| Notes |
- Nancy, wife of William Loghry lived to be 80 years old. It is tradition that she was from Ireland, and possibly from Clones, County Monaghan. A descendant of the same Purdy family from Belfast got in touch with me via email and was interested in her descendants. She was a descendant from the same family as his mother's. This fellow said the Purdys originated about 800 years ago from Normandy. Many of them in Ireland came over from Yorkshire, England. There were many Purdys in clones in the 18th and 19th century. ( Information from John Caughey of Londonderry, Ireland whose mother was a Purdy and related to ours.)
According to Revolutionary War records from the state of Pennsylvania, there was a James Purdy, Lt. Col. in the Cumberland Militia who could be Nancy's father. Certificate 11, 221, was paid 49 lbs. Register, vol. B, p. 48 Issued 18 March, 1786. On 31 Mar, 1790, he was paid 40.5.9, Certificate 16680
There also is a James Purdy at Lancaster County, in the 6th Battn. 7th Company, Class 7th, who enrolled Oct. 20, 1781 under the command of Capt. John Patton, Militia. He was on tour of duty in Lancaster. Muster Roll, 1781. A (5), VII, 592-595 also A (5) VII 617-620.
It appears there was another James Purdy,(Purdie) Jr. who was in Cumberland, 7th Battn. 5th Class under the command of Captain McAlister.
He had an appeal to be excused until the next call because he and his brother were building a mill. It was granted.
The appeal return was on Aug. 26, 1780.
Pvt. Robert, who lived in Lancaster; Pvt. William served in the 2nd Battn. 1st Company, 3rd Class, Duty "M". Return of 3d class on 22 July, 1782. Robert Purdie was in Philadelphia City with the 1st Battn. 4th Company, 2nd Class, under the command of Capt. John Byrn.
He was called in July, 1777. Gen. Ret. Bk. No. 1, p. 8. P. A. (6) 1, p. 41.
William Purdy, Private, served at Cumberland in the 7th Battn., 4th Class under the command of Capt. William Blain. Remarks on his card were "Abt" Order of Council, July 14, 1778. Fine Book of John Carothers, Cnty, Lt., p. 355. 2nd Tour, 3rd and 4th Classes-300 man to Ye Standing Stone. He had a Muster Fine of 80Lbs. (60 paid)
Another William Purdy, Pvt. at Cumberland, possibly the same person as above, served in the 5th Battn. 4th Class, Company 8...Published A (5) Vol. 1, 365-366. These could all be brothers to Nancy except for James, sr.
