Notes for George Perry

This is interesting. My name is Wiliiam Hugh and I was named for two of my g-grandfather's brothers. My line is: Joseph (1888-1982), Joseph (1850-1915), Joseph (1824-1915), George (1802-1886). William and Hugh were brothers of Joseph (1824 ) and sons of George (1802) who had 7 sons and 1 daughter. George was born in Castleblaney, County Armagh. This place is now in Monaghan so either the county line has been changed or George was born NEAR Castleblaney but on the Armagh side of the county line. Joseph (1824) was married in a Presbyterian Church in Creggan Parish. In this record the name is spelled 'Peery' and we have found it as both 'Perry' and 'Peery' in other Irish records.
When George Perry and his wife Agnes came from Ireland to New York they apparently left their eldest son, Joseph (1824), in Ireland probably with grandparents. He came to New York in the early 1850's after his marriage. Joseph (1850) claimed to have been born in New York but we can find no record and the 1860 census says he was born in Ireland. We believe he was born in Ireland. His older sister was born in Ireland and younger sisters were born in New York.
We probably come from the same family of Perrys back in Ireland.
Good luck with your research.
