Micajah Perry

Micajah Perry (died 1753) was a British tobacco merchant and politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1727 to 1741.

He was the son of Richard Perry, merchant, of Leadenhall Street, London, and his wife Sarah Heysham.

Perry's father died in 1720 and his grandfather in 1721, and he inherited the family business.

[2] Perry became Lord Mayor of London for the year 1738 to 1739,[3] and laid the foundation of the Mansion House during his mayoralty, on 25 October 1739.

By 1743 Perry was suffering ill-health from a dropsy, and was in a condition which made his friends fear for his life.
