PURDY FAMILY.
Compiled by Spencer P. Mead, LL.B., with the assistance of Robert B. Miller, Editor of the Lyon Memorial, New York Families, published in 1907.
If Bolton, in his History of Westchester County, N. Y., and Baird, in his History of Rye, N. Y., had taken the time to search the probate records before publishing their genealog- ical data on the Purdy family, it would not have been so inaccurate and unreliable.
I FRANCIS PURDY, sometimes spelled "Pardee," born in England, about 1610; came to America about 1635; died at Fairfield, Conn., in 1658; married Mary, dau. of John Brundage of Wethersfield, Conn., who after his death mar- ried John Hait of Rye, N. Y., and had: 2 John, 2 Francis, 2 Joseph, 2 Samuel, and a daughter.
I. 2 John, under age in 1661, removed to Rye, N. Y., in 1670, where he d. in 1678, m. Elizabeth, dau. of John Hait, no issue.
