William Marshall Perry was born in Hancock County Georgia, September 23rd A.D. 1800. He moved to Alabama and settled in Montgomery County in 1818. He married Miss I. Shropshire in 1820. They moved to the Cole's Settlement near the present town of Independence, Texas in 1833. In 1834 they settled in Austin County where they were living when the war of 1836 broke out.
He joined Houston's army at Gonzales and remained with it until it crossed the Colorado River on the retreat, when he was sent home by Major McNutt to assist the families in moving. McNutt being promoted and Lieutenant Key Kendall being promoted to the Captaincy of his Company. He joined the Company with the families at Groces Store on the Brazos. Being here, he had taken sick. He was unable to go on with the Army hence did not participate in the Battle of San Jacinto.
In 1838 he moved to Bastrop where he fought the Indians every light moon. In 1839 he was in the Brushy Creek fight with Ed. Burleson at the time when Mrs. Coleman and son were killed and three of her children carried off by the Indians. Jake Burleson, Evert Blackey, and Gilliand were killed in this fight.
He was on the move in the 1842 campaign where he joined Caldwell's Company on the Salado and assisted in burying Captain Dawson and men who were massacred by the Mexicans. He was in Captain Highsmith's Company of Rangers and also with Henry E. McCulloch's Company of Rangers.
He moved to Hays County in 1854 where he has lived for 29 years with the latch string always on the outside of the door. About eight years ago he was thrown from his mule and has been a cripple ever since. He and Mrs. Tyson his daughter came to live with Mr. W.G. Good about four years ago where they have lived ever since and where they both died. He on the 17th and she on the 18th day of November 1883. He departed this life in the morning, twenty minutes to one o'clock.
He had four children, Asa, William, E.J. Tyson, and C.R. Perry. Asa Perry was killed near Concrete in DeWitt County during the late war. William was killed at Love Joy (or Lexington Station), Georgia the last year of the war. Captain C.R. Perry the only surviving one is now living in Blanco County and was present at the death and burial of the Father and Sister.
Mrs. W.J. Good is the daughter of Mrs. Tyson and the granddaughter of Mr. W.M. Perry the deceased who lived to see five generations of children and great-grandchildren.
During the last years of Mr. Perry, Mrs. Tyson devoted her whole time to ministering to every wish of her beloved Father. And though suffering herself with a lingering ill health served to forget her own suffering in endeavoring to relieve those of her Father.
She married R.L Reding, the father of Mrs. Good, in 1839. Mr. Reding was at the storming of Goliad in 1833 and served through the war of 1836 in Dimmitt's Company. He died shortly after and left her a widow with six small children whom she struggled to raise. She was afterwards married to Mr. W.S. Tyson who was killed in the Confederate Army at the Battle of Val Verde in New Mexico in 1862.
Mr. and Mrs. Good spared no pains or expenses in making their home comfortable and cheerful for the loved ones now gone forever from their midst, and hope to meet them again in a brighter and better world. The only child by Mr. Tyson, Ed. M. Tyson is now living in Jones County, Texas.
Mr. Perry for some time previous to his death expressed a perfect willingness to die and his last moments gave the assurance of going to rest in peace with his Maker. Mrs. Tyson was for many years a consistant Christian and died in the triumphs of a Christian.
