Perry County, Tennessee
War of 1812 Soldier Project
-
The objective of this project is to
compile a complete list for soldiers and sources who lived in Perry County
Tennessee and fought in the War of 1812.
-
This will be an ongoing project.
-
As more online sources about Perry
County soldiers are posted and discovered, they will be indexed to this
project.
If you know of
any source for the War of 1812 soldiers that have mention of Perry County
residents, please transcribe the information for the Perry County soldiers and
e-mail it to Jan Monnin, your Perry County
TnGenWeb coordinator. We will then index it into this project.

My 3rd G Grandfather, William Kelly, was
awarded a 440 Land Grant from the state of TN, Perry County in 1846.
He was in the war of 1812 but I'm not sure of reason for the Land Grant
(TN No. 28525).
Cost was 12.5 Cents per acre ($55.00). That was nearly two years worth of
his father's (James Kelly S1544 Pension Application) Revolutionary war
pension ($30.00/Ann)
