Posted on: Tioga Co. NY Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/NY/Tioga/198 Surname: PURPLE, WAKELEY ------------------------- Arnold- I have some info on Jasper- more that before but still have not verified who Harlow Purple's parents were. His wife was Betsey Walker of Exeter and she had a brother John. Harlow died in 1840 and she returned to live with her parents in Exeter and two of the sons went there too.They had at least 5 sons- one "lost at sea" and another killed in an accident. I'll be happy to send you what I have. Also I have info on the two sons who took the family name which I can give you to see if it connects with wour info.
