Jefferson Davis was held prisoner there after the Civil War. It was in Elizabeth City County, now the city of Hampton VA. Its still there. I can't find Perryville VA. There is a Sperryville in Rappahannock County. Not only is Fort Monroe still there, but there is a wonderful hotel out there on Old Point Comfort. My wonderful wife and I spent our wedding night at that hotel. I think I can remember that it was called the Chamberlain Hotel. There may not be a Perryville in Virginia, but there certainly was and is one in Kentucky. A very significant Civil War battle was fought there. Allan E.
