Hi David,
I am a fouth generation, Livingston County, Michigan resident, and a Great, Great Grandson of Leander D. PURDY.
I am a descendant of Leander's Youngest child, Morris Albert PURDY. Viola was the next to the last of seven children of Leander D. PURDY and Mary Jane Topping [Proctor].
Leander Came to Livingston County Michigan, from Orange County New York c1854, with a baby son, after the death of his first wife and Daughter.
Four children of Leander's second marriage went to the Nortwest territory in the late 1880's.
During the past 20 years I have found records of two more generations of this family, in Orange County, NY, I'm still trying to make a conection with the very large PURDY family founded by Francis PURDY of Fairfield, Conn.
For further information, please contact me by E-mail.
