Would very much like to correspond with descendants of this family.Rachel Ray Perry m/2 another widow, Robert Buckler in 1809 in Washington County.Her first husband, John Perry's estate was first administered by her brother-in-law, Henry Holland (who married her sister, Ann Ray) and after his death , later after his death, accountant of estate was a Henry bickett, and seems to have passed on to aNathaniel Bickett.The administration of the estate seems to have gone on until the late 1820's and it is in these records that we have found the children's names.
