There is a considerable amount of conflicting information about Edmund Perry and his wife Sarah. Most of the information comes from family histories that differ in their accounts, though most agree he was born about 1588 in Devon, England. Some say Edmund emigrated to Plymouth Colony in 1637 or 1639 and died shortly thereafter in Sandwich. Others say he died 07 Jun 1659 in Sandwich. Still others say he died in England in 1614 before the rest of the family emigrated to America. Edmund's wife Sarah's maiden name is also in dispute. Some say Betts, some say Crowell.

Edmund Perry is not listed in Savage's Genealogical Dictionary, Anderson's Great Migration Directory, Farmer's Genealogical Register, or Holme's Directory of the Ancestral Heads of New England Families.

In short, without primary source documentation, the facts for this family are at present impossible to ascertain. If anyone has reliable sources based on solid evidence please contact us.
