| Notes |
- Thomas Lyon (9) Purdy says that DeLancy married a Van Cortlandt daughter; her dowry was large tracts of land in Cortlandt Manor. Near or during the Revolution, DeLancy (active Loyalist leader) decided to sell off a lot of his land in case he lost it. Two Purdys who wanted to be millers, of Rye, bought it (Daniel 3 and Hachaliah his brother). Daniel gave his part to his grandsons because his sons were Tory. Joseph L. picked a spot where he could build a small dam and a mill. This family has pictures of the dam and mill, before the building of the NYC water supply Titicus Reservoir and Muscoot (Croton) Reservoir dams c1893. The houses in the valley that were going to be flooded were moved to the present site of the hamlet of Purdys. The Joseph L. Purdy house was not moved. Daniel 3 of course lived and gave the land prior to the Revolution. Joseph L. Purdy erected the frame of his house the day of the battle of Bunker Hill. There were strong feelings about Tory vs. Whig so some of these stories have been given a bit of a slant over the years.
