Wife was Mary Park, bapt 26 Dec 1686, d/o Roger Park and Sophia Claes.At least 5 children, some with Dutch-origin names from the Park and Claes families.Many known descendants.
I don't know of documents proving that she married Joseph Purdy, but the naming traditions of the Park and Purdy families makes it very likely.There weren't many (or any?) options.
