Mary -- I think you are pretty close on your time line except I would say Daniel Purcell b. 1720 to 1730 as he got land in Hampshire County about 1750. Had not seen Rev. War Service for him. Thanks!! Also, the brothers Dennis, Thomas and James Sr. Purcell did serve under George Rogers Clark out of Kentucky. This was in the Indian Expeditions to Indiana 1780 (all three), and later (1781 - 1783) for a couple of them. This service is considered Revolutionary and was accepted for Thomas Purcell by DAR. The reason is that Indians were incited and encourged by the English to take American scalps and they were attacking the Kentucky frontier to such an extent something had to be done. This was when Kentucky was included in VA and records are there. Lots of good history available. Later service can be found elsewhere, but no Purcells after that. I think you are right with time range for the sons of Daniel. It is good to put a range rather than an approximate date as there was another Thomas Purcell b about 1750 and I don't want people to confuse the two. They were the only Purcell family we found in Frederick County (Allegany), Maryland at the time. I have some family information on the Youngers but didn't research that myself. Yes, take it with a grain of salt. It is speculation at this point. I found Family Forums under genforum.genealogy.com/ for both Purcell and Younger. Under Purcell Family Forum someone has Sarah Purcell b. 1788 KY and d. before 11 Jan 1859 Clay County, MO. for the Sarah that married Charles Younger. Suppose she was in the 1850 census? I will not add more here as that would be duplicating something that would easy to get from that source. -- Judi --- [email protected] wrote: > Correction!!! > > Should have said Charles' son Henry b 1810-- son > Cole was born 1844 (d 1916 > of a heart attack--d in MO). > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: <[email protected]> > To: <[email protected]> > Sent: Friday, June 03, 2005 7:46 AM > Subject: Re: [KYNELSON-L] PURCELLS, Dennis, Thomas > and James Sr. (brothers) > > > > Trees on rootsweb.com gives Charles Younger with > at least 4 wives-- > > one of them being Sarah Purcell.
