Hosick P. Purvis was born 14 February 1885 to John P. Purvis and his wife Margaret Gulledge. Hosick died in 1942 after falling from a railroad trestle that he was attempting to cross in Darlington County, South Carolina.
Not much is known of this line and I’m posting it today in hopes of connecting with some descendants from the line.
There’s another Hossack Purvis born 1866 to John Purvis and Rebecca Parr that may be related to this family. If you have any information on the Hosick/John P. Purvis family please contact me by posting a comment to the blog post. If you are a direct descendant of this Purvis line and is interested in Autosomal DNA testing of the line I would love to hear from you.
