Question:

Please Help!!!?

I am looking for any information on the parents of William Thomas Perry
(aka: W T Perry) who lived in Woodville ( Haywood County ), Tennessee around
1865 to 1905. He was born in 1845 in North Carolina . He was a prominent
businessman, owned the "WT Perry Dry Goods Store" in Woodville , Tenn. He
married Alice Jane McAlpin b.1857 (also spelled McColpin) on 12/27/1879 , in
Haywood Co., Tennessee . They had five children: Edward Gordon Perry, William McAlpin Perry, Harriet (Hattie) Perry, Lee Perry & Amy Perry. The family moved to El Paso , Texas around 1905. He died in El Paso on August 24, 1910 .

William Thomas Perry's mother's maiden name might be Winfield and he may have come to Tennessee from around Ashville , North Carolina . I also believe he had seven sisters and no brothers.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: These are the only people named Perry b. 1840 - 1850 living in Haywood County in the census index for 1870.

He is there in 1880, but his parents aren't with him.

There are 56 William Perrys in NC in 1860.
