Dear Alice, Thanks for answering. What I would like to know is if anyone has ever found another son for Capt. Purifoy other than Thomas, Jr. Thomas, Jr. only had girls from this article in Adventurers of Purse and Person, pages 498-502. This means there are no male heirs of Capt. Purifoy to carry on the name from his line. The article footnote #20 says that Nicholas who came to NC has many descendants southward of NC. SO is he our ancestor? I have Tillman Dixon Peurifoy who married Louisa Bird and they both died in Saluda, SC. He was born either in NC or GA but they met in Monticello, FL. I have their marriage certificate of 1833 from Jefferson County, FL. From Alma Burgamy's papers, he was the s/o WIlliam and Mary Brothers but in an interview after he retired he said his father was John. This from the Christian Advocate. I do not know which issue. Tillman was a Methodist Circuit rider. Thanks again for answering and I'll share all I have.Terry
