revolutionary war flag “According to family tradition, in which facts are corroborated by various descendants, Lt. Phillip Perry he was shot down in Shaftsbury, 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, VT” (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.
