Shirley, Seen your query for Purcell. Who was this question being sent to? I did receive some info this week on Thomas Purcell who married Elizabeth Colon in 1880 in the old Hotaling home. Do you know if marriage records were kept from these times. It was before St. Mary's Church was built. Still trying to sort out some of the details. He is to get back to me with more details. Hoping he can fill me in on the Colon side also. Won't give up! Peggy Purcell
