Searching for the Parents of Phebe Purvis Moore

On 28 December 1844, Phebe Purvis and Richard Moore were married in Rankin County, Mississippi. The Purvis families that settled in this area about 1820 were Purvis’ who migrated from Chesterfield, South Carolina.

For some time I have tried to identify the family from which Phebe was a part of; who are her parents. In the 1850 Census for Rankin County, Phebe and Richard are enumerated on Line 13 as Dwelling 645 and Family 645.

Phebe Moore is listed as age 25 with 3 children ages 6 to 1. If age 25 is correct she would have been 19 when she married in 1844 and was born in 1825.  

There were very few Purvis’ in this area in the 1820 and 1830’s. The most logical parents for Phebe Purvis are Joseph Purvis and his wife Elizabeth Cook.

Joseph and Elizabeth were married about 1822/23 either in Chesterfield, SC or Clarke County, Alabama. Their firstborn Carolina Purvis, who married Rev. Thomas Jefferson Franklin, was born in 1823 in Alabama based on 1850 Census Information.

I would love to hear from anyone related to Phebe and her husband Richard Moore.

Phebe Purvis Moore was born about 1823/25 and died after 1900 Census was taken. No dates appear on her tombstone in Concord Cemetery, Pelahatchie, Rankin County, Mississippi.
