From: "Tom Whanger" Date: Sunday, June 01, 2003 12:04 PM My wife's ancestor William Perry (Peery?) is said to have come from Tazewell County Virginia after 1830 with his wife and then 10 children. He is said to have won a contract for the stone work of the local jail at Crab Orchard Kentucky. His wife (name not known) had a child there March 24 1837. James H (Hinkle) Perry. They moved to Illinois soon after. Might there be any records in Lincoln County that I could search for evidence to confirm or refute this story? Any help or suggestion would be appreciated.
