IMPORTANT: 1786 is only an estimate for his year of birth based on ages on censuses and his death record. Because findagrave.com does not have an option for entering "circa" or "about" for estimated dates, I had to key in 1786. Please do not record that as his definitive year of birth.
Stephen Perrow, Jr., son of Stephen and Elizabeth Fleming Perrow, was born circa 1786 in Campbell County, Virginia, where he was married on July 8, 1805 (date of bond) to Dorothy ("Dolly") Cox, daughter of Benjamin and Susannah North Cox. On December 14, 1807, Dollie Perrow received eighty-two acres of the 367 acre tract on Opossum Creek in Campbell County that was owned by her late father. This was recorded in "Campbell County, Virginia Will Book 2," pages 346-47.
Stephen was a farmer in Campbell County and is also said to have owned a horse racing track. A cousin, Daniel Battersby Perrow, owned "Race Track Field" near Rustburg, the seat of Campbell County. Horse racing was a favorite pasttime among the prominent planters during this period.
The following was found and typed by Mrs. Elizabeth Stone Perrow (1881-1973) during her genealogy research:
"Lynchburg Press" 5 Jan 1815 (Campbell County, Va.)
Marble Quarry--
The subscriber has an excellent Marble Quarry to rent or lease. It contains marble of various colors. The rock [is] very easy to raise. The terms may be known by applying to the subscriber on Beaver Creek 7 miles from Lynchburg.
January 5, 1815---Stephen Perrow"
Elizabeth Stone Perrow found the following article from the June 1, 1821 issue of "Lynchburg Press":
"Departed this life on Tuesday the 29th inst. after a long and painful illness, Mrs. Dolly Perrow, wife of Mr. Stephen Perrow of this County. Mrs. Perrow naturally possessed an amiable temper and disposition, and was respected by all who knew her and has left behind her numerous friends with a husband and 10 children to be-moan her loss."
According to "Marriages and Deaths from Lynchburg, Virginia Newspapers 1794-1836," compiled by Lucy Harrison Miller Baber, Dolly Perrow died May 29, 1821. She must have been about thirty years old, for her parents were married in 1790 and she was apparently only about fourteen years of age when she married Stephen Perrow. Both of the aforementioned articles mentioned ten children, but only the names of nine have been determined. Perhaps the tenth one was a child who died young.
On February 26, 1827 (bond date) in Campbell County, Stephen Perrow married Amy A. Green, born about 1805, who is said to have come from Williamsburg, Virginia, according to a typescript on the Perrow family by an unidentified person, and been the daughter of an Amy Ashby.
Stephen died March 21, 1860 in Campbell County, and his estate was appraised April 19 of that year, recorded in "Campbell County, Virginia Will Book 12," page 271. His estate was purchased by several sons and grandsons. The administrator of Stephen's estate was his eldest son, Captain William C. Perrow.
Stephen's second wife Amy must have died about three years later, for she wrote her will on July 9, 1863 and it was probated in October of that year, recorded in "Campbell County, Virginia Will Book 13," page 139.
Stephen Perrow and his first wife, Dolly Cox, had nine children whose names are known, but her obituary mentioned ten. He and Amy Green had four more children, as follows:
1. Ferdinand Anderson Perrow, M.D., born January 2, 1828; died August 14, 1873; married December 25, 1856 in Campbell County to Catherine "Mitchell" Payne, born March 7, 1836; died May 21, 1905, daughter of Capt. Philip Mathews Payne and Mary E. Mitchell Payne. Ferdinand was a beloved physician who resided at Marysville, Campbell County.
2. Isabella F. Perrow, born about 1833; married December 25, 1859 in Campbell County to John Alexander Payne, son of Capt. Philip Mathews Payne and his first wife, Eliza Cobbs.
3. Thomas B. Perrow, born about 1836; married May 24, 1866 in Bedford County, Virginia to Hattie M. Lowry; said to have settled in Missouri and to have died before 1876.
4. Anna Melinda Perrow, born March 21, 1837 in Campbell County, Virginia; died June 24, 1904 in Frederick, Comanche County, Oklahoma (then Indian Territory); married December 17, 1867 in Campbell County to Robert Alexander Murrell, born July 25, 1836; died July 28, 1906 at Frederick, Oklahoma.
