General Notes: Husband - Dr. James Gerry

---

Shrewsbury, York Co, PA

His father came from Scotland, and in his first attempt, having fitted out a vessel of his own, was captured by the notorious pirate, "Paul Jones," and his vessel and goods confiscated, and he landed on the shores of France. He made his way back to Scotland, and after peace was declared made another attempt and came to America, settling in Cecil County, Maryland.

He practiced his profession over forty years in Shrewsbury, Pennsylvania, and was twice elected to the United States Congress from that district.
