The Perry family which would merge with our branch of the Van Overs emigrated from Scotland, arriving in New York on 9 July, 1855 aboard the “Constellation” out of Christiansand Copenhagen. William Perry was a blacksmith. Along with his wife, Elizabeth (Beck), and 5 children, Agnes, James, Elizabeth, William and Isabel, he settled in Peoria, IL. There their other two children were born, Andrew and Mary. (They also had two children, another Andrew and Mary, who died before their emigration.)
On Ancestry they are recorded in the 1841 census as William Perise aged 25 years with wife Elizabeth aged 20 years and daughter Agnes 1 year living in Wigtownshire.
In 1851 they are down as Willm Peerie, wife Elizh and five of a family living in Whithorn. William was a Blacksmith.

She is buried in the family cemetery in Whatcom. Washington, which I believe tells us she made the trek with the family circa 1861-1880.
So is there a source that proves they had 2 children: Andrew & Mary who where born in Scotland, died there and then the parents had 2 other children, and named the 2 new babies the same as the 2 that had died? It has happened...
