Charles and brother Moses PERRY settled with their families in Sierraville, Sierra County, around the 1880's. They originated in St. Louis, MO and were of French descent, sons of Jean PERRA and Theresa MARECHAL.

I am also looking for anyone with access to a book by James Miller Guinn, HISTORY OF CALIFORNIA AND BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD OF THE SIERRAS, pg. 767 on Charles PERRY.
