While working at the Center Cemetery last Friday I had a gentleman drive in who and stopped to ask me where he could meet the Cemetery sexton. He said his name was Chauncey Perry, a descendent of Judge Chauncey Perry. He was up from his home outside Boston to visit his family plot and see about getting some dates added to a few gravestones. He is I believe the 4th in his family to be named Chauncey Perry.

I'll ask Chauncy who the 4th Chauncy was. His uncle Chauncy was a Harvard Med grad who was ell-known physician in Greenfield, Mass. His grandfather the judge was well-known in NYC. The Perry law firm was the oldest one in NYC at the time.

Wish I had been there, Chauncy is on old friend. His parents summer home was down the road from our home on River Rd (actually our closest neighbor for many years). I knew of 3 Chauncys, his grandfather the judge, his uncle a physician. The Chauncy you met is an electrical engineer who worked for Raytheon on the Patriot missile. He was also an adjunct professor at Northeastern U.
