This thread goes from better to better still, doesn't it, Barbara.

The only thing is......
I started it in 08 and I still haven't found out where Rev Ric's Dad came from, or where he married his Ruth.
He might have been known as Richard of Winslow, but he sure as heck wasn't born there.
Lots of Richards born all over the country, but no way of knowing which one is the man. Only way will be to find a marriage of a Richard Purchas(various spellings) to a Ruth, and that has never turned up...
All the same, Claire is being so generous sharing her information on his son in law's family that the thread is truly worth it's weight in KBs.
