Elizabeth Rebecca Ward
1836 - 1858
|
Elizabeth Rebecca Ward was born about 1836 in Dale County, Alabama and died about 1858 in Dale County, Alabama. Dates for birth and death are estimated. She lived to be about 22 years old.
Rebecca Ward married Rufus Purvis (a brother to the two Purvis sisters, Lydia & Holland, who marry Rebecca's brothers). The actual date of their marriage is unknown. If she married him before his first child was born in 1850, then she would have been about 14 years old. However, there is a 4 year age gap between Rufus's first child, Mary Jane Purvis (1850-1871) and his second child, George Washington Purvis (1854-1930). Rebecca may have been Rufus's second wife and the mother of only two of his children: George Washington Purvis (1854-1930) and Rufus Jackson Purvis, Jr. (1858-1860). By 1860, her husband is married to Adeline (who is 19 years old). |
