Re: Birth Look Up

In Reply to: Birth Look Up by wonda beasley of 355

I have some information, but not the birth record.

From my daabase:
film 0931555, Charlestown, RI, Marriages, 1849-1921.
Page 27
Lyman Franklin Perry of Charlestown age 24 (says he and his bride are black, but marr on 4 Aug of his sister Susan Ella Perry says that she and her spouse are Mulatto) a farmer, b in South Kingstown son of Lyman B. Perry and Frances Taylor m Elizabeth Wilcox of Charlestown age 18 b in South Kingstown daughter of Othniel Wilcox and Hannah Pierce. First marr for both.

Apparently I failed to transcribe the date, but the previous entry on page 27 that I noted (I did not transcribe all of the marriages) was 12 Nov 1876 and the next marriage I noted was on page 28 on 15 July 1877.

Beaman, RIVR-NS, 9:134 lists the death of Lyman Frnaklin Perry, Indian, s/o Lyman Franklin and Frances (Taylor) Perry, b SK 26 Sep 1856 (wid Elizabeth Wilcox) d 2 Mar 1933 WE) (WeD 5-133)

My database again:
Film No 0930852 Births, Marr, Deaths, Richmond 1850-1910
Marriages Page 51
7 Dec 1902 in Richmond Alpheus Johnson Perry of and b in Charlestown age 19 laborer s/o Lyman H and Lizzie Perry m Abbie Maude Wilcox of Richmond age 18 b in West Kingston d/o Othnial S and Amey Ann Wilcox. First marr for both.

Looks like an Othniel Wilcox Perry d in South Kingstown, 2 Apr 1975.

RI Cem database:
PERRY LYMAN F 1825c - 29 APR 1889 CH066
PERRY LYMAN F 1889 - WY008

film 0931555, Charlestown, RI, Births, 1849-1921. p 42
Jessie Grant Perry white mulatto b 6 Feb 1885 daughter of Lyman F. Perry and Lizzie Perry of Charlestown (5th child)

film 0931555, Charlestown, RI, Marriages, 1849-1921.
Page 27
William Franklin Hopkins of Charlestown age 20, farmer b in Charlestown son of Natal Hopkins and Joanna Salins(?) m 4 Aug 1876 Susan Ella Perry of Charlestown age 19 b in Charlestown daughter of Lyman B. Perry and Frances Taylor. First marr for both.

From Riverbend Cem, Westerly, recorded 7 Sep 991 by myself.
1889 Lyman F. Perry
1880 wf Mary M. Gardiner 1949
1924 ch: Francis C. 1926

Westerly Town Hall, Index card file of deaths Out of town & state deaths interred in Westerly
Lyman Franklin Perry, d 16 Aug 1941 in Providnece, bur RBC

Othniel, Hannah, Elizabeth and siblings are listed in the 1860 census for Exeter.

You can check the Charlestown birth records yourself by ordering film number 0931555 at a nearby Family History Center in a Mormon church.

A telephone call to the Charlestown Town Hall might be successful since you have the month and year of his birth.

The RI Archives have the 1875 state census.

Also take a look at his marriage and death record. These should list his parents although they may say his father was unknown.
