He also was involved in the earliest plans for a railroad in Texas. He was offered the position of Secretary of the Treasury of the Republic of Texas in 1839, but declined. James was also the executor of the will of Stephen F. Austin〔Letter of H.N. Cleveland, San Filipe de Austin, to James F. Perry, Executor of S.F. Austin, November 14, 1838〕 (Emily Austin's brother), a distinction that directly involved him in land distribution, maps, and early Texas colonial affairs. A court case related to titles of land was at one time filed and even appealed by Sam Houston against James Franklin Perry in his capacity as executor for Stephen F. Austin.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sam Houston, Apellant, vs. James F. Perry, Executor )〕 James Franklin Perry and his son Henry each died from yellow fever〔http://www.lib.utexas.edu/taro〕 on September 13, 1853.
