Henry Perrigan and Elizabeth Booher Family Page
From an interview with
Elizabeth Booher Perrigan:
My name is Elizabeth Parrigin and I am the youngest daughter of John Booher. I was born in Sullivan County, Tennessee January 11, 1797,
and if I live 'til my next birthday, I will be 105 years old. We
moved within 4 miles of Bristol, TN when I was 19-years-old from
Washington County, VA--Abingdon being the county seat.
We moved to Clinton, KY one mile from where we now live, October 17,
1858. I was married to Henry Parrigin August 18, 1821 at the age
of 24 in Washington Co, VA. We had seven children: 3
daughters and 4 sons--Amelia Ann, John Franklin, Martha Jane, Sabrina,
Emery, Cyrus and William Henry. My daughter, Amelia Ann, married her
cousin, Joseph Parrigan, at age 24. She had 8 sons and no daughters.
The names of the sons were Cyrus, Jacob, Abel J., James Campbell,
George, Sylvanus, Frank (Colonel) and William Henry. All are
living. four in this country and four in Texas, and all hve
families except George who had but one child when he separated from
his wife. Cyrus, the Judge, Abel, George and Frank live in
Clinton County.
