De Pury (respectively Pury) is a family of the Neuchatel Patriciate which has been nobilitated in 1651 by Henri II. d'Orléans, Duke of Longueville and had their origins in Val-de-Ruz. They have been settled in Neuchatel since before 1396. Members of the family held several positions in government, business and industry.[1]
In the 18th century an American branch was established and became namesake of Purrysburg, South Carolina.[2][3] More recently notable members include Simon de Pury and David de Pury.