I have a copy of a portrait of Stephen Perrow, Jr., which I will be glad to copy for others if they let me know.
The following notes, and all notes in capital letters throughout the Perrow information, are those of William Charlie ("Billy") Perrow (1947- ) of Spout Spring, Virginia, who graciously supplied me with his Family Tree Maker database when I started putting my family tree on computer in December, 1996. He is a great-great-grandson of Stephen Washington Perrow, one of the sons of Stephen Perrow, Jr. by his first wife Dorothy.

Petitions
Robert Wright, Campbell County, to Virginia Assembly, 1816
To the Honorable General Assembly of Virginia,
The Petition of Robert Wright a free man of Color resident in the County of Campbell respectfully sheweth:
That your petitioner in the year 1806 in pursuance of a licence obtained for that purpose from the Clerk of Campbell County was married by a certain William Heath, a regularly licensed Minister of the Gospel, to a certain Mary Godsey, a free white woman—That since the said Intermarriage your petitioner hath allways demeaned himself towards the Said Mary as a kind and affectionate Husband—and for several years enjoyed great domestic comfort, and felicity in her society—That sometime in the year 1814 the said Mary became acquainted with a certain William Arthur a free white man who by his artful and insidious attentions entirely supplanted your petitioner in her affections—That on the 14th day of January 1815 the said Mary unknown to your petitioner secretly eloped with the said William Arthur carrying with her a negro girl and other property belonging to your petitioner—That on their route as is believed to the western country they were overtaken in the Town of Liberty, your petitioners property recovered, and the said Mary prevailed upon to return to the Home, and the Husband she had so ungratefully and cruelly abandoned—That notwithstanding this infidelity on the part of the said Mary, your petitioner after her return still continued to her that affection and protection which she had of right forfeited, and hoped that time, and a course of affectionate [care] on his part would reconcile her to her Situation and restore her to Happiness—But in this just expectation your petitioner was disappointed. That the Said Mary on the 30th day of November 1815 again Secretly, and unknown to your petitioner eloped with the said William Arthur, and as your petitioner is credibly informed and verily beleives is now living in a state of adultery with the Said Arthur in the Town of Nashville, & State of Tennessee—That your petitioner is advised that although the Law inflicts a penalty on the minister of the Gospel who shall marry a white person with a negro or mulatto, and subjects the white person so married to fine, and imprisonment, yet such marriage is to all intents and purposes valid and bindin between the parties—Your Petitioner under the circumstances herein allready set forth prays your Honorable Body for the passage of an act divorcing him from his said Wife Mary and as in duty bound &c &c

More About Abraham Fleming:
Comment 1: The fact that he had a son Tarleton Fleming gives credence to the possibility that his father was connected with the family of Charles Fleming (1659-1717) and Susanna Tarleton of New Kent Co., VA. No evidence has been found for David Fleming's origins.
Comment 2: A Fleming researcher and descendant of Abraham thinks that Frances' father's name was Tarleton Martin, which may explain how their son Tarleton got his name. This seems coincidental in light of an earlier Susanna Tarleton Fleming in New Kent Co., VA.
Comment 3: Two children of Abraham and Fanny, Abraham, Jr. and Elizabeth, married other Flemings, children of John and Elizabeth Fleming Fleming of Iredell Co., NC. Their kinship to the David and Abraham Fleming family is uncertain.

iii. Stephen Renno, born Abt. 1715.
Stephen Perrow, Jr., son of Stephen and Elizabeth Fleming Perrow, was born circa 1786 in Campbell County, Virginia, where he was married on July 8, 1805 (date of bond) to Dorothy ("Dolly") Cox, daughter of Benjamin and Susannah North Cox. On December 14, 1807, Dollie Perrow received eighty-two acres of the 367 acre tract on Opossum Creek in Campbell County that was owned by her late father. This was recorded in "Campbell County, Virginia Will Book 2," pages 346-47.
Stephen was a farmer in Campbell County and is also said to have owned a horse racing track. A cousin, Daniel Battersby Perrow, owned "Race Track Field" near Rustburg, the seat of Campbell County. Horse racing was a favorite pasttime among the prominent planters during this period.
