Washinton Purkapile- PA, IL, IO, IL
I have a gg-aunt, Sarah Jane Stanton, that married a Washington Purkapile 22 November 1866 in Mercer County, IL.
This was at least a 2nd marriage and probably a 3rd for him. He married Mary Ann Ash,03 July 1853, Fulton County, Illinois.He is listed on the 1860 census in Walnut Grove, Mc Donough County, Illinois.He was born about 1823 in PA.His occupation is listed as blacksmith.It also lists with him with the following information:

The marriage records list his name as Purkapile, the census records as Purkapine. I think this is just handwriting variations.
Is Washington connected to your family?If so, do you know what became of him and his children?
Thank you for your kind attention.
