Dennis, Thomas and James Purcell (Pursley, etc.) were sons of Daniel Purcell who with wife Keziah Hite?)lived in Frederick County, Maryland. These sons came to Nelson County, KY about 1780. Another son, John Purcell, stayed in Frederick (Allegany), County Maryland. Daniel Purcell is first found just across the Potomac River in Hamphshire County, VA around 1750. Thomas PURCELL settled in Nelson/Bullitt County with wife Elenor SULLIVAN in 1780. They had children Isaac PURCELL (wife Rebecca Collins) d. 1805 Bullitt County; John PURCELL (wife Theodocia) lived Bullitt County; Catherine Sullivan PURCELL wife of Hezekiah LARD/LAIRD who moved to St. Louis, MO. Possible other chidren of Thomas and Elenor PURCELL: Susy PURCELL who married Thomas MIDDLETON, and Sarah Sullivan PURCELL who married Charles YOUNGER in Indiana. Dennis Purcell and wife Susanna (Biggerstaff?) and James Purcell, Sr. and wife Elizabeth lived in Nelson County. I would like to hear from anyone who has interest in the Purcells of Nelson and Bullitt Counties.--Judith Purcell __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?

I would be interested in anything on Sarah Sullivan Purcell. Do you have the Nelson Co. marriages? Most are in there twice once as Purcell & again as Pursell. Except for Thomas m. Rebecca Thatcher Feb. 4, 1796. Are these kin to Samuel Clements aka Mark Twain? Becky Thatcher was the girl in Tom Sawyer.
