There was a burial ground near Enterprise in Milan Township. Old Enterprise Road is SR 113. A few miles west of Milan on SR 113 is the burial ground known as "Graveyard in the Woods." It is on the north side of SR 113, just before the intersection of Kelly Road. It is possible that Winslow Perry was buried here. The only stones there are broken. One stone reads "Sayer, Clarinda, wife of Jedediah Sayer, died Mae 22, 1841 ae 5 yrs." This is significant because the farm that Perry purchased back in 1811 became known as Sayer's Farm, about 1.5 miles west of Milan on the Huron River.
Winslow Perry is a descendant of Francis Cooke, passenger on the Mayflower.
Winslow Perry served in Jonathan Holman's Co. under Col. Ephraim Doolittle during the Siege of Boston from his enlistment on 17 Jul 1775 through the end of 1775. Upon re-enlisting in 1776, Perry served in the 4th Continental (MA) Regiment in the Battles of Long Island (26 Aug 1776), Harlem Heights (16 Sep 1776) and White Plains (28 Oct 1776).
In July 1777 Perry joined Herrick's Regiment of Vermont Rangers. He fought in the Battle of Bennington (16 Aug 1777). The affidavit of his wife Rachel Perry states that Winslow Perry was present at the surrender of Gen. John Burgoyne at Saratoga on 17 Oct 1777. However, Gen Benj. Lincoln stated in a letter dated 29 Sep 1777 that he would leave the VT Rangers at Pawlet, VT. On 12 Oct 1777 Col Herrick is at Pawlet, so it is possible that Perry was at Pawlet during Burgoyne's surrender. Perry was present during the attack in Nov 1777 on the British who were retreating after the abandonment of Ticonderoga and Mount Independence. With his company of rangers, Capt. Allen attacked the rear of the enemy near what is now the village of Essex, Essex County, NY, across Lake Champlain from Charlotte, VT. Allen captured 49 prisoners, upwards of 100 horses, 12 yoke of oxen, four cows and miscellaneous war material.
In Oct 1780 Perry was part of Capt. Downer's Alarm Co. in response to the attack on Royalton, Sharon and Tunbridge by Lieutenant Houghton's British regiment, along with 300 Mohawk warriors. On 12 Oct 1781 Perry served as drummer for thirteen days in Capt. Downer's Co. of Walbridge's Reg't. as they marched 53 miles to Castleton, VT in response to an alarm there. Obviously, Perry was not present at the surrender of Gen. Charles Cornwallis in Yorktown, VA on 19 Oct 1781. Perry's last documented service in the American Revolutionary War was in Sep 1782, in which he served for four days in Capt. Isaac Andrews Co. who assisted the Sheriff in Windham Co., VT.
