Perry County lies in the extreme Eastern portion of the state bordering the Mississippi River. It was created from Ste. Genevieve District in 1821. Many of these early settlers came from the East from such states as: Pennsylvania, Kentucky, and North Carolina. Since these families and other arrived here before the Louisiana Purchase, they received large influx of settlers headed West. It is surrounded by the counties of: Bollinger, Cape Girardeau, Madison, Ste. Genevieve and St. Francois. The deeds within this book start with the creation of the county in 1821 but many have earlier dates because they were not officially recorded until after it was carved off of Ste, Genevieve.
