1657 - aft 1706
Massachusetts - Rhode Island
I have done NO serious research on her or her family at all. This is information I got from two files on Rootsweb's WorldConnect site. The files do not always agree.
Turner, Prettyman, York Family Tree - William H. Turner III
Ancestors of Knight and Patricia Kerr - Claudia Kerr
1657 Oct - born Sandwich Barnstable MA
1676 Oct - married Joseph Hull
children:
1. Tristram, our next ancestor, born October 08, 1677; died 1718.
2. Joseph, born ~1679. He married (1) Ann Gardner, (2) Susanna Green.
3. Mary, born ~1681. She married John Hoxie.
4. John, born ~1685. He married Jean/Jane Canada July 11, 1709.
5. Alice. She married John Sager/Segar March 01, 1706/07.
6. Reuben, died June 23, 1720
1706 Oct 4 - died after this date in North Kingstown, RI
Her Parents (there is general agreement on these two)
Robert Harper
~1629 - born, England
16xx - emigrated to New England
1654 May 9 - married Deborah Perry, Sandwich, Barnstable, MA
children:
1. Mary born 25 OCT 1655. She married Thomas Bowerman 9 Apr 1678 in Barnstable
According to the Kerr file, Mary was born 5 Oct 1665, which would make Experience the oldest and Mary the youngest, and which means Deborah probably died of complications from childbirth
2. Experience born OCT 1657 in Sandwich
3. Stephen born JUN 1662, and died young
1661 - his friend the Quaker preacher William Leddra was hanged in Boston. Robert cared for his dead body when it was cut down - for which he and Deborah were banished. However, all his children seem to have been born in Sandwich, so I wonder where he was banished to, and for how long?
1665 - wife Deborah Perry died
1666 June 22 - married 2nd wife Prudence Butler - Sandwich, Barnstable, MA
children:
1. Hannah b: 16 MAY 1670 in Sandwich
2. Elizabeth b: 16 OCT 1672 in Sandwich
3. Mercy b: 12 JUN 1675 in Sandwich
???? - died Falmouth, Barnstable, MA
Deborah Perry
1634 born - Devonshire
1665 Oct 14 - died
Her Grandparents
There is no obvious problem with the Harpers - other than that they seem to be too young to be having children (but their birth-dates are only estimates), but the Perrys need to be looked into.
Joseph Harper
~1610 - born Calverley, Yorkshire, England.
16xx - married Marie Gelderd
children
1. Marie
2. Thomas
3. Margaret.
4. Robert - b. ~1629
1642 June 24 - buried Calverley, Yorkshire, England.
Marie Gelderd
~1614 born - Calverley, Yorkshire, England
According to Turner file, Deborah Perry's parents were Edward and Mary Freeman Perry, but there are definite problems which I need to check up on.
Edward Perry
children:
1. Margaret born 1622. She married Edmond Freeman 18 July 1651.
2. Ezra born 1625. He married Elizabeth Burges 12 Feb 1651.
3. Hannah born 1630. She married Henry Dillingham 24 June 1652.
4. Deborah born 1634, and died 14 Oct 1665. She married Robert Harper 9 May 1654 .
Mary Freeman - born aft 1617 - died ~ 1660 - Sandwich, Barnstable Co. Mass - d/o Edmund Freeman
I think this must be incorrect - if she was really born after 1617, then how could she have had a daughter born 1622?
According to the Kerr file, Deborah’s parents were Edmund and Sarah Unknown Perry.

1. Arthur - born ~1614 - died 9 Oct 1652.
