Mike, this might be a roundabout way of doing this but here goes.I have Martin Purdy Williams married to Salinda Arvilla Hicks. Both from New York. They had the following children. Miranda Maria(Mariah in one report), Sarah Jane, Alice, Ada W. and Ophelia. I have no clue as to the parents of Martin Purdy Williams. Pulling up an Ada Purdy on the Family search site I found Ada Morton Purdy, dau. of Albert and Ophelia Outhouse Purdy. Ada was born 1876 in Croton, Westchester, New York. I haven't a clue if this is my family, Martin was born in Cayuga Co. N.Y. Salinda in Cortland Co. N.Y., Miranda in Ohio, not sure where next two but Ada was born in Michigan as was Ophelia. Martin and Salinda had no sons so I have no male references. Do you suppose ours are the same families? I'm guessing Martins mother was a Purdy. Odd name for a middle name if it isn't a family name.
