PERRY.
Among the early emigrants from England to Massachusetts there were at least three by the name of Perry, apparently representing as many different families. One of the number,

5 DAVID' PERRY, b: Apr. 22, 1752 ; d. Sept. 20, 1776, in the Revolutionary War, at Fort Independence, N. Y .. of dysentery. It is the family account that he was drafted into the service, but as no public rec. have been found of any draft, it was probably a local arrangement, agreed upon as being the most satisfactory way of de- ciding who should go. He was of large and powerful frame, tradition stating that he was the strongest man in his regiment. He was m. Aug. 19, 1773, at Framing- ham, Mass., by Rev. Elijah Brown, to Sarah Fisher, of Fram. (After the d. of Mr. Perry the wid. m. Francis Fullam, q.v.) Mr. P. came to F. soon after his m. and settled on L 2 R 7, which he bought of Stephen Cole. As the deed is dated June 1, 1772, it is prob. that he had been in F. before m., though in the rec. of the m. in Fram. he is called of Sherborn.
