Hi Kim,
We corresponded a few years back about the Purchase clan in NY. I found an obscure newspaper blurb that said Charlotte Griswold was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Purchase. I'm still trying to figure how Harvey and Charles figure in. Charles was the executor of Harvey's estate. I also learned that Charles' wife Betsey Blake Purchase was driving Charles to the poor house
Thanks, Bill Pickard

Hello ~

My husband is descended from Thomas James Purchase, b. 28 Aug 1853, either in New York or Omaha, Nebraska. The family began in New York with Thomas Purchase, b. NY 12 Mar 1797>> Evlin Purchase, b. 24 Mar 1822, NY>> Thomas James Purchase b. 28 Aug 1853, New York or Nebraska.

One of Thomas James Purchase's sons was Harvey Purchase, b. 1879, either born in New York or in Nebraska. One of Harvey's brothers was my father-in-law's father, Samuel James Purchase, b. 20 Mar 1880, Omaha, NE. Are we talking about the same family? Samuel died in Omaha on 26 May 1934. My father-in-law was only 12 at the time, the youngest of the family, and since his mother had been deceased even prior to that, my father-in-law was sent to work at a German family's farm outside of Omaha.

Did my husband's Purchase family have roots in this Harvey Purchase's family?

Thanks very much,
Kathleen Purchase
