Surnames: Purvis Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/4AB.2ACI/45.134 Message Board Post: I am researching my dad's family. His name was John Taylor Purvis. He was murdered in 1961. His parents were Mattie Ellen Ricketts Staples Purvis and Zachariah Taylor Purvis ( I may not have Zachariah spelled right). I would be very interested in the information you have on the Purvis family of Henry Co. KY. My dad was supposedly born in New Castle, Henry County Kentucky, August 21, 1921. Thank you very much.
