Generally, each researcher supplied details of their branch of the family. Particular thanks goes Jack Keeter for sharing his research notes on the immigrants John and Elizabeth. Thanks also to Clayton C Purdy and previous Purdy researchers Elliot Baldwin Hunt and Louis E Bieringer who’s extensive Purdy research and notes have influenced, directly and indirectly, many of our contributors. The purpose of this document is to help other researchers connect with the larger family tree. For compactness, some entries have been abbreviated and descendants with surnames other than Purdy are not shown. Sixth generation individuals born after 1900 are not shown unless they are researchers. Where you see [family . . . ], [notes . . . ] or [bio . . . ] contact the contributing researcher for details. Also note that dates followed by an asterisk "*" are approximations entered by me, James Fremon, for reference. Additions and corrections are always welcome. 1 John Purdy (c1746- ) b.
