JOHN JERL PURCELL JR'S NOTES (2 Feb 2008): I found the middle initial P in his name from the obituary of Charles Daniel Purcell the CV dated October 9,1930. I also obtained from Judge Purcell the full middle name of Pedie. Need to check deeds in Lancaster County for this name to see if any exist. Census of 1880 shows John Purcell residing in Licking Hole District, Goochland Co., VA. It says he is a stone mason. Census of 1860 shows a John Purcell being born in Ireland and cannot read or write.