The following was found and typed by Mrs. Elizabeth Stone Perrow (1881-1973) during her genealogy research:
"Lynchburg Press" 5 Jan 1815 (Campbell County, Va.)
Marble Quarry--
The subscriber has an excellent Marble Quarry to rent or lease. It contains marble of various colors. The rock [is] very easy to raise. The terms may be known by applying to the subscriber on Beaver Creek 7 miles from Lynchburg.
January 5, 1815---Stephen Perrow"
Elizabeth Stone Perrow found the following article from the June 1, 1821 issue of "Lynchburg Press":
"Departed this life on Tuesday the 29th inst. after a long and painful illness, Mrs. Dolly Perrow, wife of Mr. Stephen Perrow of this County. Mrs. Perrow naturally possessed an amiable temper and disposition, and was respected by all who knew her and has left behind her numerous friends with a husband and 10 children to be-moan her loss."
According to "Marriages and Deaths from Lynchburg, Virginia Newspapers 1794-1836," compiled by Lucy Harrison Miller Baber, Dolly Perrow died May 29, 1821. She must have been about thirty years old, for her parents were married in 1790 and she was apparently only about fourteen years of age when she married Stephen Perrow. Both of the aforementioned articles mentioned ten children, but only the names of nine have been determined. Perhaps the tenth one was a child who died young.
On February 26, 1827 (bond date) in Campbell County, Stephen Perrow married Amy A. Green, born about 1805, who is said to have come from Williamsburg, Virginia, according to a typescript on the Perrow family by an unidentified person, and been the daughter of an Amy Ashby.
Stephen died March 21, 1860 in Campbell County, and his estate was appraised April 19 of that year, recorded in "Campbell County, Virginia Will Book 12," page 271. His estate was purchased by several sons and grandsons. The administrator of Stephen's estate was his eldest son, Captain William C. Perrow.
Stephen's second wife Amy must have died about three years later, for she wrote her will on July 9, 1863 and it was probated in October of that year, recorded in "Campbell County, Virginia Will Book 13," page 139.
Stephen Perrow and his first wife, Dolly Cox, had nine children whose names are known, but her obituary mentioned ten. He and Amy Green had four more children, as follows:
1. Ferdinand Anderson Perrow, M.D., born January 2, 1828; died August 14, 1873; married December 25, 1856 in Campbell County to Catherine "Mitchell" Payne, born March 7, 1836; died May 21, 1905, daughter of Capt. Philip Mathews Payne and Mary E. Mitchell Payne. Ferdinand was a beloved physician who resided at Marysville, Campbell County.
2. Isabella F. Perrow, born about 1833; married December 25, 1859 in Campbell County to John Alexander Payne, son of Capt. Philip Mathews Payne and his first wife, Eliza Cobbs.
3. Thomas B. Perrow, born about 1836; married May 24, 1866 in Bedford County, Virginia to Hattie M. Lowry; said to have settled in Missouri and to have died before 1876.
4. Anna Melinda Perrow, born March 21, 1837 in Campbell County, Virginia; died June 24, 1904 in Frederick, Comanche County, Oklahoma (then Indian Territory); married December 17, 1867 in Campbell County to Robert Alexander Murrell, born July 25, 1836; died July 28, 1906 at Frederick, Oklahoma.
I have a copy of a portrait of Stephen Perrow, Jr., which I will be glad to copy for others if they let me know.
The following notes, and all notes in capital letters throughout the Perrow information, are those of William Charlie ("Billy") Perrow (1947- ) of Spout Spring, Virginia, who graciously supplied me with his Family Tree Maker database when I started putting my family tree on computer in December, 1996. He is a great-great-grandson of Stephen Washington Perrow, one of the sons of Stephen Perrow, Jr. by his first wife Dorothy.

