Pike County Missouri History, Des Moines, Iowa, Mills and Company, 1883, p. 621. (Montgomery Co).
Perry Meloan, farmer and stock-raiser, was born in Montgomery county, Kentucky, October 7,1820. When he was nine years of age he came with his parents to Pike county, Missouri, where he was reared and educated, living with his parents until he reached his majority, when he went to Wisconsin, where he remained for three years, then he returned to Pike county, and remained until 1850, when he went to California, enticed by the glitter of gold. He remained there with good success for about a year and a half, when he again returned to Pike county and engaged in the mercantile business, in company with his brother, Joseph, at Paynesville, which occupation he followed for a period of three years, when he sold out and purchased his present farm, which contains 100 acres of improved land. He was married, November 9, 1843, to Elizabeth J. Patton, a daughter of Thomas D. and Julia Patton. They are the parents of eight children, all of whom still survive: Mary A., John F., Julia, Sarah, Elizabeth, Carrie O., Robert and Fannie. Mr. M. and wife are members of the Christian Church.
