Thomas was the first husband of Mary Margaret Oakes.
Thomas was killed in the summer of 1762 by a band of about 60 Shawnee Indians near Back Creek, Augusta Co, VA.∼Thomas Peery was born about 1715 in Count Donegal, Republic of Ireland.
He migrated to North America and married Mary Margaret Oakes from Augusta County Virginia.
Thomas Peery was killed during a Shawnee Massacre near Back Creek. "In the summer of 1761 about 60 Shawnee Warriors penetrated the settlements on the James River. To avoid the fort at the Looney's Creek on this river, they passed through Bowen Gap in Purgatory Mountain in the night. Ascending Purgatory Creek they killed Thomas Perry, Joseph Dennis and his child. They took Hannah Dennis, his wife, prisoner. Then they proceeded to the house of Robert Renix, where they captured Mrs. Renix and her five children, William, Robert, Thomas, Joshua and Betsy. Mr. Renix was not home. Then went to the house of Thomas Smith were Mr. Renix was and shot and scalped Mr. Renix and Mr. Smith. Then they took Mrs. Smith and a white servant girl name Sally, Jr. Thomas was killed in the summer of 1762 by a band of about 60 Shawnee Indians near Back Creek, Augusta Co, VA.
Thomas Peery is known as one of the first settlers in Virginia and owned 375 acres wherein he planted crops.
The farm was on one of the branches of the Middle River of Shenandoah.
The name of this Thomas Peery first appears in the records on the list of Captain John Wilson's Company of Augusta County Militia, raised for the defense of the frontier in the late summer or early fall of 1742. This was only about 10 years after the first settlement of white people in the county, which at the time comprised all of Virginia lying west of the Blue Ridge Mountains southerly of the County of Frederick. This Company was one of twelve raised at about the same time, the rolls of only nine of which have been found. These rolls are supposed to have born the names of practically all the arms bearing population at that time, from youth to extreme old age.
The fact that no other Peery name appears upon any of these nine rolls, which have been preserved, would indicate that Thomas was the only one in the settlement.
In Captain John Wilson's Company, with Thomas Peery were George Davidson, John William and James Hunter. Alexander and Robert Crockett, John and James Trimble, Robert, John, James and Hugh Young. Jacob Lockhart, Thomas Kirkpatrick, David and William Campbell, William Legerwood and others more or less familiar.
