My ancestor, Diman Perry, moved to Maine after the Revolutionary War. In 1800, he was married for the second time and most of his children were grown and presumably self-supporting. However, I found this notice on the Genealogy Bank web site. Diman, Jr. was not quite 19 years old and seems to have gotten himself into a bit of money trouble. Because they shared a name, I'm sure Diman, Sr. wanted to distance himself from his son's financial issues. I find the words "harbour" and "trust" particularly interesting and wonder what debts young Diman had accrued and if he had an issue with telling the truth.

Hi cuz. I descend from Dimon through Gad (1788-1865) and Lebbeus (1818-1890) --- I think???
ReplyDeleteI am looking for Perry descendants who have DNA tested or are thinking of doing so. The reason for this is that I have conflicting information about the identity of my grandfather's mother. She may be a Perry or a Thurlow. I have started a autosonal FamilyTree DNA project titled "Perry-Thurlow_Maine" and would welcome anyone with Maine Perry (or Thurlow) genes to join and help me out.
I am pretty fussy about posting my personal e-mail in public places. I am leaving this comment using a friends account. If anyone wants to contact me, use the following e-mail (or join the project and use the project mail system) and my friend will get back to you with my personal e-mail address. I also have a tree at Ancestry that I will share a link to with any descendants.
