Thomas and William Purchis were from the Vermontville, Mi. area. Thomas' father was Phillip Purchase and his father was another Thomas Purchase born about 1722. They originally came from New York.
My grandfather was William Purchase who was the brother of Homer and son of William Purchis. William and Thomas are buried in Emmett Co. near Petosky, Mi.
Email me when you get a chance.

Dear Mike, My wife Marie Purchis Peterson was adopted by Owen Purchis as a child and raised his own. He did a lot of research on his family. I also was interested in my genealogy so I added his to mine after he died. I would like to send a copy of it to you, but I would need to have your address to do so. You can contact me by e-mail or you can send a reply to 1780 N. 450 W. Building 5 Apt. 112, Provo, Utah,84604-1484. Hope to hear from you. Jac k
