Judging from the names in your Query (Warren and Crittendon in addition to the given name Peter), my suspicion is that you are speaking of a descendant of Peter Perkins of Henry County, Virginia - definately among the most interested Perkins. Peter Perkins descended from the Nicholas Perkins family of Henrico Co VA. He and his brothers, Nicholas and Constant, moved to the area of Virginia that is now Henry County about 1760/65 - then Pittsylvania County. Peter became a militia officer and county justice. During the Revolutionary War, his unit was called out to support General Green during the Battle of Guilford Courthouse. The battle ended in a draw with both sides claiming victory. The Americans withdrew as planned while a little farther north, the beginning of a trap was being set. As suspected, the British left Guilford and headed for the York River in Virginia where they expected to be reinforced and re-equipped. As you know, this was where they lost their largest Army of the Revolution and the war. After the Battle of Guilford Courthouse, Peter Perkins had the wounded transported to his house in Henry County. When space ran out there, they were transported to the homes of his brothers, Nicholas and Constant, and to that of a neighbor, William Harrison. Here the Perkins and their neighbors cared for the sick and wounded until they were able to leave. The home of Peter Perkins, "Berry Hill," is still standing in the hills of Henry County, VA. Peter Perkins also began an iron manufacturing business in Stokes County, North Carolina, across the border from his Virginia home. The old Moratock Furnace that he built is still standing beside the Dan River, a few miles from Danbury, the county seat of Stokes County. Peter Perkins, or his son, also Peter, may have moved to Stokes County. Good hunting . . . if this is your family, you will be pleased to learn about them. Joyce Browning Fairfax County, Virginia
