I'll outline a bit here and email you privately because we have a lot of theories to discuss. The family of Benjamin 6 ispretty sketchy and what I've put together is based on naming traditions,circumstantial evidence, bits of related families, and a lot of putting people where there isspace. At least we know that there are a lot ofinter-related people in what was a fairly closed community so there weren't transients or other families complicating things further, so we know that they all belong to eachother but the questions are which people belong in which house? The Honeywell or Honiwell family I believe comes from Rutland VT, and the more I look at that part of Ontario the more VT families I see. Benjamin Purdy Jr born 1792 who I think was son ofBenjamin 6 (since there aren't anyother Benjamins!), claimed to be born in VT, which is rather unusual for a Joseph 5 descendant, but we don't know where Joseph was prior to 1797, except that he was in HerkimerCo NY in 1794. There is a stray unidentified Purdy who married Phebe Honeywell (1757-1823) d/o Enoch Honeywell: I don't even know what country this was in, but it shows a close connectionat the time of the Revolution, prior to the move to Ontario, when none of them was in Ontario. TheEddy family, which figures prominently in the Purdy relatives in question, was involved with the Honeywells before they all landed in CramaheTwp. Amy Eddy's mother was Aresenieth Honeywell; Amy married William Purdy who I think is a brother of Benjamin, and Benjamin Jr married DorcasEddy. I think Nancy Purdy who married Harnden Eddy is a dau of Benjamin 6. John 7 Purdy 1799 who married Rachel Halstead I believe is a sonof Benjamin 6. I think Ira was a son of Benjamin 6 but I have no date for him. Caleb, bornabout1810 (who diedin St. Clare Co MI) may be a son of Benjamin 6. I show Honiwell Purdy as born in 1812 and married 23 Feb 1835, with marriage witnessed by Johnand Ira Purdy. Since so many Purdys lived close to eachother, John and Ira might be cousinsbut I'm placingthem closer to eachother as brothers just because the probability is higher. John named a daughter Cloe; I believe that his wife RachelHalstead (d/o Stephen Halstead and Martha Lawrence) was a sister of ChloeHalsted/Halstead wifeofHoniwell Purdy.Ifigure that Cloe appears in John's family because of this close relationship. Again, it's possible that John and Honiwell arecousins rather than brothers, but the probability that they are brothers is higher. I don't know the identity of the wife ofBenjamin 6 Purdy, but I wouldn't be surprised if she were a Honeywell. I have read that Sylvester had a large familybut I don't know anything about them. Perhaps the naming patterns in the descendants of Honiwell and Chloewillhelp indicate theancestry of Honiwell. The numbering system I'm using is ClaytonPurdy's, ie with Francis who died in CT in 1658as #1. This group is Francis, Joseph, Joseph, Obadiah 4, Joseph 5 who went to Ontario in 1797, Benjamin 6 etc.Alec! !<>Julie, Thanks forthe clarification (still clear as mud, isn't it?). I wonder if this is a case of "the family is from Vermont" stories... families on a migration path over a period of time as the Joseph 5 family appears to be, being a largefamily with at least onebranch that certainly does appear to be linked with Rutland VT, and having children born in various places, may lose track of where they were born. By the time David was old enough to claim a birthplace he may have been convinced that he was born in VT;hemay have been born in NY just before they went to VT, or after they left. Maybe his father wasn't in VT at all; perhaps a brother was. I don't think they were there a long time, perhaps only two to fiveyears? I've doneno research at allconcerning Rutland but there is a definite connection between some of the Cramahe Twp Purdys and Rutland families who also moved there. These are a tough group to sort out from the Canadian side because they were there before records were kept andmost of themmoved on to thenewAmerican frontiers by 1850. Time to look at Rutland and what Joseph was doing between North Creek, Herkimer (later Onondaga) County NY in 1794 and 1797 in Ontario. SonBenjamin 6 was probably inRutland