My great grandmother was also our last Purvis (Agnes Isabelle). She
left LM around 1900 to teach school, later married and lived in
Brooklyn. However, she returned to LM for the birth of her two
children; her parents Aaron and Mary Jane (Dougherty) Purvis lived in LM
until the 1920s. Later they lived with her. I know she always
considered LM her home and did research on her Purvis ancestry and
before that earlier on some of the female lines.
Agnes raised my father after her daughter died at age 24 and he
remembered his great grandfather well since Aaron lived to be 98! They
used to visit LM to see the old farm, friends and relatives and the
Independence Day parades (c.1930-1945) which he really enjoyed. He told
me the town was called Purvis but the name was changed on account of a
wealthy man who lived there.
Aaron Purvis' family was decimated by the Civil War. Both his older
brothers served: John E. [143rd] was killed and William W. [101st &
37th] returned but never married. Aaron had six children but four died
in childhood. The two surviving children were women. His two daughters
married and lived in NYC and PA so there were no sons or sons-in-law to
work a farm. Agnes's husband was a chemist. I don't know what the
economic situation was in Sullivan County at the turn of the century -
maybe other Purvis families moved if there was a general decline in
population.
Can anyone describe, with reference to a modern map, where 'Jacktown'
and 'Jacktown Road' and the old Purvis farms were?
