NOTE: Elizabeth, wife of Joseph Purdy, was mentioned as a possible daughter of John Ogden (of Rye) by Donald Lines Jacobus (History and Genealogy of the Families of Old Fairfield; volume 1, page 496; 1930). However, there is no primary evidence that she was an Ogden.
One of the witnesses to the will of Joseph Purdy (will book 7, pages 598-600) was "Elizabeth Ogden" who could not write her name but instead signed with a mark ("H"). This witness was most likely Elizabeth (Miller) Ogden, wife of David Ogden. Unfortunately, the mark ("H") has been misinterpreted by some as having been a middle initial of the wife of the testator.
