Hi I was born and raised in Perquimans County, and I have never heard of Warwick in Perquimans County That dont mean that it is not there, but I am 63 and never heard my grandfather/grandmother mention that name. If someone finds anything out about Warwick. Please let me know. batman@cconnect.net Sidney ----- Original Message ----- From: John Collins <johnc@datalinkc.com> To: <NCPERQUI-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: 17 January, 2000 6:11 PM Subject: Re: [NCPERQUI] Warwick North Carolina > Having checked my North Carolina County Maps, all I can come up with is a > Warwick Creek that forms most of the boundary between Chowan and Gates > counties.
