| Burial* | He was buried at Dellwood Cemetery, Manchester, Bennington Co., Vermont, Tombstone says Benjamin Purdy Died Nov. 28, 1808 AE 80 yrs. 11 mo. The double tombstone for Benjamin and Deborah are in the neatly kept Dellwood Cemetery, which makes the paragraph in the Bigelow/Otis book confusing as it indicates a different cemetery. However, the proof is in the photo, which was taken at Dellwood. The Bigelow/Otis book says: The Purdy family cemetery, located in the south part of Manchester in the area once called "Purdyville" and now called "Purdy Hill," is no longer recognizable. It is fortunate that an earlier historian copied the headstones. The few remaining lie flat in the ground among weeds just north of the stone wall bordering the "Three Brooks" property on the easter edge of U.S. Rte. 7. Buried here were: "Benjamin Purdy, 1719-1808; Deborah Purdy his wife, 1726-1804; ..."2 |
