Perrin WALDREP-6
First Generation
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 Mary Ann 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 died a 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 used in the minutes is spelled Waldroup. He was in Company K; 24th Regiment; Georgia Volunteers, serving under W. Griggs. Search of CSA records at the GA Archives failed to show this unit. The widow's application for pension in January 3, 1902 shows he entered service August 1, 1862 and went home with pneumonia December 22, 1863 where he died. See her notes copied for us by Mimi Jo Butler. 1830 Census Habersham County, Georgia. Marriage License dated 19 Feb 1849, 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 home of the fever. His date of death was reported as January 5 or 6, 1863/64 in 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 name does 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 by Mary L. Church of Clarkesville, GA in 1962. From the minutes of Providence Baptist Church in Batesville, GA: In the 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 that he 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: Buncom 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 family are basically the same as what Robert M. Waldrep had, but county and state records differ. The 1860 census indicates she was born in 1830? She is in the Habersham County Marriage Index, B63, shown as Miss Mary Ann Wilkerson. An early family reunion shows her on a family chart as Mary Ann Vandiver (Pickens Co) along with Peron Waldrep (Buncom Co) and says married in SC. (Irish) . Some of this contradicts the record of her marriage in Habersham Co GA as shown in a copy made at the courthouse in Clarkesville, Habersham Co, GA. Was she married twice? If so, we need to search for her marriage to a Vandiver either before she married Perrin, or, most likely, after Perrin died. Her birthdate and her date of death came from records collected by Sandra Deal and provided to us for inclusion in our family history. The burial location was part of the records, also. James L. Waldrep of Dahlonega, GA took Lloyd Waldrep to view her burial site in the Oak Grove Baptist Church Cemetery in Hall Co GA on July 1, 1995. She had a newspaper clipping in her purse when she died listing the death of a wife of A. P . Waldrip in Bosque County, TX. It is in files of Lloyd A Waldrep, Felton Waldrep and James L. Waldrep. Mimi Jo Butler, in mid-1999, extracted several Habersham County GA Confederate Pension applications and one is about her filing on January 3, 1902: "Mrs. Mary Waldrep, widow of Perrin Waldrep, who enlisted Company K 24 Regiment of GA Volunteers on August 1, 1862, and served until December 22, 1863. Came home with pneumonia and died. Mary (X) Waldrep January 3 , 1902 - was in camp at Decatur, GA and turned over to Col. Andrews for service as per W. H . Griggs - W.H. Griggs, enrolling officer." The second name came through family sources (Sandra Dunagan Deal) in GA from notes she compiled over several years. 7120902, sheet 10. Surname should be spelled Waldrep. 3 F ii.
