Notes for Francis PEROT
Francis Perot was apprenticed "to learn the art and mystery of brewing," with Thomas and Joseph Morris; his indenture showing that he paid to them $1,000, previous to entering upon his apprenticeship, and was to serve five years without compensation. This was in 1812. Soon after the close of his apprenticeship, he started a malt house and brewery on Vine street, between Third and Fourth streets, the present location of the establishment that still bears his name, and a year later, 1819, took his brother, William S. Perot, into partnership, under the firm name of Francis & William S. Perot. In 1823 he married Elizabeth Marshall, daughter of his old employer, Thomas Morris, and the latter and his son, Anthony S., who had been operating the old Morris brewery, founded by Anthony Morris in 1687, soon after gave up business at the old place on Second street and turned the business over to the Perot firm. The Perot brothers carried on brewing until 1850, when they abandoned that branch of the business and turned their attention entirely to malting. Francis retired from the business in 1868, and was succeeded by the firm of Francis Perot's Sons, which some years ago became incorporated under the name of Francis Perot's Sons Company, who continued a business founded by the ancestors of the leading members of the firm over two centuries before. T. Morris Perot, of the present firm, represents the eighth generation in descent from the founder of the firm.
