It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Henry by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA. However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line. It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Henry:

I posted a media of Henry Perrine's headstone, It looks to me that his birthdate was 1669. If this is incorrect I will remove it.
Please correct the death date. The other two dates make him exceptionally old, and both are sourced to (essentially) the contributors' personal knowledge, which is not a reliable basis for events in the 1700s. Those dates can be removed from the bio, too.
The photo you posted in a PDF is from Findagrave. Have you requested the photographer's permission to post it (or do they say on the FG website that it's OK to republish their photos)? Assuming proper permission, the best way to share photos here is to upload a jpg format, which displays the photo on the profile page. And instead of uploading the file separately to every page where it is relevant, post the image once and add all of the profile IDs to the image page.
Further, now that the World Cup final is over ;-)....
The 1669 date has been on the profile since it was created. It's marked uncertain, which is appropriate, and I see no reason to change it.
I don't think I would call that photographed cemetery stone a "gravestone." It's a memorial stone of some sort, installed in 1927, probably as a replacement for one or more other stones that may have been true gravestones. The fact that the installer inscribed it with the date of installation gives me some confidence that they were trying to do a responsible job recording the names and dates. The description in the profile text seems appropriate, but it could be expanded to indicate the installation date.
Perrin-26 and Perrine-279 appear to represent the same person because: Sure match!
