| Notes |
- In 1824 Peter Perry was elected to the 9th Parliament of Upper Canada representing Lennox and Addington Counties; and remained in office until 1836. After he was defeated in the election of 1836, he moved to Whitby, Ontario, where he established a general store and warehouses at the harbour on Windsor Bay. He also established a store at Port Perry on Lake Scugog; the town was named in honour of him. In 1849, Perry was elected in a by-election as a member of the Clear Grits. However, he became ill in early 1850. After a visit with Marshall Spring Bidwell in New York City in 1851, he died in Saratoga Springs, New York.
