Help me with the surname Herriott/Harriott/Heriot. I am descended from Elizabeth with one of these spellings. She was born in 1808 and married David Pursley probably in Abbeville about 1826-28. CAN ANYONE CHECK ANY KIND OF RECORDS TO SEE WHAT FAMILIES WITH THIS SURNAME WERE AROUND AT THE TIME OF HER BIRTH??????????? David Pursley was in York County before moving to Abbeville. Not sure they married in Abbeville or in York. David and family left SC with a brief stop over in Tenn where another Pursley had moved. They eventually ended up in Hempstead County Ar in 1840. David died in the Mexican War in 1847. Elizabeth moved to Texas with her son, James in 2866, settling in Navarro Co.