asthere is a Benjamin 7 who seems to be his son and who claims birth in VT in 1792. The Caleb 6 we've been looking at here was his brother and his heir James born 1787 claims to have been born in USA butdidn't name VT, and is living in 1871 near Benjamin 6 and the Eddy andHoneywell families. The Honeywells were from Rutland, and there is a Honeywell Purdy (1812) who appears to be a son of Benjamin 5. Wouldn't surprise me if Caleb showed upinRutland area. Alec CALEB P. PURDY b.c. about 1776(he has 8 children in 1804and should have been at least 20 when he was married therefore?.1804-28) and died 1818-1819 married PATIENCE.; arrived in Cramahe Twp, Northumberland County, Ontario 1803-1804. Children: 1) James 2) Gilbert3) Nathaniel b. Mar20, 1792 (sourceforage- UnionCemetery) (listed 1828 Northumberland Militia age 33) 4)David 5) John May 1, 1799 (listed 1828 Northumberland Militia age 39) 6) Caleb b.c. 1801 (source for age -1851 census) 7) Daughter 8) Daughter 9) Daughter Atthe same time there was aDaniel Purdy in Haldimand Twp...which is very close to Cramahe. Daniel b. 1760 - d. 1849 is son of Joseph and Mary Purdy. I am wondering if Daniel and Caleb mighthave been brothers. Any help much appreciated. Regards, LindaHerman ! <http://genforum.genealogy.com/purdy/messages/1935.html>Hi Linda, There was aJames Purdy born 1787 "heir of Caleb" who lived on lots 1&2, Concession 2, Hamilton Twp, Northumberland County who is probably the JamesPurdyborn inUSAlivingHaldimand Twp in the 1871 censuswithwife Sarah age 76 near Harnden Eddy and Benjamin Purdy & wife Dorcas Eddy. James had a son Gilbert born c1826 "of unsound mind". Daniel Purdy and his wife Mary Peet had a son James born inNY statein1788whomarried Matilda Holt; they had children born in theBrighton area and they mostly moved to Michigan. James' being born in 1787 puts Caleb's birth back around 1762 to 1766 which suits James and also a gap in children of Joseph.James must have been first (living) son. Therewasa Gilbert Purdyliving in May 1799 on Broken Front Lot 4 Hamilton Twp, Northumberland County, Ont. Joseph Purdy in his loyalist claim May 2 1804 says he has 47 children and grandchildren living in Upper Canada;I think your list completes the total(at last!) and itincludes all the Purdys living in that area at the time, so that total and the sharing of names among known Joseph descendants and this Caleb suggests very stronglythat Daniel andCaleb were brothers. Notproof, but there is verystrong circumstantialevidence. Joseph went to Ontario about 1797 (he claimed 39 in family in 1797 when hearrived. He may have been the Joseph Purdy who was arrested 5 June 1776 andimprisoned for awhile atWhitePlains for his Tory activities. He livedin Herkimer Co NY(North Creek)in 1794 where he signed a petition asking for the creation of Onondaga County. Some of his children came with him to Ontario, some arrived later. There is a connection with Rutland VT and there isa Honeywell family from Rutland livingamong Eddy andPurdy which is related. They have been very difficult to trace as you well know, because there were a lot of settlers in that area before there were proper surveys or land grants,and by thetime proper records were being kept andthings settling down so we can make sense of it all, many of them moved back to America. Karin Corbeil has done a lot of worktracing them back viathe Eddy family which is one of the area familiesthat intermarried with the Purdys. The web of inlawsties all these people together. Joseph's wife was Mary __ ? I haven't seen that before.What's the source? Alec! <http://genforum.genealogy.com/purdy/messages/2004.html>Hi Alec, we "talked" backDec 2001whenI only had one Purdyname, Mary. I now know morenames:Chancey Purdy 1851 Can-1950 Michigan +Margaret Welsh/Walsh 1850 Can-1898 Can James LymanMary Minna John Hattie I was wondering if you had any more info. onthis family. I have afile you sentback then, but it is a bit confusing. hoping to hear fromyousoon Donna! <http://genforum.genealogy.com/cgi-bin/pageload.cgi?honeywell::purdy::2005.html>Hi Donna.Yes, I remember our conversations. I have Chauncey born inOxfordCountyOntario, whichI think was your info. Oxford County is in