"Survey of Irwin County, Georgia Cemeteries" by Jesse H Paulk and Delma Wilson Paulk, c. 1993 by Craigmiles Historical Publications, Thomasville, Ga p 411, has Godfrey and his wife listed in Purvis Cemetery #2- South of Ocilla. Dates match. But that location sounds a long way from Brushy Creek in another part of the county. Then they have a daughter, Elizabeth Purvis d/o Godfrey and Christianna Henderson Purvis, listed in that same cemetery. Her dates are 10 Aug 1853-19 May 1861. ( I have no idea which listing is correct, but thought I'd tell you of it.)
This book can be found in the library of Tifton, GA.
