Notes for Isaac Purvis
I cannot find any record of this Isaac Purvis other than the marriage record, so I do not know his birthdate or parents. There was an Isaac M. Purvis, born in Feb 1849, son of James Purvis and Jane White, but he married Serona Cooper about 1874, and was still married to her when he died in 1937. There was also an Isaac Purvis born about 1832, son of William Purvis and Malinda Jones, whose death date I do not know, but he would be 30 years older than Frances.
