Moses Perry 1714-1801: A Founding Father Of Yarmouth, Nova Scotia - Paperback
by Mary Ann Mitchell (Author)
In 1761, Moses Perry with his family and some friends, left Massachusetts in a tiny boat named the 'Pompey Dick'. The 17 people sailed for 8 days before landing near the present day site of Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. This book not only describes some of Moses' ancestors but follows the Perry Family as they flourished in this new land, many up to present day 2015. Attempts have been made to tell stories and facts about the people so they are not just dates on a tombstone, but people who had hopes and dreams for a better life. This is the third revision of this book and it is hoped that people will contribute more information so records for future generations will be as accurate as possible.
Mary Ann Mitchell, a direct descendent of Moses Perry, was born and grew up in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. With extended family around, stories of ancestors abounded and sparked an interest in her family genealogy. Mary Ann and her sister often searched for tombstone names and dates in the Town Point Cemetery when they realized they had so many ancestors there. Although Mary Ann now lives in Nevada, the family ties to Yarmouth are still very strong.
