Alan,
Is this connection with Francis of Fairfield, CT something you have seen proven?Some authors have claimed that there was a John Purdy in Yorkshire who was his father but no proof has been presented.The claim seems to have been made in this century (1901-2001).However, there are others who have claimed other parents and they don't have any documentation either!On a recent visit to York, I couldn't find any Francis or John Purdys in the parish records that survive, but that isn't definitive proof that they didn't exist.Would love to know if this is true.
