Message Board Post:
I am looking for the parents of Sylvania Purvis who married my
great-grandfather 5
Dec 1852 in Tipton Co. IN. They had two sons: James L.
and William Joseph Cooper. Sylvania apprently died during or after
childbirth as my great-grandfather married my grandmother, Elizabeth Harness
(Murphey) 12 Oct 1968 in Fulton Co. IN. Any clue will be most appreciated.
Please email me at mfmac33(a)home.com, and after 5 Feb, it will be
mfmac33(a)comcast.net. Thanks
