Co. Illinois Cooperstown Twp
HISTORY OF PERRY CEMETERY
There are sixty-four " Perry " tombstones found in this
cemetery, giving its name.
The land on which this cemetery is located was taken from the government by
Edmund Perry on August 1, 1836, it is not known precisely when the first burial occurred.
In 1830, there were seven families of the Nathan and Rebecca Yarbrey/Yarbrough/
Perry families who came to Illinois from South Carolina by way of Kentucky - five sons and two sons-in-laws. Their
children were Edmund, Melvina, William, Edward, Sarah, Irwin, Benjamin and John. All became residents of Illinois.
This 1830 migration seems to have centered around the eldest son, Edmund, who
with his two brothers, a brother-in-law had laid out the land in 1829. He was here at the time of the deep snow
and returned in June 1830 to bring his parents and the family back with him. The trip from Kentucky is said to
have taken about a month.
Edmund had married Rachel Bridges of North Carolina. The had eleven children:
Martha, Phoebe, Rebecca, Icabod, James, Nathan, Sarah, Melvina, Louisa, Francis, and Luke.
Nathan, aged 82, and Rebecca and Edmund, aged 82, and Rachel, aged 76, are said
to have been buried near the
center of the cemetery around which was a wooden fence.
