Thursday’s Treasure: Deed of Trust–Wm. A. Purvis

Early in my genealogical journey I was living in Ogden, Utah and had access to the awesome Family History Library of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

Some the the early documents I found for my ancestor William A. Purvis were Census and Land Deeds. This was back in the days of Soundex Codes to find your ancestors surname in the Census (Purvis – P612) and before any use of digital files. Back in those days we had Surname Books for looking up the Soundex or you could use the Soundex Code chart to calculate the soundex manually.

The following deed is a Deed of Trust between William A. Purvis and Marshall & Richardson made on 1 March 1878 whereby Marshall & Richardson are making advance to my 2nd Great Grandfather so that he may plant a crop in the year 1878.

Every document (over 30) I have found for William A. Purvis; the documents always lists him as William A. or W. A. Purvis.
