Lt. James Alexander Perry and Nathaniel Hazard Perry

LT. JAMES ALEXANDER PERRY

Another son of Christopher R. Perry (and brother to Oliver Hazard Perry and Matthew Calbraith Perry) was this man.

According to Wikipedia (1801-1822)  Served in the U.S. navy from  1811 until his death.    Served with brother Oliver Hazard Perry at the Battle of Lake Erie at age 12.

This is all I can find about him.

Another son was Purser NATHANIEL HAZARD PERRY

According to Find A Grave, he was born in 1801, the youngest of C.R. Perry's sons.

Died 1832 (aged 28-29)

Buried Cedar Grove Cemetery, New London, Connecticut.

Inscription:  U.S.N., Youngest son of  Christopher and Sarah Perry of Newport, Rhode Island.

Married Lucretia Thatcher, January 27, 1828.

A daughter of C.R. Perry, Anna Maria Perry Rodgers, is also buried at this cemetery along  with her husband and her sister Sarah Wallace Perry.

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.
