Hello again.
My husband Harvey Graham Purchase and we retired to Delaware in 2000 and he passsed away in 2010. His father was Harvey Spurgeon Purchase, named after the famous Rev. Haddon Spurgeon who owned the Spurgeon Tabernacle in London.
The Spurgeon line is also written up in my book. I'm not trying to sell more books, I just want to share the information and it's all there.

Gale,
Thank you for your condolences. This March will be 2 years since Graham died. I miss him terribly, but life goes on and I have learned to go with it. I'm doing well.
I am new to this Social Media stuff, except for Facebook, so I don't remember and can't find if I mentioned the name of my book, so here goes again.
It's available from Lulu.com for $20+. It's 200 pages with lots of pictures. "The Genealogy of the Purchase Family The Ancestors of Harvey Spurgeon Purchase (1906-1968, Graham's father) and the Descendants of James Purchase (1689/90-1723/24), by Nancy R. and H. Graham Purchase, Pub. Lulu.com, 2008. I didn't write it to make money (only about $25 in royalties so far), just to record and share the Purchase story.

Can you tell me if your book has anything about Thomas Samuel Purchase Jr., b. 03 Dec 1799, Skaneateles, Onondago Co., NY?
(His father was Thomas Purchase Sr., b. Abt. 1772, Saratoga County, NY, married Phoebe Van Camp, abt 1797 in Skaneateles, Onondaga County, NY?)

Thomas Samuel Purchase's sister was Sarah/Sally Purchase b. abt. 1799; she was married to Alvin Burroughs.

I am having trouble sorting out all the "Thomas Purchases"; Samuel appears to be a family name and I am curious to find out if the name first appeared as the famous diarist Samuel Purchas in England.

Thanks very much!

Kathleen,
I have Thomas who had come over here in 1632 with George Way his partner in the 'Pejepscot Patent,' a large tract of land on both sides of the Androscoggin River in Maine. (He was returning to New York in 1630 on the ship "Lyon.") His son Thomas II sailed to England to obtain a second patent of land and was lost at sea. He was claimed officially dead in 1684. Thomas III was born 'just before or just after his father sailed"
Thomas I married Elizabeth Andrews of Saco, Maine. She was reported to be 24 and he a vigorous 80. He lived to 101.
Joan Purchase, sister of Thomas I, I believe, married Bernard Capen who came to New England.
See John Winthrop's Journal, Planters of the Commonwealth, History of York, Maine, Search for the Passengers of the 'Mary & John.' Also see Ancestors of American Presidents,1989, as Aquila Purchase' daughter, Abigail Purchase bap. 1624 at Holy Trinity, Dorchester, Dorset m. Sampton Shore and they were the ancestors of President Millard Fillmore.
Other than that I don't know a lot about these early Purchases to New York but they were from Dorset, as were my husband's ancestors. (Our from Bere Regis, Dorset, England.

Our Purchase line connects with Charles Haddon Spurgeon - the famous minister who built the Spurgeon Tabernacle in London which drew thousands of worshipers. It is still there but has much smaller congregations now. I visited it a few years back and they have a library/store with books about Rev. Spurgeon.
I left them so material. His sister connects directly to my husand's father, Harvey Spurgeon Purchase.
I don't know if this is the Sergeon/Spurgeon you are looking for. The entire Spurgeon line including photos is in our book.
