Excerpt from Allied Families of Purdy, Fauconnier, Archer, Perrin
Colonial and Revolutionary times has become a marked feature of the life of today.
Every man, every family, every neighborhood has a history. Sufficient time in our country's history has elapsed for, with just pride, notice to be taken Of the descendants of the first settlers of our country, many of them bearing in their veins the noble blood of France, England, Ireland, and Holland. The soil is consecrated with the blood of these martyrs to civilization, and is sacred with the imprint of their footsteps. A preservation of their memory is all that can be done by posterity, to honor these pioneers, who stood in the forefront of the nation's honor.
When gathering records of families, whose ancestors came to this country in Colonial days, the searcher is often confronted with vexatious evidences of past indifference to the preservation of family documents and memorials.
