BY JOSEPH PURDY FROM JOHN BUDD
IN 1685.

Baird in his "Chronicle of a Border Town, History of Rye, Westchester County, 1660-1870, 1871" on page 198 has the following.

"The PURDY family have a burying-ground on the western bank of Blind Brook Creek, opposite the public cemetery. This is probably one of the oldest places of interment in Rye. It contains many antique memorials of past generations ; but the imperfect records of their names have been worn away by time, and none prior to the present century are now legible."

In Bolton's "History of the County of Westchester, from Its First Settlement to the Present Time, Vol II, 1848" the following is recorded on page 91.

"The Purdy estate is situated upon the eastern shore of Rye neck bordering the Blind brook, (Mockquams). A short distance from the house is the burial place of the Purdy's.

NOTE: Elizabeth, wife of Joseph Purdy, was mentioned as a possible daughter of John Ogden (of Rye) by Donald Lines Jacobus (History and Genealogy of the Families of Old Fairfield; volume 1, page 496; 1930). However, there is no primary evidence that she was an Ogden.

One of the witnesses to the will of Joseph Purdy (will book 7, pages 598-600) was "Elizabeth Ogden" who could not write her name but instead signed with a mark ("H"). This witness was most likely Elizabeth (Miller) Ogden, wife of David Ogden. Unfortunately, the mark ("H") has been misinterpreted by some as having been a middle initial of the wife of the testator. Her Ancestral File Number is CT1Q-1D.
