Notations about his father, William Perdue, Jr.: “WILLIAM PERDUE was born 1735 in Henrico County, VA, and died Bef. 1800 in Montgomery County, VA. He married MORNING HALE (also known as Edith Powell). During an Indian uprising around 1774 many of the settlers went to the Blackwater River settlement in what is now Franklin County, but William stayed and served in the Montgomery County Militia during the Revolutionary War under the command of Captain John Tyler. There is evidence that after the revolution, around 1785, William Perdue left Wolf Creek after a run-in with George Pearis, and built a mill on the Mill Branch of the Bluestone.”...

From Giles County History: “William Perdue, son of William and Mary Hatchett Perdue was born about 1730 in Henrico, now Chesterfield County, Virginia. He settled in the far western section of Chesterfield County near the town of Skinquarter, on land adjacent to his father. William and his wife moved about 1761 to Amelia County. William and a group of other families, including the Belchers, Clays, and Baileys, migrated through Wood's Gap in Floyd County and on down the Little and New Rivers, settling on Wolf Creek around 1750. William Perdue built the mill on Mill Creek in what is now Narrows around 1755-1760. William sold land in Chesterfield County, Virginia 16 June 1761 to John Goode and signed the deed with his mark. It is known that his son, Daniel served in the Militia under Captain George Parrish in 1782. In 1787, Daniel and his parents moved to Franklin County, Virginia, where he married Happy Ward. Happy and Daniel had eight children. Daniel and Happy Perdue settled on a farm adjacent to his brother, Meshack Perdue.”..... Daniel died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound on July 2, 1810 in Franklin County. Happy Perdue remained there until her youngest daughter Ceilia was married, then she moved to Sumner, Co. TN where some of her older children settled.”….
