Perry County, Tennessee

American Revolution 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 American Revolution.

  • Perry County was not in existence at the time of the Revolution, however, this project will encompass soldiers who lived in the Perry County area at any time during their life and fought in the Revolution.

  • 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 American Revolution 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.
