He married Miss Mary A. Wilkerson on February 22, 1849 in Habersham
County GA according to county records, but marriage license gives 2/19/1849.
His name is spelled Perryon Waldrup and her name is spelled Miss Mar yAnn
Wilkerson on the records shown in Marriage Book B, page 63 for Habersham County GA. (See comments further along about her name).
When in the CSA army for training, he became very ill and was sent home while
still very ill, walked a long way from the train to get home and die da matter of days later, as reported by family members.
His surname was spelled Waldrope in the 1830 census of Habersham County GA and was spelled Waldrup on the marriage records of Habersham County GA. It was spelled Waldroupe or Waldroup at other times. We have used his name as Waldrep to agree with the spelling used by most descendants we have traced so far. He was a member of Providence Baptist Church, joining in 1853. The minutes of the Providence Baptist Church also show other of our family as members. The surname as use din the minutes is spelled Waldroup.
He was in Company K; 24th Regiment; Georgia Volunteers, serving unde rW.
Griggs. Search of CSA records at the GA Archives failed to show thi sunit.
1830 Census Habersham County, Georgia. Marriage License dated 19 Fe b1849,
Habersham County, Georgia. 1860 Census Habersham County, Georgia. Member
of the Providence Baptist Church, joining in 1853. Enlisted September
18(63?) under W. Griggs, Company K, 24 Georgia Regiment. Died at hom eof
the fever. His date of death was reported as January 5 or 6, 1863/6 4in
the official records of CSA Widows Pension papers. According to
descendants, Perrin became very ill while involved in Boot Training .He
became very ill and was sent home. He died a short time after arriving
home. Another record reflects that Perrin died 5 May 1863. His nam edoes not
appear in the records of Co. K, 24th GA Regiment so apparently he never got
out of basic training. Refer to "The Hills of Habersham" written b yMary L.
Church of Clarkesville, GA in 1962.
From the minutes of Providence Baptist Church in Batesville, GA: I nthe
January 1853 meeting Perrien Waldroup received by experience. The minutes are in the GA Archives as provided by Herbert B. Kinsey.
In the book "Once Upon A Time: Schools of Habersham County Georgia, 1818-1955" written by Betty Sisk and Ellene Gowder, Page 26 shows tha the was 8 years old in 1834, according to records from the GA Archives. His name shown as Paron Waldrup and some siblings are also listed. We use this as basis for his birthdate.
Quoting from information collected by Robert McMilian Waldrep of Alabama; and sent in by Robert Hoyt "Bob" Waldrep in April 1998:
Grandfather of Robert McMilian Waldrep wrote:
"Name: Lefaite Waldrep D/B: unknown Place of birth: Bumcom Co., North Carolina wife's maiden name: Mary Vander Place of birth: South Carolina" This refers to Perrin and his wife, apparently, even though records in Habersham County, GA are different. Records from others in famil yare basically the same as what Robert M. Waldrep had, but county an dstate records differ.
Note: His date of death has been reported as January 5 or 6 in either 186 3or 1