Petitions
Robert Wright, Campbell County, to Virginia Assembly, 1816
To the Honorable General Assembly of Virginia,
The Petition of Robert Wright a free man of Color resident in the County of Campbell respectfully sheweth:
That your petitioner in the year 1806 in pursuance of a licence obtained for that purpose from the Clerk of Campbell County was married by a certain William Heath, a regularly licensed Minister of the Gospel, to a certain Mary Godsey, a free white woman—That since the said Intermarriage your petitioner hath allways demeaned himself towards the Said Mary as a kind and affectionate Husband—and for several years enjoyed great domestic comfort, and felicity in her society—That sometime in the year 1814 the said Mary became acquainted with a certain William Arthur a free white man who by his artful and insidious attentions entirely supplanted your petitioner in her affections—That on the 14th day of January 1815 the said Mary unknown to your petitioner secretly eloped with the said William Arthur carrying with her a negro girl and other property belonging to your petitioner—That on their route as is believed to the western country they were overtaken in the Town of Liberty, your petitioners property recovered, and the said Mary prevailed upon to return to the Home, and the Husband she had so ungratefully and cruelly abandoned—That notwithstanding this infidelity on the part of the said Mary, your petitioner after her return still continued to her that affection and protection which she had of right forfeited, and hoped that time, and a course of affectionate [care] on his part would reconcile her to her Situation and restore her to Happiness—But in this just expectation your petitioner was disappointed. That the Said Mary on the 30th day of November 1815 again Secretly, and unknown to your petitioner eloped with the said William Arthur, and as your petitioner is credibly informed and verily beleives is now living in a state of adultery with the Said Arthur in the Town of Nashville, & State of Tennessee—That your petitioner is advised that although the Law inflicts a penalty on the minister of the Gospel who shall marry a white person with a negro or mulatto, and subjects the white person so married to fine, and imprisonment, yet such marriage is to all intents and purposes valid and bindin between the parties—Your Petitioner under the circumstances herein allready set forth prays your Honorable Body for the passage of an act divorcing him from his said Wife Mary and as in duty bound &c &c

More About Abraham Fleming:
Comment 1: The fact that he had a son Tarleton Fleming gives credence to the possibility that his father was connected with the family of Charles Fleming (1659-1717) and Susanna Tarleton of New Kent Co., VA. No evidence has been found for David Fleming's origins.
Comment 2: A Fleming researcher and descendant of Abraham thinks that Frances' father's name was Tarleton Martin, which may explain how their son Tarleton got his name. This seems coincidental in light of an earlier Susanna Tarleton Fleming in New Kent Co., VA.
Comment 3: Two children of Abraham and Fanny, Abraham, Jr. and Elizabeth, married other Flemings, children of John and Elizabeth Fleming Fleming of Iredell Co., NC. Their kinship to the David and Abraham Fleming family is uncertain.

IMPORTANT: 1786 is only an estimate for his year of birth based on ages on censuses and his death record. Because findagrave.com does not have an option for entering "circa" or "about" for estimated dates, I had to key in 1786. Please do not record that as his definitive year of birth.
Stephen Perrow, Jr., son of Stephen and Elizabeth Fleming Perrow, was born circa 1786 in Campbell County, Virginia, where he was married on July 8, 1805 (date of bond) to Dorothy ("Dolly") Cox, daughter of Benjamin and Susannah North Cox. On December 14, 1807, Dollie Perrow received eighty-two acres of the 367 acre tract on Opossum Creek in Campbell County that was owned by her late father. This was recorded in "Campbell County, Virginia Will Book 2," pages 346-47.
Stephen was a farmer in Campbell County and is also said to have owned a horse racing track. A cousin, Daniel Battersby Perrow, owned "Race Track Field" near Rustburg, the seat of Campbell County. Horse racing was a favorite pasttime among the prominent planters during this period.
The following was found and typed by Mrs. Elizabeth Stone Perrow (1881-1973) during her genealogy research:
"Lynchburg Press" 5 Jan 1815 (Campbell County, Va.)
Marble Quarry--
The subscriber has an excellent Marble Quarry to rent or lease. It contains marble of various colors. The rock [is] very easy to raise. The terms may be known by applying to the subscriber on Beaver Creek 7 miles from Lynchburg.
January 5, 1815---Stephen Perrow"
Elizabeth Stone Perrow found the following article from the June 1, 1821 issue of "Lynchburg Press":
"Departed this life on Tuesday the 29th inst. after a long and painful illness, Mrs. Dolly Perrow, wife of Mr. Stephen Perrow of this County. Mrs. Perrow naturally possessed an amiable temper and disposition, and was respected by all who knew her and has left behind her numerous friends with a husband and 10 children to be-moan her loss."
