| Notes |
- Perrigreen Magness, Jr., was born in 1753 in Prince George’s County, Maryland. He was technically Perrigreen Magness III, but apparently was never so designated. Both he and his father were sometimes referred to as Perrigreen Magness, Jr., causing occasional confusion.
He apparently enlisted in the army on two successive years. He was age 21 and 5 feet 9 inches tall on July 1, 1775 when he enlisted in Captain Eli Kershaw’s Company of Colonel Thompson’s Regiment of South Carolina Rangers.
His name also appears on the roll of Colonel William Thompson’s 3rd South Carolina Regiments, with an enlistment date of July 24, 1776. he probably died in early 1785, as William Magness was appointed administrator of his estate in April 1785 by the Rutherford County, North Carolina, Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions.
The inventory showed that he owned four horses and 60 gallons of whiskey (which were sold to William Magness for 32 pounds 5 shillings) and that Ben Magness owed the estate 10 pounds.
He was apparently unmarried and died without heirs. [2]

Jeff,
I was interested in your outline, although I do have different data on the Magness family. I do not have David, Morgan, & Sallie, Patsy & Susannah Magness, I haven't been able to prove their descent yet. We can't seem to find the maiden name of Mary Magness, wife of Perry Green Magness, or her birth or death dates. If she was born by 1725, I don't believe she would have had children as late as 1784 or surely by 1791 or 1794, she would have been in her 50's and 60's.
Names I have for Perry Green & Mary Magness are:
William, unmarried
James b. 1750 d. 1782
Perry Green b. 1753 d. 1785 m. Mary Reagan
Benjamin b. 6 Apr 1754 Prince Georges Co MD
