Hi Brian, Yes, Daniels father was Pos Perry. Mother name? Born before 1694. Daniel was theonly child of Pos Perry. Pos was from Ireland, England. Pos hadbrothers I think, It gets confusing here! James and posibly Joseph.James Perry b. 1675 d. 1756 in Leitersburg, maryland. Father was Joseph Perry and mother was Isabella Charlton, He married Ann Perry( his cousin). James and AnnHad 6 kids, Swift, John, Adam, Joseph, Jane,Martha.Joseph Perrymarried Isabella Charlton, in 1742 and he died in 1785, in Washington Co. Maryland. Joseph and Isabella had 6 kids Martha,Jane, Isabella, Ann Perry Perry, Alice Perry Charlton, Eleanor PerryPerry, 3 married thier 1st or 2nd cousins. he was in the war between the states of Pennsylvania and Maryland, in 1730's.He left most of his estate to the Episcopal church, in Lietersburg, MD. We dont know when he arrived in the New World but it is evidant that he was here and connected to the Charlton family by 1737. Josephs brother-inlaw, Thomas Charlton, was one of the leaders of the Maryland faction.Joseph is also mentionedin the accounts of the conflict and he signed ( and possibly wrote) a petition military aid.joseph and his friends lost their bid to claim land in Pennsylvania under Maryland charters so they moved west.He and the Charltons settled near present day Hagerstown, MD. in a place called leitersburg.We hear little from him untill he buys property that he called "Perry's Retirement" in 1756 ( the same year his father James Perry died.)Joseph was very much involved in the patriot cause during the Revolutionary War.At about this time, 1777, he wrote his will.Joseph had six daughters and no sons.Two of the daughters never married. one married a McCoy and had a son named Perry McCoy who settled in western PA. The other three married cousins.Ann Perry married Swift Perrry Jr., the grandson of James Perry ,Alice married of her Charlton cousins and Eleanor married Daniel Perry.
