Notes:
 Beverly B. Perkinson (1827-1894)2 was listed as a farmer in the 1850 US Census, and as a Miller in the 1860 US Census.
The 1870 Petersburg city directory listed his occupation as a druggst, but it didn't say which drugstore he worked at.1

The 1882 directory listed him as a druggist at the Warner L. Baylor drug store at 263 Old Street. Then the 1886 directory listed him as having his own drugstore. For the next few years, he continued to run his own store, although the location seemed to move around a lot. 1

Perkins passed away in 18942, which ended his drug store.
