Purdy Family Tree

These records were found by a cousin while going through a stack of pictures and papers in her attic, July 15th 1984.  She does not know where the information came from nor does she recognize the handwriting.

My Great Great Grandfather James Benton Ogilvie married Henrietta Purdy. These records are from her family.  If anyone can add or make clarifications on these records I would be very grateful.
