Biographical History
John H. Purrington (1768-1837) settled in Halifax County, N.C., in the late 1790s. His son, Robert F. Purrington (1799?-1837), purchased the Beach Swamp Plantation in Scotland Neck, N.C. Both men were doctors, with Robert attending medical school at the University of Maryland, 1825-1826. A.L. Purrington (1867-1940) was born at Beach Swamp Plantation and educated at Horner's Military Academy in Oxford, N.C. His parentage is unclear; he may have been the son of Rufus H. Purrington. In 1900, he married Georgie Bosley, daughter of Georgie Price Bosley and Samuel Parker Bosley, who was raised in Towson, Md., and educated at the Girls Latin School in Baltimore and Goucher College. The couple had five children, Luther Purrington among them. Georgie Bosley Purrington lived at Beach Swamp Plantation until her death in 1977.
