I am having extreme difficulty finding any information on a William Thomas Perry (aka: W T Perry) who lived in Woodville (Haywood County/LAU), Tennessee around 1865 to1905. I believe he was a prominent businessman, owned the "WT Perry Dry Goods Store" in Woodville. He married Alice Jane McAlpin (also spelled McColpin) on 12/27/1879, in Haywood Co., Tennessee. They had five children: Edward Gordon Perry (m. Melvina Vandelia Kirkpatrick on 12/28/1910, I believe they were married at "Scotlawn" {Revo Plantation} in Ripley, Lauderdale County, TN.,she was the daughter of John William Kirkpatrick and Virginia Howell Scott{daughter of Thomas Miller Scott Sr. of "Scotlawn"})., William McAlpin Perry, Hattie Perry, Lee Perry & Amy Perry. The family moved to El Paso, Texas around 1905. He died in El Paso on August 24, 1910. I have exhausted all possible avenues in an effort to find the names of his parents.
