Additional Comments:
Thomas Perdue may have been the son of Richard Perdue one of three early 
Perdues who settled in Henrico County (later Chesterfield)ca 1730. The name of 
Thomas' wife is not known. She must have died prior to January 1803 when Thomas 
made his Will. Thomas names six children in his Will. All were married but two 
youngest daughters Martha and Tabitha and no marriage record found to date for 
either. His son Thomas married twice first to Dicey Mann in 1801 and second to 
Lavinia Wyatt in 1810. His daughter Phebe married William Puckett in 1788 and 
Susannah married Stanton Blankenship in 1792. Finally Elizabeth Perdue married 
John Patram in Chesterfield in 1796 and was the mother of the grandson Archer 
Patram mentioned in Thomas' Will.
