~Purcell Trivia~
Purcell is usually regarded as an Irish name, though the most famous man so called, Henry Purcell, the composer,
was an Englishman. Both English and Irish Purcells are of Norman descent, the latter being found mostly in the contiguous
counties of Kilkenny and Tipperary. The picturesque ruined castle of Loughmoe, the seat of the head of the family, is a well-known
landmark near Thurles, to be seen from a main line railway between Dublin and Cork. He was known as Baron of Loughmoe, a title
conferred by the First Earl of Ormond as Lord of the Palatinate, but this title wa not officially recognized by the Crown.
The name is derived from the Norman-French word porcel, which in turn comes from the Latin porcus. Though Norman, the Purcells
did not come to Ireland until some years after the Anglo-Norman invasion of 1172, when they became adherents of the great
Butler (Ormond) family. In Irish the name is written Puirseil. the Purcells are a good example fo the saying "hiberniores
Hibernicis ipsis", for not only are they found as Bishops of Ferns and of Waterford and as Abbots of Holy Cross and St. John's
Kilkenny, but also as staunch fighters in the Irish cause: one, Major-General Purcell, though unsuccessful as a military strategist
in earlier engagements, was so prominent in the defence of Limerick in 1651 as to be excluded from the favourable terms granted
to the defenders generally; and another, Col. Nicholas Purcell, was one of Patrick Sarsfield's right hand men. This Purcell
was one of the negotiators of the Treaty of Limerick in 1691. Subsequent to this they were active as Wild Geese both in the
regiment known as Purcell's Horse and in Clare's Dragoons etc. Other Purcells worthy of mention are Richard Purcell (c. 1720-1766),
who in his day was a celebrated engraver, and John Baptist Purcell (1800-1883), Archbishop of Cincinnati, who was born at
Mallow. In connexion with him may be recalled his brother Father Edward Purcell and the dramatic story of the failure of the
"Purcell Bank".

Purcell Census Notes & Additional Data
~PURCELL~
I am a long way from identifying my Purcell ancestors past Nicholas. In the hope that
someone will see this page, read these notes and have additional information is why I'm posting here... below is everything
I know to date about this family.
Note: This first census was posted by GrannyToad, another Flanders researcher.
I think she may have found a valuable clue to Nicholas' backround and I will post it here as the beginning of my census data
for Purcell. If this is indeed our Nicholas then she is probably correct in stating that Nicholas migrated with Abner Flanders
from NY. to Illinois.
1830 census index:
Smith Parcels Cayuta, Tioga, New York
Nicholas
Pearsall Cayuta, Tioga, New York *

Note: Per: Morlock Mertle Tree at Rootsweb, found this listing: Isaac
Purcell, b. 8 Sep 1803 in NH, Son of Noah Purcell & Sarah DECKER.
