Gilley-Puryear Collection

Scope and Content

The Gilley and Puryear families of Rutherford County were related in some way as there is correspondence between the two families. This collection is made up of letters written between 1867 and 1926 (not every letter is written between a Gilley and a Puryear), receipts, and newspaper clippings that were saved by members of the Puryear or Gilley families. Very little is known about these families other than James M. Gilley worked for the Housing and Loan Administration in Nashville . There are photos in the collection as well.
