Perry County First Families Project
On November 1, 2014, Perry County celebrated it's Bicentennial with a day of festivities and a First Families of Perry County ceremony hosted by the Lafayette Spring Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Families were encouraged to research their genealogy to locate their ancestors living in Perry County during the years 1814-1865.
This list consists the ancestors submitted during the application process by those family descendants and should not be considered a complete list of early settlers to Perry County.
Special thanks to Molly Hall with the Lafayette Spring Chapter of the DAR, and Cindy Kaufman with the genealogy department at the Perry County Library for their work with helping people with their forms and verifying records.
Book Published
In September 2017, the Lafayette Spring Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution compiled the application forms submitted by families for this project and prepared an organized summary of each ancestor submitted. The finished document was published into a limited edition book that was available for purchase. Copies were also given to each of the local schools and libraries.
The book is available to the public as a resource in the Genealogy Department of the Perry County Library in Tell City, Indiana.
