The significant parts of this document from a genealogical viewpoint, are the names of Benjamin and James Perry, the date of the document, the counties of Nash and Franklin in North Carolina. This James, who was a witness to the document signing, could possibly have been the older brother of Benjamin Perry, but not for certain. Assuming this James is indeed the brother of Benjamin Perry, he would have been 44 years of age. Benjamin would have been 26 years of age, at this event. Benjamin was born in 1764, and James was born in 1746.
