      Edward Delaney Purcell

      Birth: Apr. 7, 1851
      Vermont, USA
      Death: Apr. 13, 1928
      Eaton
      Madison County
      New York, USA

      The second child of Timothy and Alice (Purcell) Delaney. He grew up in the Cobleskill area. There on March 23, 1870 he married Myra M. Cross of Leesville. They had four children: Edward J., Charles T., Stanley G., and Myra E. In 1881 the family lived in Warnersville, Schoharie Co., NY with the surname of Delaney. They had an auction and were to move to Troy to operate a livery stable. About 1885 they appear in the Town of Lebanon, Madison Co., NY with the surname of Purcell, which is the maiden name of Edward's mother. The reason for the surname change is probably due to alleged criminal activities. Edward and his family were farmers in the Eaton area.