According to "Marriages and Deaths from Lynchburg, Virginia Newspapers 1794-1836," compiled by Lucy Harrison Miller Baber, Dolly Perrow died May 29, 1821. She must have been about thirty years old, for her parents were married in 1790 and she was apparently only about fourteen years of age when she married Stephen Perrow. Both of the aforementioned articles mentioned ten children, but only the names of nine have been determined. Perhaps the tenth one was a child who died young.
On February 26, 1827 (bond date) in Campbell County, Stephen Perrow married Amy A. Green, born about 1805, who is said to have come from Williamsburg, Virginia, according to a typescript on the Perrow family by an unidentified person, and been the daughter of an Amy Ashby.
Stephen died March 21, 1860 in Campbell County, and his estate was appraised April 19 of that year, recorded in "Campbell County, Virginia Will Book 12," page 271. His estate was purchased by several sons and grandsons. The administrator of Stephen's estate was his eldest son, Captain William C. Perrow.
Stephen's second wife Amy must have died about three years later, for she wrote her will on July 9, 1863 and it was probated in October of that year, recorded in "Campbell County, Virginia Will Book 13," page 139.
Stephen Perrow and his first wife, Dolly Cox, had nine children whose names are known, but her obituary mentioned ten. He and Amy Green had four more children, as follows:
1. Ferdinand Anderson Perrow, M.D., born January 2, 1828; died August 14, 1873; married December 25, 1856 in Campbell County to Catherine "Mitchell" Payne, born March 7, 1836; died May 21, 1905, daughter of Capt. Philip Mathews Payne and Mary E. Mitchell Payne. Ferdinand was a beloved physician who resided at Marysville, Campbell County.
2. Isabella F. Perrow, born about 1833; married December 25, 1859 in Campbell County to John Alexander Payne, son of Capt. Philip Mathews Payne and his first wife, Eliza Cobbs.
3. Thomas B. Perrow, born about 1836; married May 24, 1866 in Bedford County, Virginia to Hattie M. Lowry; said to have settled in Missouri and to have died before 1876.
4. Anna Melinda Perrow, born March 21, 1837 in Campbell County, Virginia; died June 24, 1904 in Frederick, Comanche County, Oklahoma (then Indian Territory); married December 17, 1867 in Campbell County to Robert Alexander Murrell, born July 25, 1836; died July 28, 1906 at Frederick, Oklahoma.
I have a copy of a portrait of Stephen Perrow, Jr., which I will be glad to copy for others if they let me know.
The following notes, and all notes in capital letters throughout the Perrow information, are those of William Charlie ("Billy") Perrow (1947- ) of Spout Spring, Virginia, who graciously supplied me with his Family Tree Maker database when I started putting my family tree on computer in December, 1996. He is a great-great-grandson of Stephen Washington Perrow, one of the sons of Stephen Perrow, Jr. by his first wife Dorothy.

Petitions
Robert Wright, Campbell County, to Virginia Assembly, 1816
To the Honorable General Assembly of Virginia,
The Petition of Robert Wright a free man of Color resident in the County of Campbell respectfully sheweth:
That your petitioner in the year 1806 in pursuance of a licence obtained for that purpose from the Clerk of Campbell County was married by a certain William Heath, a regularly licensed Minister of the Gospel, to a certain Mary Godsey, a free white woman—That since the said Intermarriage your petitioner hath allways demeaned himself towards the Said Mary as a kind and affectionate Husband—and for several years enjoyed great domestic comfort, and felicity in her society—That sometime in the year 1814 the said Mary became acquainted with a certain William Arthur a free white man who by his artful and insidious attentions entirely supplanted your petitioner in her affections—That on the 14th day of January 1815 the said Mary unknown to your petitioner secretly eloped with the said William Arthur carrying with her a negro girl and other property belonging to your petitioner—That on their route as is believed to the western country they were overtaken in the Town of Liberty, your petitioners property recovered, and the said Mary prevailed upon to return to the Home, and the Husband she had so ungratefully and cruelly abandoned—That notwithstanding this infidelity on the part of the said Mary, your petitioner after her return still continued to her that affection and protection which she had of right forfeited, and hoped that time, and a course of affectionate [care] on his part would reconcile her to her Situation and restore her to Happiness—But in this just expectation your petitioner was disappointed. That the Said Mary on the 30th day of November 1815 again Secretly, and unknown to your petitioner eloped with the said William Arthur, and as your petitioner is credibly informed and verily beleives is now living in a state of adultery with the Said Arthur in the Town of Nashville, & State of Tennessee—That your petitioner is advised that although the Law inflicts a penalty on the minister of the Gospel who shall marry a white person with a negro or mulatto, and subjects the white person so married to fine, and imprisonment, yet such marriage is to all intents and purposes valid and bindin between the parties—Your Petitioner under the circumstances herein allready set forth prays your Honorable Body for the passage of an act divorcing him from his said Wife Mary and as in duty bound &c &c

More About Abraham Fleming:
Comment 1: The fact that he had a son Tarleton Fleming gives credence to the possibility that his father was connected with the family of Charles Fleming (1659-1717) and Susanna Tarleton of New Kent Co., VA. No evidence has been found for David Fleming's origins.
