Hi, I am responding to a couple of names on the Roll Call list. I have some information on the Purdy and Hammond families who lived in McDonough County. Some of same families may have also lived in Fulton County. Myrtle and Sylvia come from the same line of Elwell: Thomas Elwell b. 1751 and his wife, Elizabeth. Marsha The direct relationship goes to my Elwell line. Leslie Alvah Hammond, b. Oct. 27, 1875 married Myrtle M. Elwell. They had several children. Leslie's father was Samuel Duff Hammond. I have further information on the family is anyone is interested. Willard Ray Purdy, b. Dec. 15, 1880 married Sylvia Alice Elwell. They lived in McDonough County. They had several children. I lost Willard and Sylvia after the 1920 census. Willard's parents: Rodliff Purdy and Ina Alton.
