Lt. Raymond Henry Jones Perry (1789-1826)


I have already written a lot about Oliver Hazard Perry (and he is the one my signoff Brock-Perry is for) and Matthew Calbraith Perry.   I am going to see what I can find out about Christopher R. Perry's other three sons.  Lt. Raymond Henry Jones Perry, Lt. James Alexander Perry (1801-1822) and Purser Nathaniel Hazard Perry  (1803-1832).

All five sons served in the U.S. Navy and all five died while still in service of it.  And, four of them, including Oliver Hazard Perry,  died quite young, even for those days.

From Find A Grave.
