Am Rev Perry Co

According to the Tennessee State Library and Archives, Tennessee did not have any designated units during the Revolutionary War, as it was not a state at that time. They recommend that a researcher contact the state from which your Revolutionary War ancestor came to inquire about available rosters and records

However, we do have soldiers who fought in the American Revolution, and who later came to live in Perry County. The lists and links below reflect this group of soldiers or widows.

If you have any record for a soldier who fought in the American Revolution and lived in Perry County Tennessee, please contact Jan Monnin, your Perry County TnGenWeb coordinator.

Tennessee State Sons of the American Revolution	I am Maury Miller III, president of the Christopher Strong Chapter, TNSSAR in Dickson, Tn. We have several responsibilities as a chapter, one of which is to bring honor to Revolutionary War Patriots by marking Revolutionary War Patriots graves. Perry County is in our realm of influence. We mark the graves with a metal marker if a tombstone already exists, if not, then the direct family can receive a free tombstone by applying to the Department of Veterans Affairs. If this route is not available, then the "Chapter" will work with other interested organizations and individuals to help raise needed funds to purchase a tombstone for the Revolutionary War soldier, somewhere between $700.00 and $750.00 being the cost if some monument company is found to be conservative and patriotic. Within our marking, there is great ceremony. The TNSSAR Color Guard comes dressed in Revolutionary War uniforms and with several flags. Not only members of the local SAR show up but also the local chapters of the DAR are in attendance. A wreath of flowers and ribbons, red,white and blue is presented at the grave. The family of the soldier as well as the presidents of the attending SAR and DAR give speaks as well as the Perry County historian, the Perry County Mayor and etc., and of course a fine photographer needs to be there to record the special moment and accolade given to the particular Revolutionary War soldier. We would very much like to mark at least two and maybe three Revolutionary War soldiers in 2011 that are buried in Perry County, Tn. Along this line, we would need to know if there is a Revolutionary War soldier, who is buried in Perry County, and whether they have a tombstone or not. If you have an ancestor or know of a Revolutionary War veteran who is buried in Perry County, please contact me directly. earthfriends at localnet dot com
