I am descended from Ephraim through his son David who died in 1847 in Mexico.I am interested to know how you learned about White Abbey, Co Antrim, Ireland being the birth place of Ephraim. You are the first researcher I have run into that could locate the Pursleys before they came to America.
I have seen the court record you refer to about the illegitimate child, however, I interpreted it differently - i.e. that Eleanor was being charged by the court as having a child out of wedlock...the record I saw assessed her a fine...if she had been filing the complaint would she have been fined?Would like to hear from you further.
