Asa and Elizabeth had six children and according to tradition gave each one a farm. They had only one son to reach majurity - Theophilus W. Perdue. He joined Company I of the 30th Tennessee Infantry of the Confederate Army on the 22nd of November 1861 at Tyree Springs, Tennessee for 11 months. The Company was sent to the defense of Fort Donelson which fell to Union forces February of 1862. The only entry for Theophilus shows him absent without leave. In 1866 Asa Perdue deeded 971/2 acres of land to the "children of my son Theophilus Perdue". A memorial was erected by descendent of Theophilus in the Asa Perdue Cemetary.

At present, Asa Perdue's house and a portion of his estate are owned and occupied by descendents. Elizabeth died the 13th of April 1861. Asa died intestate before 1880. Both are buried in the family cemetary - their graves marked with field stones.
