Additional Comments:
Josiah and brother John Perdue were sons of Richard Perdue. Richard Perdue 
shows up in the records of Henrico Co., VA as early as 1736. He purchased land 
on Worsham's Creek in 1753 and gave his son Josiah Perdue 100 acres of this 
land in 1773. Speculation Josiah Perdue married to a "Clay" and she was 
deceased when he wrote his Will.
