Question

Answer 1

There are a few things that would be useful to trace them, such as approximate date of birth and country, city and or couinty for each person. Also, would you know what year they married and what country, county and or city?

Answer 2

From which child of THOMAS and MATILDA do you descend?

The information below was found on the Ancestry.com website - Census records, marriage records, etc.

THOMAS D PERRY was born about 1833 in North Carolina and died between the 1870 and 1880 Nag's Head, Dare Co., North Carolina Census.

THOMAS D PERRY married MATILDA CRANK on July 24, 1858 in Currituck Co., North Carolina.

MATILDA CRANK was born about 1837 in North Carolina (probably Currituck County) and died sometime after the 1880 Nag's Head, Dare Co., North Carolina Census.

THOMAS and MATILDA's children:

1.  WALTER J PERRY, born about 1860 in North Carolina

2.  JOHN CRANK PERRY, born July 10, 1865 in Colington, North Carolina and died May 1, 1930 in Nags Head, Dare Co., North Carolina.

3.  ZACHARIAH PERRY, born about 1866 in North Carolina.

4.  SILVESTER PERRY, born 1871, died Dec 2, 1895.

5.  ZENOVIE PERRY (female), born about 1873.

Other family researchers state that the parents of MATILDA CRANK are JOHN CRANK, born Jan 5, 1810, died April 14, 1850 in Currituck; and DORCASS, born Oct. 3, 1816, died Aug 5, 1891.

I hope this helps you in your search!  Sincerely, Melinda
