I am researching William Purcell (1817-1874) and his wife Catherine Brower.  They lived in Richland County Wisconsin moving there from Knox County Indiana.  William says that he was born in Virginia and may have had the middle initial of B.  Also, he may have had a prior marriage in Indiana.  Many have connected them to the John Purcell and Mary Bland family but I cannot find any supporting documentation or how this connection was formed.  If you can assist with this I most appreciate it.

Susan,

Welcome to the PFA! I just sent you a welcome email to your personal address, as well as an invitation to the new private Facebook group we're using for these discussions. Would you mind reposting the same question there and we'll see who can help out? Thank you!
