- after William Perry died, Isabella married George Menifie, who was the wealthiest man in the colony. He was an attorney who trafficked in land, tobacco and laborers and also a member of the Council. Isabella’s second son, Henry Perry, eventually married George Menife’s daughter and also was a member of the Council. (1)

[To Va. 1623 in the Samuel.... Returned to Eng. 4 Aug. 1636]. COMMENT: This seems to this writer to be an important clue. We may be able by research in St. Helen's Parish, London, to discover something further (death) of IZABELLA and the marriage to MARY, his third wife. (2)

I made a mini tree of what I believe are the ancestors of this family over in England. Because they use the same names repeatedly and don't list both parents in the birth records that I found, I had to use location and birth dates and make some guesses.I have been trying to find whether this George is the father of a William. William is not mentioned in his Last Will and Testament.
This George Mynefie might be the same person. George Mynefie
