| MovedTo* | Hannah Purdy moved "Hannah moved across Lake Champlain to Plattsburgh, Clinton Co., NY, where she died" In researching this comment that Gwen had in her book, I narrowed it down to a letter (31 Aug 1983 from Gilbert Robinson 929 Triunto Canyon Rd, Westlake Village CA 91361. "Richard Bullis, in his work that I mentioned, wrote (I do not know on what autority) that she died at a grandson's home hear Plattsburgh, N.Y. Richard also wrote that all of Henry's sons moved to Plattsburgh in 1811. If that is true, it is quite possible Hannah went to live with one of them after her husband's death." | |

Richard also wrote that all of Henry's sons moved to Plattsburgh in 1811. If that is true, it is quite possible Hannah went to live with one of them after her husband's death." Research has not been completed about "all the sons" but some definitely moved there, and son Henry H as a female the right age in his household in 1830 to be his mother.1 |

In Jan 2005, we wrote to the Special Collections department of SUNy Plattsburgh and had them look up all of the Bullis' in the cemeteries of Clinton county, (which have been indexed). They replied that they do not have her listed in any of the cemeteries. |
