Hi -
I have been trying for years to get a start on my father's paternal line. The only clues to my great-grandfather are in a notarized document, and in it he states that he, John P. Perry married Maude Collins on Aug. 25, 1892 and to them was born Ernest Frederick Perry on May 26, 1896 in Atchison County, KS. The document was done in Sedgwick Co. KS in 1937. I know Ernest never married and he died in Lake Worth FL in 1958.

There was one more child, a son, born in Wichita in August 1893, James Wagner Perry, my grandfather.

I was told John P. was well off financially and was a cabinet maker for the railroad. James also worked for the Northern Pacific, most of his life in Wash.state & Montana. Any help on John P. & Maude would be great!
