He married (2nd) in Gaines Twp., on 11 Oct. 1861, ALVIRA HARRINGTON^[4], who was born circa 1841.
OCCUPATION: farmer
Mariner-1861 Census-Vienna, Elgin, Ontario
Sailor-Death record
CAUSE OF DEATH: Cancer (from death record)
Birthplace: Perry's death record lists his place of birth as Canada. However, in the 1861 Census of Vienna, Elgin, Ontario, his birthplace is shown as as US. Since the former must have been given by someone else, and was recorded much later, we take the latter as being more correct.
Religion:1861 Census- family was Baptist
1861 Census-Vienna, Elgin, Ontario
Since Eliza appears in the 1861 census, and Perry remarried in Michigan later that year, she probably died in mid 1861.
