Note

• This Phoebe Purdy does not appear to be the daughter of Samuel and Phoebe Haviland Purdy, as she was born 15 years after Phoebe Haviland Purdy's death in 1775, which is causing an error. A search of Familysearch ^[1], and Ancestry^[2]does not make this link. More research may confirm her parents.

Additional Information for Beriah Curtis

Notes (1) Records: 1. Beriah Curtis family bible in possession of Paul Clark Fawson, St. George, Utah 2. Scrapbook items from Historian of Moravia, N.Y., 1960's, Mr. Leslie Luther, Moravia, N.Y. 3. V.R. of Moravia, N.Y. 4. Mar. date to Phebe Curtis -- N.Y. Gen. & Biog. Record, Vol. 38, Page 145, Seattle, WA Public Library, G-NY, 929.1, N489. 5. Research in New York, by Paul C. Fawson, found a book: "Historical Sketches of the Town of Moravia from 1791-1873". It was published in 1874. Synopsis: A man purchased the land for the site of Moravia in 1789. He built a house and farmed the land for three years. In 1793 three men and their families joined him. None of them were named Purdy or Curtis. This record along with some strong feelings that the archive record stating Beriah Curtis was born in Simpronius in 1789 tell me it's the wrong place. He checked the census records. 6. Information received from Persis Phebe Beach in a letter written June 27, 1926 (since lost) to Sarah Elizabeth Curtis Fawson.
