The 1860 census has Jesse Purcell, his wife Sarah [Batchelor/Bachelor] and 4 sons,
Anderson J., Wesley M., Francis A. and Jessie E. Wesley M. Purcell is my
great-grandfather. He married Sarah Lambert 2 Dec 1875 in Clay Co. Jesse and his wife
Sarah were married 24 Nov 1831 in Daviess Co., Indiana. If anyone is working on this line
of Purcell's, I would love to hear from you. Wesley and his wife, Sarah move to
Sumner Co., Kansas eventually. Wesley is listed in Clay Co., Indiana in 1880 with one
son, William M., who is 3 years old. This is my grandfather, William Murray Purcell.
Other children born to Wesley and Sarah, died as infants or young children and are buried
in Greencastle Cemetery in Sumner Co., Kansas near Clearwater and Anson, Kansas. My
grandfather was their only child to survive. Let me know if this is your line of
Purcells. Thanks.
