Perez [also found as Paris] Chipman was born about 1730 in Sussex County, Delaware. The author Bert Chipman Perez lived from 1749 until the end of the Revolution in the town of Camden, Delaware before moving to Deep River, North Carolina. He was a Nicholite of the Quaker faith and dressed in undyed cloth, as was the custom. During the Revolution, the British, who controlled that area, came to his home to take provisions for the Army. They say his plain coat, and out of respect for his principles of non-combativeness, they took only half of the meat he had. However, it is said that he threw them out once the division was made. He made his living as a fuller or clothier.

The DAR reference an alternate spouse named Mary Inkley. The book John Howland of the Mayflower, Vol. 3 says Perez “married first in Sussex Co, Del, about 1748, Mary Inkly/Inkle, who was probably born in Sussex Co about 1731, the daughter of Elnathan Inkley/Inkle and his wife. Mary died about 1749, after giving birth to a daughter who also died.”

He was married on 3 October 1751 to Margaret Manlove, who died in 1803. They had the following known children:

Eunice was born on 20 June 1752 and died as an infant.
Harriet “Hannah” was born on 11 November 1753 and married William Horney.
Mary was born on 27 July 1756 and married John Horney.
Deborah was born on 31 December 1758 and died in 1782.
John was born on 24 March 1761 and married Mary Harris.
Paris was born on 11 September 1763 and married Elizabeth Saunders.

Although he was a passivist, he did support the cause of Independence by furnishing sundries to the militias of North Carolina, Virginia, and South Carolina. This makes him a patriot of the cause.

He made his Last Will and Testament on 13 January 1797 at Guilford County, North Carolina, and named his heirs as his wife Margaret; sons John and Paris; daughters Hannah Horney and Mary Horney. The will was proven in court in the May session of 1801.

The Patriot died on 13 March 1801 in Deep River, Guilford County, North Carolina, and was buried at the old High Point cemetery.

Send a biographical sketch of your patriot!

Patriot biographies must be the original work of the author, and work submitted must not belong to another person or group, in observance with copyright law. Patriot biographies are to be written in complete sentences, follow the established rules of grammar, syntax and punctuation, be free of typographical errors, and follow a narrative format. The narrative should unfold in a logical manner (e.g. the narrative does not jump from time period to time period) or have repeated digressions, or tell the history of the patriot's line from the patriot ancestor to the author. The thinking here is that this is a patriot biography, not a lineage report or a kinship determination project or other report published in a genealogy journal. The biography should discuss the qualifying service (military, patriotic, civil) of the patriot ancestor, where the service was rendered, whether this was a specific state or Continental service, as well as significant events (as determined by the author) of the patriot's life. This is the entire purpose of a patriot's biography.
