I am looking for biographical information, full names, and death dates for Davenport Iowa merchant tailor Samuel Perry and his family. Samuel Perry originated from England or New York. He married his wife, Abbie H. Peacock, in New York City about 1860 and immediately moved to Davenport, Iowa.

Their children were born between 1960-1870, including Rebecca Perry, Charles Perry, Julia F. Perry, Mary D. Perry, Nellie Perry, Helena B. Perry. In 1860, Samuel was 34, Abbie was 23, and Samuel's younger brother Theodore was 21, and they lived together in Davenport.

My great grandmother, Josephine Peacock Hallowell, referred to her neices a "the Perry girls." Josephine lived in Davenport for several months in 1870 caring for the infant Nettie, while her much older sister Abbie was expecting Helena. Josephine lived in Chicago most of her life and retired to Columbia, Missouri.

Charles and some of his unmarried sisters were still living in Davenport at the time of the 1925 census.
