It’s Family Time~James Jackson Patrick & Rose Ann Purvis Family

The Purvis family migrated from Chesterfield about 1818 and arrived in Mississippi in the early 1820’s. The Patrick Family left Colleton County and arrived in Mississippi between 1830 and 1840. 

James Jackson Patrick and Rose Ann Purvis were married 20 October 1837 in Rankin County, Mississippi. James was a farmer like his father. Rose Ann’s father, James Purvis, Sr and his brother Gilbert Purvis were also farmers.

Before the early death of Rose Ann Purvis, she and her husband James Jackson would raise a family of eight children; five sons and 3 daughters.
