Biography

His Birth date was gotten out of his Bible at the time was in the possession of Granddaughter Willie Purser Herrington of Magee, Mississippi, Not sure of middle initial of M as all the census had him listed as William (percer, Purcer, Perser) except the 1880 Census had him listed as Wm Purser, and his marriage certificate to Mary Ann Ware had him listed as Wm Purser, so don't want to mislead anyone.
