Shared note

Perryville was described as a post village on the west bank of the Tennessee River, a shipping place. This is the oldest town in Decatur County. It was selected in 1821 to serve as county seat for Perry County. Charles Miles, John Rasser, James Dickson, Charles Graham, W. S. Britt, and William Patterson were appointed to locate the county seat. Before being incorporated in 1825, it was known as Midtown Community. One of the first merchants was Samuel McClure. James M. and Curry Pettigrew of Armagh, Ireland came to Perryville in 1825 and ran a mercantile business.
