Descendants of Christopher R. Perry-- Part 1: Oliver, Matthew, Alexander and Raymond


From Wikipedia.

To say the family of this man was important in U.S. Naval and Military History is an understatement.  Besides his children, of whom all five sons were in the Navy and one daughter married a Navy man, he had many others descendants who served their country.

SONS:  The best known are, of course, Oliver Hazard Perry and Matthew Calbraith Perry.

OTHERS:

Brevet Brig. Gen. Alexander James Perry (1828-1913)  Career Army officer, West Point graduate and served in the Civil War.

Rear Admiral Christopher Raymond Perry Rodgers (1819-1892).  Served in Mexican War and Civil War,  Was Superintendent of the USNA and Commander of the Pacific Squadron.

Rear Admiral Raymond Perry Rodgers (1849-1925), son of the above, Spanish-American War.

And, We're Just Beginning.  --Brock-Perry
