He is a brother of Elias and half brother of Edward !!! and Mary PURPLE. He was born 14 JUN 1718 and may have died 24Oct 1745. His occupation may have been shipbuilder. I have received a story about the 7 sons of John Purple 2 (He had an uncle John) who were shipwrecked and all rescued but one.I am not sure which John the story is. I am also searching for the family and descendents of Phila Amanda PURPLE and Seth BAILEY m. 20 Jan1820. She was from Chatham and the daughter of Josiah PURPLE