Comment 2: A Fleming researcher and descendant of Abraham thinks that Frances' father's name was Tarleton Martin, which may explain how their son Tarleton got his name. This seems coincidental in light of an earlier Susanna Tarleton Fleming in New Kent Co., VA.
Comment 3: Two children of Abraham and Fanny, Abraham, Jr. and Elizabeth, married other Flemings, children of John and Elizabeth Fleming Fleming of Iredell Co., NC. Their kinship to the David and Abraham Fleming family is uncertain.

iii. Stephen Renno, born Abt. 1715.
Stephen Perrow, Jr., son of Stephen and Elizabeth Fleming Perrow, was born circa 1786 in Campbell County, Virginia, where he was married on July 8, 1805 (date of bond) to Dorothy ("Dolly") Cox, daughter of Benjamin and Susannah North Cox. On December 14, 1807, Dollie Perrow received eighty-two acres of the 367 acre tract on Opossum Creek in Campbell County that was owned by her late father. This was recorded in "Campbell County, Virginia Will Book 2," pages 346-47.
Stephen was a farmer in Campbell County and is also said to have owned a horse racing track. A cousin, Daniel Battersby Perrow, owned "Race Track Field" near Rustburg, the seat of Campbell County. Horse racing was a favorite pasttime among the prominent planters during this period.
The following was found and typed by Mrs. Elizabeth Stone Perrow (1881-1973) during her genealogy research:
"Lynchburg Press" 5 Jan 1815 (Campbell County, Va.)
Marble Quarry--
The subscriber has an excellent Marble Quarry to rent or lease. It contains marble of various colors. The rock [is] very easy to raise. The terms may be known by applying to the subscriber on Beaver Creek 7 miles from Lynchburg.
January 5, 1815---Stephen Perrow"
Elizabeth Stone Perrow found the following article from the June 1, 1821 issue of "Lynchburg Press":
"Departed this life on Tuesday the 29th inst. after a long and painful illness, Mrs. Dolly Perrow, wife of Mr. Stephen Perrow of this County. Mrs. Perrow naturally possessed an amiable temper and disposition, and was respected by all who knew her and has left behind her numerous friends with a husband and 10 children to be-moan her loss."
According to "Marriages and Deaths from Lynchburg, Virginia Newspapers 1794-1836," compiled by Lucy Harrison Miller Baber, Dolly Perrow died May 29, 1821. She must have been about thirty years old, for her parents were married in 1790 and she was apparently only about fourteen years of age when she married Stephen Perrow. Both of the aforementioned articles mentioned ten children, but only the names of nine have been determined. Perhaps the tenth one was a child who died young.
On February 26, 1827 (bond date) in Campbell County, Stephen Perrow married Amy A. Green, born about 1805, who is said to have come from Williamsburg, Virginia, according to a typescript on the Perrow family by an unidentified person, and been the daughter of an Amy Ashby.
Stephen died March 21, 1860 in Campbell County, and his estate was appraised April 19 of that year, recorded in "Campbell County, Virginia Will Book 12," page 271. His estate was purchased by several sons and grandsons. The administrator of Stephen's estate was his eldest son, Captain William C. Perrow.
Stephen's second wife Amy must have died about three years later, for she wrote her will on July 9, 1863 and it was probated in October of that year, recorded in "Campbell County, Virginia Will Book 13," page 139.
