Hello,
I am a decendant of Gilbert
Purdy who came to Malagash, NS in 1783. I am the last of my branch to cary the
Purdy name and as I had three daughters it ends with me.
Gilbert was one of I believe five brothers that came to
Fort Lawrence, New
Brunswick in 1780. One child was born at that location. Seems they had a very hard time at that location and the grant in Malagash was little better although three years ago a very small portion of the grant sold for 3.5 million or so I have been told.
Rgards,
Charles....
