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.

The Family of Christopher R. Perry-- Part 1: Oliver, Raymond, Sarah and Matthew

From Wikipedia.

To say this family has had an impact on the U.S. Navy is an understatement.  They had five sons who all died while in Navy service.

Here are the children of Christopher and Sarah Perry:

**  Captain Oliver Hazard Perry  (1785-1819)  Married Elizabeth Champlin Mason in 1811.

**  Lieutenant Raymond Henry Jones Perry  (1787-1826)  Served in the U.S. Navy from 1807 until his death

**  Sarah Wallace Perry  (1791-1855) who never married.

**  Captain Matthew Calbraith Perry  (1794-1858)  Who married Jane Slidell  Perry (1816-1864).

It is kind of a coincidence that Oliver and Matthew married women with the same last names of the Confederate commissioners in the Trent Affair during the Civil War.
