>>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!
