Deborah Perry (F) b. c 1632, d. 14 Dec 1665, #54 Deborah Perry was born circa 1632.1 Deborah married Robert Harper on 9 May 1654 in Sandwich, Barnstable Co., MA, New England.2,3,4 As of after 9 May 1654, her married name was Deborah Harper. Deborah Perry and Robert Harper were fined 4 pds, "for being att Quakers meetings" [BFH]; PCR III:200 does not give the amount. It is believed that the fine of Henry Howland (4 pounds) was mistaken as the way it was written in the transcription of the records could have been misread. (See PCR citation for details) on 2 October 1660 at Sandwich, Barnstable Co., MA, New England.5,6,7 Deborah Perry has also been reported to have died 14 October 1665 Sandwich, Barnstable Co., MA, New England, This date is prior to the birth of her daughter, Marcy, and is most likely a transcription error relating to the interpretation of Quaker dating method Deborah Perry died on 14 December 1665 in Sandwich, Barnstable Co., MA, New England.9 Last Edited=26 Jul 2002 Children of Deborah Perry and Robert Harper: Mary Harper (25 Dec 1655) Experience Harper (Nov 1657) Stephen Harper (Apr 1662) Marcy Harper (05 Dec 1665)
