  Mrs. Frances Purefoy-Hand-Lowry, was a daughter of Thomas Purefoy, son of Captain Thomas Purefoy of the Council Frances Purely, daughter of Thomas Purely, son of Capt. Thomas Purely, Esq., justice of Elizabeth City county in 1628-29, burgess 1629-30, a councillor in 1631-32. John Tabb gave a receipt in 1698 to William Lowry, administrator of Richard Hand, and father-in law (step-father) to Martha his wife, for her father's estate, and for some stock left by Major Matthew Warkelin (Wakeline), her "grandfather-in law " (which means that Warkelin married the widow of Thomas Purely, Jr.,). In 1675, Wakeline was guardian to Purely's children (Va. Mag. Hist. and Biog. Vol. I., p. 417*) *The Pinefy or Purefoy family, of Elizabeth City, belonged to the family of that name in Leicestershire, one of whom was created a baronet in 1661. See Burke's Extinct and Dormant Baroneteies In 1698 John Tabb, who had married Martha, daughter of Richard Hand, gave a receipt to William Lowry, administrator of Richard Hand, and " father-in-law (step-father) to Martha, Tabb's wife, for her father's estate, and for some stock left by Major Matthew Warkelin (Wakelin) her grandfather-in-law" (which means that Wakelin married the widow of her grandfather Thomas Purefoy, Jr.). In 1675 Wakelin was guardian to Purefoy's children. In 1720 Hannah Booker, of Abingdon parish, Gloucester, gave a power to William Lowry, of Elizabeth City, to release to Thomas Kerby, of Charles Parish (who married Frances Lowry) her title to certain land in Elizabeth City. About the same time William Lowry deeded to John Lowry certain lands adjoining Hannah Booker's, coming to him (William) as marrying "Frances, one of the daughters and co-heirs of Thomas Purify of the parish, and county aforesaid, and mother of the said John Lowry.
