Female age 40-50 (b. 1790-1800) - apparently his wife. Need names of children: males 1 5-10, 2 10-15, 2 15-20, 1 20-30; females 2 under 5, 1 10-15, 1 15-20 Don't find John in the 1850 census - apparently he died. But do find Elizabeth Purcell age ?53 b. KY (c1797) - Is this John's wife. Also find other Purcell families of Edward Purcell age 26 (b. c1824); John Purcell age 25 (b. c1825); and Washington Purcell age 28 (b. c1822) - believe this to be the Washington Purcell b. June 13, 1821. Are these the children of John and Elizabeth Purcell?
