For this page, I’d like to have a listing of towns and communities in Perry County. Understanding the area where our ancestors lived is key to locating records and understanding why they lived in a certain area. I would like this page to be a starting point to document this history. There will probably be several things I’d like included on this page:
- I will have an alphabetical list below of towns or communities, both ones that exist currently and also ones that existed at some point in the past.
- As we start to collect information about each community, I’ll add a separate page for each church;
- Biographies or histories about the area would be helpful;
- Pictures of the community as it existed;
- Any other information that we can collect, newspaper articles, members of the community, how it was formed, when it was dissolved, how it got its name, stories or recollections by people who lived there, town officers, etc.
I know that this will probably take a lot of time to put together. Please e-mail me if you have any of this information, for any town or community (past or present) in Perry County. Thank you. Contact Jerry L Butler, your Perry County TNGenWeb coordinator.
