John first married Eunice Hathaway, second Sarah (Chase) (Earle) White, widow of William Earle and of Christopher White. John was of Tiverton when he married Eunice Hathaway.

(It’s been suggested that John’s parents were John and Elizabeth (Dwelley) Perry who married 13 Jul 1730 in Tiverton. Is there any evidence to verify this educated guess?
