Perry (Woodrooff)
|
The Perrys were established at Woodrooff, Clonmel, county Tipperary, from the beginning of the 18th century. In 1703 John Perry of Woodruffe bought part of the estate of King James II in the barony of Iffa and Offa. Samuel Perry married Phoebe Norcott and had two sons, William, who inherited Woodrooff from his uncle John Perry, and Richard, a merchant in Cork. William's eldest son, Samuel Perry, married the Honourable Deborah Prittie, second daughter of the 1st Baron Dunalley. At the time of Griffith's Valuation the Perry estate was located in the parishes of Derrygrath, Newcastle, Rochestown, barony of Iffa and Offa West and Inishlounaght, Kilsheelan, Newchapel and St Mary's Clonmel, barony of Iffa and Offa East, county Tipperary and included large mountaineous areas. In the 1870s Samuel Perry of Woodrooffe owned 2,768 acres and William Perry of Newcastle owned 5,583 acres in county Tipperary.
