I am responding because of the combination of the names Stillman and Purdy. Can you tell me anything about the ancestors or residences of Stillman Purdy?

I am tracing Harvey Stillman Norton, who is documented to have had a close [probably brother-in-law?] relationship with Henry/Harry Purdy of Palatine, Cook County IL, about 1860-1865.

Any leads or connections appreciated. Darlene Joyce
