Text	Tom, I have reviewed the changes you made for James Everett McQuiston and his file looks excellent! I have some changes/additions for my Grandmother Rosa Lee Puryear that I would like to make as time permits: (1) Father: Richard E. Puryear, b. Jun 24, 1848, d. Nov 25, 1889. Mother: Mary Jemina Parkinson, b. Oct 19, 1849, d. Nov 14, 1894. Both are buried in Pleasant Union Cumberland Presbyterian Church Cemetery in Rosemark, Tennessee. (2) When Rosa Lee Puryear's mother passed away, she and her brother Oscar B. Puryear (later married to Minnie F. Hinkle) and sister Gertie Puryear (later married to Clint Simpson) went to live with different family members. Rosa Lee Puryear was taken in by her aunt Joannah H. (Parkinson) and William Julius McQuiston in the Salem community. She lived with them until she married James Everett McQuiston in 1904, roughly ten years. When they married, they did so in the home of William Julius McQuiston. At that time, Rosa Lee's aunt Joannah had passed away in 1903. Rosa's sister, Gertie came to live with her and James Everett McQuiston once they were married. James Everett McQuiston and William Julius McQuiston were cousins, although not 1st cousins, and were from the same McQuiston line starting with Hugh and Mary (Jamison) McQuiston.
