Louisa Purchase m. James Patterson abt 1861

Louisa was a daughter of Phillip Purchase who lived near Hillsdale Michigan. He lived in NY. I am descended from his brother, Robert who was the elder. The Hillsdale Library has a book on the history of the county in which is posted good info on Louisa and James Patterson. I visited there about 3 or 4 years ago. Robert never came to Michigan, but Samuel one of his sons did and lived near Pittsford. I was delighted to learn about Robert's brother Phillip. He seems to have joined his nephews and neices who came to Michigan in the 1840s perhaps. I think you would do well to email David Purchase who is a descendant of Phillip for more info. His email address is as follows: [email protected] would also be happy to help after you have contacted David.
