Estates United
The landed inheritance that later sustained the Pery family’s influence in Limerick was assembled through a succession of marriages connecting the Sexten, Pery, Stacpole, Twigg and Wray families. Susannah Sexten, who died in 1671, was the only daughter of Edmond Sexten and eventually inherited the property of his grandson, another Edmond. Her marriage to Edmond Pery of Croom brought the Sexten estates into the Pery family. Those lands included former religious property in and around Limerick, giving their descendants wealth, rents and a territorial position that would profoundly influence the city’s later development.