southwesternOntarioI think; sort of London area. The other names you mention; are they siblings ofChaunceyorchildren? You had said that Chauncey had a daughter Mary "Minnie"Purdy born 2 June 1875at E. Nissouri Ontario.There was a Chauncey 7 Purdy whowent to BrantandOxford Co. Ontario and had a son Lyman 8 Purdy in 1824 whomarriedHarriet Harris. He had a daughter named Anna Amanda 9 Purdy who married William Blackburn Elliott. I'm diverginga bit here, because by a strange coincidence aman named Carleton Elliottwho was from southern Ontario moved to Sackville New Brunswick (he was a music professor at Mt. Allison University) and bought the housethat my great-grandfatherlived in, and Carleton told me that one of his mother's friends inOntariowas named Olive Purdy. I haven't found Olive Purdy,butI suspect that Carleton Elliott's ancestors are these Elliotts or cousins of them. Back to Chauncey 7 Purdy...Lyman 8also had a son James Harris 9 Purdy. Other children were Charles Blissett Purdy, CarolineMatilda Purdy, and MargaretJ.Purdy. Chauncey 7hadchildren William H. 8 in 1823, Lyman 8 in 1824, Almira 8 in 1826, Hiram 8 in 1829 (in Ontario so weknow about when hemoved), MaryCaroline 8 in 1830, and Alfred 8 in 1836. Theremay be others, possibly infant deaths at 1832and 1834. Chauncey 7had a brother Lyman 7Purdy (the name appears in the Way; Benjamin 6 Purdy had a sister Marywho married Lyman Way. Are you keepingnotes?), William 7 who went to16 Mile Creek, Niagara County, Ontario (nearSt. Catherines;we have a DNA sample from this line, and he had a daughter Caroline and sons Benjamin and William and James and Charles), Benjamin 7 in 1803, Eliza 7 in 1805, Rhoda 7 1807, and Harmon 7 in 1810. Chauncey 7 had afirst cousinnamedChloey 7andone named James7. Benjamin 6 also had a brother named Ira 6. Now getting back to Ontario but in Cobourg, there wasa Benjamin 6 Purdy born possibly 1773 who we think hada son Benjamin 7 born 1792 in VT. He married Dorcas Eddy whosemotherwasArsenieth Honeywell of Rutland VT, and there is a Honeywell family also living near them in Ontario (from Rutland so they must be in-laws).Among thenames usedin the Cobourgarea we find Ira, Chloe, Hiram, William ... all unusual names forPurdyand allappearing in the Chauncey and Benjamin lines. Chauncey 7's ancestry is Benjamin 6 born 1775 = Abigail Prindle,Benjamin 5, Benjamin4, Daniel 3, John 2, Francis 1. There has to be some connection betweenBenjamin 6 born18 March 1775andBenjamin6 who lived in Ontario at Cobourg born about 1773. It may be that they are the same man and I suspect that the reason we can'tlink them from children's infois that they may have moved to Ontario around 1825, whenmost of the children were adults andonceinOntario they migrated away from Cobourg but left nephews and nieces with traditional names ... Chloe, Hiram, Ira, Lyman, etc.This may explain howsuch characteristicnames came to be spreadall overOntario. The problem is that one Benjamin marriedAbigail Prindle but their family ended in 1810 before the time they would have moved to Ontario. Abigail and Benjamin (1775) were married 4 Feb 1796 at BenningtonVT.Abigail would have been around 30 to35 yearsoldin1810... possibly she died inVT? Possibly Benjamin moved with some of his children to Ontario around 1825... but how do we fit in Benjamin Jr (socalled indocuments) born 1792 in VT? This date predatesBenjaminand Abigail's marriage.Did Benjamin 7have a wife beforeAbigail anda son when he wasonly 17? Was Benjamin Jr. born out of wedlock? Another suggestion is that BenjaminSr. was born 1767 but if this wasn't Benjamin born 1775 whomarried Abigail, then whydo all these peopleshare an unusual groupof names? Benjamin 4 Purdy who wentto Vermont as a founder of Manchester, had a son Solomon 5 Purdy who moved to Rutland VT. A nephew of Solomon, Benjamin6 Purdy hada son Chauncey7 Purdywho is the onediscussed aboveandwho islikely the grandfather of Chauncey born 1851,dueto naming traditions and location. Well, it is confusing isn't it? However I think the ancestry of your Chauncey is defined. Do you know ofany directmale descendants from Chaunceyand Margaret Welsh / Walsh? A DNA sample from him may help establish the connection.Alec Purdy
