Perronet, Charles (c. 1719–1776)

Charles was a son of Vincent Perronet and Charity (Goodhew) Perronet. When his family aligned with Methodism in the mid-1740s, Charles became a traveling preacher, helping to form the Methodist society in Dublin. Like his brother Edward, Charles was estranged from the Wesley brothers by the mid-1750s through his advocacy of separation from the Church of England. He spent his later years in Canterbury with his brother. See Atmore, Memorial, 327–35; Batty, Perronet; DEB, 876; and Vickers, Dictionary, 270.
