He was my great4-grandfather and lived in Campbell Co., VA. Having had 14 children, his descendants are very prolific. Stephen was a planter, a large slaveholder (unfortunately), and a captain in the Virginia Militia. Stephen's father, Stephen Perrow, Sr. (1735-ca. 1791), born at the Manakintowne French Huguenot settlement in present-day Powhatan Co., VA, came from Buckingham Co., VA, to Campbell County about 1772.

I should mention that Ned's grandmother, Elizabeth Stone Perrow (1881-1973) of Pittsylvania Co., VA, an avid family historian, was the one who had labels engraved for this and her many other family portraits/photographs, and she labelled this one as "Stephen Perrow, Sr." However, since Stephen, Sr. died in 1791, long before photography was invented, and this appears to be a photograph, I believe it is safe to assume it is the Stephen Perrow, Jr. who married (1) Dolly Cox and (2) Amy A. Green, especially since this Stephen also had a son named Stephen Washington Perrow.
