• Notes

  Stephen's father, Samuel Perry, and his family, including Stephen, were forced to leave Massachusetts and take refuge with the British in Newport, Rhode Island, because of Samuel's support of the British in the Revolutionary War. After the war, Stephen joined the "Bay of Fundy Adventurers" and left with his young family for the St. John River, New Brunswick, Canada. Stephen eventually settled on 55 acres near Shelburne, Nova Scotia. As a yeoman, or land-owning farmer, Stephen bought and sold land in this area. By early 1808, he had gained sufficient funds to purchase his father's 375 acre land grant.
