James H. Purvis . 1812 South Carolina
I have a couple conflicting references to who was the wife of James H. Purvis born 1812 South Carolina, died abt. 1870 Marion Co. Mississippi. One researcher state she may have been Sarah “Sally" Allred another believes she may have been Sarah "Sally" Pace.Does anyone know for sure?
From another message forum---
I am looking for any information concerning Sarah Allred (b. 1814 in AL) who married James H. Purvis (b. 1808 SC). They may have had a child named Elizabeth Purvis (b. 1833) who married William S. Smith.
And
The only other information I can tell you is that Sarah Allred's parents were William Allred and Rachel Coultron or Coltrane. Sarah may have also gone by the name Sally. I have more information on the descendants of William Allred and Rachel Coultron if that will help. I can find records of the descendants, but none of Sarah Allred and James H. Purvis.

Another researcher sends me this --
Oh yeah, James Henry Purvis, Sr. (b. 1812 and d. after 1870)I'm not sure when he died.But the last record I've seen him in was in the 1870 Marion County, MS federal population census.His wife Sarah A. "Sally" (Pace?) (b. 1815 and d. after 1860).James Henry Purvis Jr. (b. 1846 and d. 1895).
I'd appreciate any thoughts and/or ideas you might have regarding how I can possibly resolve this question.
I would appreciate any help that anyone can offer.
Thanks,
George
