"18. Josiah3 Perry (Benjamin,2 Ezra1), born (Sandwich) 18 Oct. 1709, died in Shaftsbury, Vt., after 27 April 1784. … Josiah, his father and his brothers Benjamin, Nathaniel and Eliakim had all moved from Sandwich, Mass., before October 1735. A deed, dated in Stoughton 15 Oct. 1735, shows that Josiah, Nathaniel and Eliakim Perry purchased from their 'Honoured father Benjamin Perry' 386 acres of land in Stoughton, at which date they are all named as resident there (Suffolk County Deeds, vol. 48, p. 89). … Josiah Perry and his wife Mary removed to Easton 1747 when they signed the church covenant there (Easton Church Records). They moved to Norwich, Conn., before 1752 when 'Josiah Perry of Norwich' bought of his cousin, Mayhew Tupper, the latter's right in lot 39 in the 25th division of Stoughton (100 acres for £60.), including the dower right of the grantor's mother, Remember (Perry) Tupper (Suffolk County Deeds, vol. 82, p. 2; Theresa Hall Bristol, 'More Notes on the Ancestry of Early Vermont-New York Settlers' in the New York Genealogical and Biographical Record, vol. 44, p. 334; William Root Bliss, Colonial Times on Buzzard's Bay [2d ed. enl.], passim). Mrs. Bristol states that Josiah Perry and his brother Eliakim both moved into the area which was in dispute between the Province of New York and the Colony of New Hampshire). Before 1775 Josiah had settled in Shaftsbury (now in Bennington County, Vt.). His will, dated in Shaftsbury 27 April 1784, gives to his 'wife Mary' one third real property, buildings, livestock and household goods during her life. To his son Josiah, after his mother's death, all the home farm and other property given to her, plus the remaining two thirds of the home farm, which he had 'bought of James Brakenridge, being part of Gov. Wintworth's lot.' To his 'son Winslow Perry, … all the farm where he now lives which I formerly gave to my son Philip Perry, deceased, together with 16 acres adjoining which I bought of Benony Potmeture.' To 'my daughter Hannah House' £6. He appoints as executors his 'sons Samuel House and Josiah Perry. Witnesses: Jeremiah Clark, Eldad Kibbe and Ezekiel Parker. Probated 28 Dec. 1884 [error for 1784]. Inventory: £820. 7s. 4d. (Bennington County Probate)."
