Notes 
Text:
**The following was taken from "The Puryear's of America" by John (Jay) Leslie Puryear III**
William Puryear was born in Warwick County, VA in about 1725 and he moved to Lunenburg County (the area is now called Mecklenburg County). He had six sons there: John, Robert, William,Jr, Thornton, Thomas, and Samuel; and three daughters: Sarah, Elizabeth, and Nancy. Later William was to move to Granville County, NC where he was a planter and court records show gifts of slaves to his sons Robert, William Jr and John. In the 1786 Census for the Country Line District of Granville County, NC, William is listed as having just himself over 21 but under 50; no white males under 21; 1 white female of any age; one black over 12 but under 50; and 5 blacks over 50 or under 12
