BENJAMIN77 PURDY (BENJAMIN66, JOSEPH55, OBADIAH44, JOSEPH33, JOSEPH22, FRANCIS11) was born Abt. 1792 in Vermont or New York?, and died 17 Mar 1877 in Northumberland County, Ontario, Canada2, . He married DORCAS EDDY, daughter of ALLEN EDDY and ? HARNDEN. She was born 1799 in Rhode Island, and died 31 Mar 1876 in Northumberland County, Ontario, Canada. Notes for BENJAMIN7 PURDY: ***A number of researchers including myself are still trying to prove Benjamin's parents. There is room here for more sons of Daniel PURDY and Martha SMITH...the 1800 census shows 9 males. I can only account for 4 - none named Benjamin. Another possibility is that Benjamin is the grandson of the elusive Joseph PURDY, b. c.1736, found in Ontario with a son Benjamin who may be our Benjamin's father. Tax assessment lists from the early 1800's give credence to this theory.*** Currently his parentage is unknown. Some researchers have speculated that it was DanielPurdy who m. Mary Burns but I doubt it since they were married in Nova Scotia and Benjamin was born in theU.S. (census information). Others think he was the son or grandson ofJoseph Purdy b. c 1736. A third possibility is he is the brotherofWilliam Purdy who m. Amy Eddy and therefore his parents would be the elusive "D. and P. Purdy of NY". Morerecent information puts Benjamin's birthplace as Vermont. A Mary PURDY m. a William BENTON in Ontario Jan. 9, 1849. [Source: The Marriage Register of Upper Canada/Canada West; Vol 7: Part 2; Newcastle District: 1848-1855]. I believe that this Mary may be the daughter of Benjamin PURDY and Dorcas EDDY. A daughter of William BENTON and Mary was named Dorcas and a son, Benjamin "Smith" BENTON. This leads me to believe that Benjamin descends from the Bennington County, VT PURDYs possibly through the line of Benjamin PURDY and Deborah SMITH, or his son Daniel PURDY and Martha SMITH. Benjamin & Dorcas Purdy are found at Cons 7 Lot 43 on the 1851 census of Haldimand Twp with 4 children: Allen (1825), Eliza A (1835), William (1837), Hardin (1839).
