The third of five children, Perry was born in the Germantown neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to the Rev. James DeWolf Perry II and Elizabeth Russell Tyson. His father was rector of Calvary Church in Germantown; he was also a descendant of Captain Christopher Raymond Perry, (who was the father of Commodores Oliver Hazard Perry and Matthew C. Perry), and Senators William Bradford and James De Wolf, and was great great grandson of Lieutenant Benjamin Bourne who served in the American Revolution.
After graduating from Germantown Academy in 1887, he matriculated at the University of Pennsylvania and Harvard University. In 1895 he earned a Bachelor of Divinity from the Episcopal Theological School. Perry was ordained a deacon by Bishop William Lawrence on June 9, 1895, and a priest on February 18, 1896.

During the Spanish–American War, he was chaplain of the 6th Massachusetts Infantry from 1898 to 1904. In 1904 he became rector of St. Paul's Church in New Haven. In 1908 he married Edith Dean Weir (daughter of John Ferguson Weir). She was an author and painter of miniatures. They had three children: James DeWolf, John Weir, and Beatrice Weir.
