Hello Marilyn - Sorry I can't confirm that for you, but if you have the gravestone information shouldn't you be able to match it to the birth/baptism information - you mentioned baptism of Emily, daughter of Lewis Fretz and Esther Bristol - I presume you are referring to the baptism in the Lutheran Church Records. It may be of interest to you to kow that I am a Purdy descendant - I descend from Jacob's aunt, Rhoda, who married first John Wartman, and then Barnabas Day - I desend from the Day marriage (although I am also a Wartman descendant too). Information on the Purdy family says that Jacob's wife Amelia was a sister to his brother John's wife Ann. It also says they are daughters of Allen Fretz, but I doubt that as there did not appear to be an Allen Fretz in the area in that generation. Would you send me the tombstone information (including the name of the cemetery) for Jacob and Emily? I know they lived in Clarke Township, Concession 7 Lot 29 and Jacob operated a sawmill. Apparently Jacob and Amelia had four sons and three daughters, and after her death he remarried, to Hannah Fraser, and had another son. Do you have additional information on these children, such as dates of birth and death? When you say "in the UE papers the first name of Jacob's wife is blank...." what papers are you referring to?

Hi, Sharon... thanks for the reply. The papers I am referring to are: http://www.tbaytel.net/bmartin/earlyont.htm I found a lot of good info on a lot of early families there. I will look up the photo and send it to you by scanner, etc. I, as you know, descend from Lewis Purdy s/o Jacob and Amelia. One of Lewis's daughters was named Amelia. One of the books, I cant think of the name right now, but it was concerning the UE families that had been recorded - I took a copy of it and will also scan that and send it. OK?
