Notes for Elizabeth “Lizzie” C. Purvis
Lizzie apparently died between 1904 and 1907, more likely towards the earlier end of that span, because in the 1910 census, Jackson is listed with a second wife Lou, their number of years married listed as 3, but with two children Jackson age 7 and Sarah age 6, whose mother was apparently Lizzie. (Jackson and Lizzie’s son Leslie is living with Mary Jane and her husband Leslie Hardin, while their son Shelley is listed with his half-brother Alfred.)

The 1900 census gave her birthdate as June 1865, but since her parents were married on 7 Aug 1865, I consider it more likely that she was born in June 1866. (The 1870 census listed her as age 4 and the 1880 census as age 14.)


Warning: Several family trees on Ancestry.com have attached to her a death date of 24 Sep 1923, but that is for a different Elizabeth Goldy/Goldie, daughter of Jefferson Goldy/Goldie, who never married.