Stephen Perrow and his first wife, Dolly Cox, had nine children whose names are known, but her obituary mentioned ten. He and Amy Green had four more children, as follows:
1. Ferdinand Anderson Perrow, M.D., born January 2, 1828; died August 14, 1873; married December 25, 1856 in Campbell County to Catherine "Mitchell" Payne, born March 7, 1836; died May 21, 1905, daughter of Capt. Philip Mathews Payne and Mary E. Mitchell Payne. Ferdinand was a beloved physician who resided at Marysville, Campbell County.
2. Isabella F. Perrow, born about 1833; married December 25, 1859 in Campbell County to John Alexander Payne, son of Capt. Philip Mathews Payne and his first wife, Eliza Cobbs.
3. Thomas B. Perrow, born about 1836; married May 24, 1866 in Bedford County, Virginia to Hattie M. Lowry; said to have settled in Missouri and to have died before 1876.
4. Anna Melinda Perrow, born March 21, 1837 in Campbell County, Virginia; died June 24, 1904 in Frederick, Comanche County, Oklahoma (then Indian Territory); married December 17, 1867 in Campbell County to Robert Alexander Murrell, born July 25, 1836; died July 28, 1906 at Frederick, Oklahoma.
I have a copy of a portrait of Stephen Perrow, Jr., which I will be glad to copy for others if they let me know.
The following notes, and all notes in capital letters throughout the Perrow information, are those of William Charlie ("Billy") Perrow (1947- ) of Spout Spring, Virginia, who graciously supplied me with his Family Tree Maker database when I started putting my family tree on computer in December, 1996.

Petitions
Robert Wright, Campbell County, to Virginia Assembly, 1816
To the Honorable General Assembly of Virginia,
The Petition of Robert Wright a free man of Color resident in the County of Campbell respectfully sheweth:
That your petitioner in the year 1806 in pursuance of a licence obtained for that purpose from the Clerk of Campbell County was married by a certain William Heath, a regularly licensed Minister of the Gospel, to a certain Mary Godsey, a free white woman—That since the said Intermarriage your petitioner hath allways demeaned himself towards the Said Mary as a kind and affectionate Husband—and for several years enjoyed great domestic comfort, and felicity in her society—That sometime in the year 1814 the said Mary became acquainted with a certain William Arthur a free white man who by his artful and insidious attentions entirely supplanted your petitioner in her affections—That on the 14th day of January 1815 the said Mary unknown to your petitioner secretly eloped with the said William Arthur carrying with her a negro girl and other property belonging to your petitioner—That on their route as is believed to the western country they were overtaken in the Town of Liberty, your petitioners property recovered, and the said Mary prevailed upon to return to the Home, and the Husband she had so ungratefully and cruelly abandoned—That notwithstanding this infidelity on the part of the said Mary, your petitioner after her return still continued to her that affection and protection which she had of right forfeited, and hoped that time, and a course of affectionate [care] on his part would reconcile her to her Situation and restore her to Happiness—But in this just expectation your petitioner was disappointed. That the Said Mary on the 30th day of November 1815 again Secretly, and unknown to your petitioner eloped with the said William Arthur, and as your petitioner is credibly informed and verily beleives is now living in a state of adultery with the Said Arthur in the Town of Nashville, & State of Tennessee—That your petitioner is advised that although the Law inflicts a penalty on the minister of the Gospel who shall marry a white person with a negro or mulatto, and subjects the white person so married to fine, and imprisonment, yet such marriage is to all intents and purposes valid and bindin between the parties—Your Petitioner under the circumstances herein allready set forth prays your Honorable Body for the passage of an act divorcing him from his said Wife Mary and as in duty bound &c &c

More About Abraham Fleming:
Comment 1: The fact that he had a son Tarleton Fleming gives credence to the possibility that his father was connected with the family of Charles Fleming (1659-1717) and Susanna Tarleton of New Kent Co., VA. No evidence has been found for David Fleming's origins.

Comment 3: Two children of Abraham and Fanny, Abraham, Jr. and Elizabeth, married other Flemings, children of John and Elizabeth Fleming Fleming of Iredell Co., NC. Their kinship to the David and Abraham Fleming family is uncertain.
