About Elizabeth Fowler

Samuel Purdy, who 'married Penelope, daughter of Daniel Strang and Charlotte his wife,' is called in the pedigree the 'youngest son of the first Francis' (of Fairfield). This is altogether improbable, as the sons of Francis - John, Joseph and Francis - were men in 1670-1679, when Penelope was not yet born. Besides, Samuel is not mentioned in our records until 1709. I think it likely that he was a son of Franis (2), who might readily be mistaken for Francis (1). He was at all events contemporary with this third generation; and for convenience the names of his descendants will be numbered accordinly in the following account, which is based upon the pedigree. Samuel and Penelope had five sons: Samuel, Henry, Gabriel, Josiah, Caleb; and three daughters, Charlotte, married Samuel Fowler; Clara, married George Merritt; Elizabeth married Josiah Fowler.
