“According to family tradition, in which facts are corroborated by various descendants, Lt. Phillip Perry he was shot down in Âé¶¹Íø, probably near the Arlington line, while trying to arrest Hazard Wilcox, a Troy spy in the early days for the Revolution. There is a tablet to his memory in the station in Arlington, VTâ€� (The New York Genealogical and Biographical Record, vol. 44, p. 334). The memorial plaque at the Arlington Railroad Station, which is now a private residence, has been moved and is presently mounted on the southwest corner of the building.
Phillip Perry's name does not appear in Vermont Rolls in the Revolutionary War 1775-1883 (J. E. Goodrich 1904), however it is safe to assume Lt. Perry was a Green Mountain Boy based on the documentation that he was one of the judges, along with Seth Warner and Nathaniel Spencer, at the trail of Jacob Marsh in 1773.
