There are lots of hits on the surname Perrin in the VA Library website. This link in particular deals with land patents (pre-Revolutionary for the most part; after the Revolution these land transactions were called grants, not patents). In some of my colonial research, I found that the surname Perrin was a given name for a Farrar male in or near Goochland Co., VA. http://image.vtls.com/collections/cc_archive.html#gene I didn't try for Atkinson (and variant spellings).
