    Richard (Perry), New Haven 1640, had Mary, bapt. 4 Oct. of that yr.; Micajah, 31 Oct. 1641; Samuel, 8 June 1645; John, 11 July 1647; and Grace, 2 Sept. 1649; perhaps rem. 1651, and was at Fairfield 1650. Share in div. of ld. there is giv. to Nathaniel, but not to Richard, wh. may have d. bef. and this have been his heir. Perhaps he was adm. as an inhab. 1637 at Charlestown, wh. is not long found resid. there; and at Fairfield m. Grace, wid. of John Nichols aft. June 1653, and was d. in 1658; but the identity is uncert. for in 1655 one of the name was at Providence, it is said. This, too, was the name of a merch. at London, one of the Assist. nam. in the royal chart. 1629, wh. aided our cause by money, but never came over.

    Perry, Richard. Clerk, New Haven Trainband, July 1644. One of the original and considerable signers and settlers of New Haven; made free, 29 Oct. 1640; took oath of allegiance, 1644; Secretary, May 1646, and Oct. 1646; but the following Apr. was going on a voyage for the comfort of his family, and resigned the office. He bought land, however, Sept, 1647; and the next month had leave to go on the Phœnix. In Sept. 1649 he sold house and lot to Thomas Kimberly. This Richard was a young man, married to a dau. of Mr. Richard Malbon, who was an original settler of New Haven, and Capt. of the artillery company. Malbon had an unmarried dau. Martha, and prob. a son Nathaniel. Malbon returned to England abt. 1648, and in 1655 lived in London; d. before 1661. In Feb. 1650/1 it was stated that Mr. and Mrs. Perry "are goeing away"; the next month, Mr. Perry desired to carry some things to England which his father [Mr. Malbon] had written for. He appears no more in New Haven records. Unless his plans were suddenly changed, it must be supposed that he returned to England in 1651. He had five children, Mary, Micajah, Samuel, John, and Grace, bapt. 1640-49. Savage suggests, and is followed by others, that Richard of New Haven rem. to Fairfield. This does not appear probable, for the Fairfield man was certainly there before 1650, and not one of the five children recorded at New Haven appears in Fairfield records.
