For the neuroscientist and Director of the Center for Cognitive Neuroscience at Duke University Dale Purves Unreferenced date January 2007 The Purves family history can be traced back to 1066 AD. During the Battle of Hastings, the Purves family gave significant military service to William the Conqueror Duke William of Normandy . Because of their achievements, William the Conqueror awarded them lands in Suffolk in 1066 AD. Ancient land holdings Purves is a name of local origin, from Purveshaugh, in Berwickshire, shortened to Purves. Citation needed date February 2008 This name is of Scottish descent and is found in many ancient manuscripts in Normandy. Examples are William Purveys of Mospennoc, who made a grant to the monks of Melrose in 1214, and Alan Purvays, who witnessed a confirmation charter by Patrick, Earl of March, in the year 1318. Names were recorded in these ancient manuscripts to make it easier for the overlords to collect taxes and to keep records of the population at any given time. When the overlords acquired lands by either force or as gifts from their rulers, they created charters of ownership for themselves and their vassals. Other examples of this name were found in the person of a Thomas Purves, who had a charter from Robert, Duke of Albany, in 1427, and Andrew Purves, was a juror on an inquest on the lands of Tulloch, recorded in the year 1438. The origin of the name The name Purves is Scottish in origin, and variations include Purvis, Purves, Purvice, Purvess, and others. The name takes its root from purveyor, and it is likely that the first of the Purves clan were merchants. Family motto The family s motto is in Latin Clarior e tenebris, which translated means the brighter from previous obscurity. Settling the New World Some of the first settlers in the New World were Catherine Purvice and her husband, Nevice, 1663. Alexander and William Purves, Philadelphia, 1860.
