia C., May 10, 1817; Knott Crockett (Captain), April 27, 1820, married, Septem- ber 18, 1843, Deborah L. Grant; Ephraim M., February 2, 1823, died January 17, 1862; John J., January 25, 1826; Oliver A., died April 9, 1829.
(VII) John Jarvis, third son of Captain Ephraim and Nancy (Crockett) Perry, was born in Rockland, Maine, January 25, 1826, and was educated at the schools in Rockland. He first started business with his uncle, Hon. Knott Crockett, who was the first mayor of Rockland, and at his death he succeeded him in the shipping business and general merchan- dise, also in the manufacture of lime. He built the second (known as the patent) lime kiln erected in the state of Maine. He mar- ried, August 4, 1852, Mary Frances, daughter of Orin and Mary Wealthy Cowl. Their chil- dren were: Jarvis C., treasurer of the Se- curity Trust Company, Rockland, Maine ; Orin Francis and Benjamin Cowl.
(VIII) Orin Francis, second son of John Jarvis and Mary F. (Cowl) Perry, was born at Rockland, Maine, October 10, 1858. At nineteen years of age he went to sea and con- tinued five years, becoming a master mariner. In 1880 he began the manufacture of lime at Rockland, with his brothers, and has been en- gaged in that business until the present time. In 1901 he sold out to the Rockland Rock Port Lime Company and was retained by them as the New York manager and later was ap- pointed general manager of the entire business. He is a member of the Building Material Ex- change and its former president; member of the Building Trades Employers' Association ; member of the Maine Society of New York. He is a Congregationalist in religion, and a staunch Republican in politics. He served in both branches of the city legislature of Rock- land with credit to himself and satisfaction to his constituents. He married, April 7, 1887, Marie A., daughter of Captain E. R. Nash, of Rockland. Children: Anna Louise, Grace Adelaide, Nettie Frances, Orin F. and Gladys.
Andrew Greely, immigrant an- GREELY cestor, was born about 1617, and died at Salisbury, Massa- chusetts, June 30, 1697. His name appears on the Salisbury records first in 1640, but he was probably settled there some time before that date. He was a miller, and settled on the
