Val,
I posted a message to William M. Bacon just now in hopes he would have information for me on my Purdy line. If you read it would you please respond if you have any information that will assist us in breaking through a brick wall in our research. We have my ggrandfather, Wm H. Purdy, with Civil War military record showing date and place of birth but no parents or siblings. There were many Purdy households at and near Gorham, Ontario, NY on 11 November 1820 when he was born there. There were many nearby at Jerusalem, Yates county line fluctuated many times see:
which shows those people in between the two counties were not claimed nor enumerated on some census because of that line moving back and forth.
Any suggestions from you would be appreciated.
Sheila
