Does anyone have information on a certain Washington Perry?

December 9th, 2009 1 comment

He lived in Owen County Ky and was probably alive in the year 1832. He also was most likely a slave owner, and owned property outside the town currently known as Perry Park. Does any one have any records on him, his wife’s name, any children they had and a possible number of slaves they owned. I would also appreciate birth and death dates. Thank you for all your help!

Henry County, KY is located west of Owen County, so this MIGHT be who you are looking for: http://www.ancestry.com
