I'm doing research into my Peurifoy family tree. I have everything back to my great great grandfather, who was John Colbert Peurifoy. He lived in Spalding Co. Ga. He was born on nov.14,1861. Can anybody help me find more information on Peurifoys in this area?

Hi Mike,
My g.g.grandmother was Martha Davis Peurifoy, born in Georgia Nov. 22 1814...died April 16, 1857. She married John Burgamy, born Feb. 6, 1809...died June 17, 1861. They had 10 children. Martha died when some of their children were very small. John married again. I have no information on Martha's parents' names, nor do I know why her middle name is Davis. I have wondered if she might have been a Davis, then married a Peurifoy, then married a second time to John Burgamy. I have no information on any of this. Davis could have been her mother's maiden name. Do you have any information about Martha?

Hi Mike and Beth!
I have been researching our common family heritage and now have 28 generations going back to central England. While I can't fit John into the tree yet, I'm sure he's a cousin or something of my Grandfather. I do have the lineage of Martha Davis Peurifoy as well. Contact me if you would like details.

Hello Robert,
I was so happy to see your reply! Yes, please email me, if you would! I have a lot of information about the Burgamy family history, but the Peurifoy line begins and ends with Martha. My email: bethzakrasek@home.com
Thank you so much,
Beth

Hello Robert,

How wonderful it was to see your message! As to how to receive the information you have, you mentioned gencom software. What is it and how could I obtain it? Is it a geneology software product? Would it be sold at any electronics/computer store, or should I order off the Internet?
Looking forward to hearing from you,

Beth Burgamy Zakrasek

I know very little... can you help?

I'm looking for my real father. Only infomation I have on him is that his name may be Joseph (Joe) Anthony Peurifoy (Purifoy). Any information you may have will be helpful. I also think he's in his 60's and he had met my mom back in the late 60's her name was Elaine Lewis at the time and they met in Eastside Detroit (Mr. Elliot and East Grand area) I am 31 now if that helps. Thanks

I have some information about Martha Davis Peurifoy. I show that she was the daughter of William Peurifoy (born 1771 died 1829 Putnam Co. GA) William was one of the sons that changed the spelling of the name from Purifoy to Peurifoy to protest their father's change from the methodist church to the baptist church. Martha had seven sibings - Archibald, Tillman, McCarroll, Stanley, Sidney B, Piercy & Frances. I also show that Martha married John Burgamy (b. 1809 D. 1861 Griffin GA). I guess these are children Tillman Peurifoy Burgamy (b.1833 d. 1891 - Birmingham AL) Alma Gibson Burgamy (b. 1865 d. 1939 Hickory Grove AL) Alma is Tillman's daughter I think. I only have a niece then of Alma a Mrs. J S Meacham Birmingham AL. That is all of the information I have for that branch of the family. Let me know if that helped.

I have a few records for Matthew W. Peurifoy, born Feb., 1864/65 in Edgefield, South Carolina, son of Daniel Byrd Peurifoy. He married a Fanny Aycock. Together they had a daughter Catherine who married a Mr. Dent. Other than that I have few records.
I do have lots of records for other family lines of Daniel Byrd and his ancestors. The peurifoy Family tree goes back over 900 years with 28 generations.
Can you help fill in the black spots since then, if this is your ancestor? Please contact me at rcpeurifoy@aol.com.
