A number of researchers including myself are still trying to prove Nancy's parents.*** Subject: Nancy (Purdy) EddyDate: Sat, 05 Jun 2010 18:57:39 -0400 From: Darlene Nutt To: corbeil a bellsouth.net Hi Karin...... I was surfing the net & came across your Family Page. I notice you're lookingfor the parents of Nancy (Purdy). If it is any help, I have it written down that her parents were poss. Daniel Purdy & Polly (Eastman). It was years ago that I had did work on the 'Eddy' family. I don't know where I came up with poss. parent's names but it might be an avenue to search. Nancy is bur. Eddystone Baptist Cem., Haldimand Twp., Northumberland Co., ON Darlene --------------- The IGI lists a Nancy Purdyborn 1797 in Westchester, NY daughter of Rogerand Ann Purdy. Another IGIlisting shows a Nancy Purdy born c. 1798 who married a "Harding" Eddy. The book, "Eddy Family in America" shows Harnden's wife as Nancy Purdy, but no parents of Nancy are mentioned. Roger and Ann Purdy as the parents is doubtful as this family wasin Westchester after 1815. We know that a number of Purdy'sfrom Westchester, NY went to Canada after the American Revolution. Nancy was born in 1797, the census notes she was born in the US. Harnden and his family went to Canada sometime between 1803 and 1815. A sister of Harnden's, Dorcas, married aBenjamin Purdy, possibly a brother to Nancy. This Benjamin may be descended from Francis PURDY through Joseph5, Obadiah and Phoebe Underhill4, Joseph3, Joseph2,Francis1. This Benjamin Purdy andhis wife, Dorcas Eddy, shown in the 1871 censusliving with a Hiram and Nancy Brisbin (both born in 1830) - Nancy is probably their daughter. Was she named after Benjamin's sister Nancy? More recentinformation places Benjamin, b. 1792 as born in Vermont. A Joshua Purdy is listed as anearly settler of Haldimand Twp. being granted land along with Bays Eddy. A "Jos." and Caleb Purdy are early grantees in Hamilton Twp. In the list of Residents in 1797 are listedJoseph Purdy Lot 3 1st concession;Gilbert Purdy Lot 4 1st concession; Gilbert Purdy Lot 4 2nd concession; Joseph Purdy, Jr. Lot 28 2nd concession [Taken from the Report of the Department of Public Records and Archives of Ontario 1930 and Report of the Department of Public Records and Archives of Ontario1931. Taken from the original reports of Asa Danforth and Aaron Greeley June 17, 1797 and Sept 1, 1797.] A Nancy P. Eddy is listed in Middlesex County,Massachusetts Probate Index, 1871-1909 (Part A-K): Eddy Nancy P. Providence RI 1879 Administration 3307 Judd Bacon believes that Nancy McLaren is the d. of Peter McLaren and Mercy?. A Peter McLaren b. c. 1750 married Mercy Buell (b. October 15, 1753 in Marlborough, Hartford Co, CT) and had atleastone daughter, Mercy McLaren. Is Nancy McLaren another daughter? Mercy Buell's 2nd husband was Samuel Wright. They married in Montreal, Ontario, Canada on March07,1784. Mercy Buell had a brother William who was supposedly the founder of Brockville(Elizabethtown). (See: History of Leeds and Grenville Chapter XLIV page 181.) Brockville is located just across the St. Lawrence from Ogdensburg, St. LawrenceCo, NY where children of Mercy BUELL McLAREN and her second husband, Samuel WRIGHTarefound.Samuel died there in 1815.
