Francis Purdy, His Ancestors and Descendents
Francis Purdy (ca. 1650-between 1722-1725) was born at Fairfield, Connecticut, the son of Francis Purdy (ca. 1616-1658), the immigrant. He and his wife, Mary Lane?, had six children, ca. 1676-ca. 1690. He died at Rye, New York. Descendants listed lived in New York, Connecticut, Missouri, Kansas, and elsewhere.
Kentucky Ponders
Robert Ponder (ca.1786-ca.1857) moved from South Carolina to Madison County, North Carolina, and married Elizabeth Holcombe before 1812. "Why Kentucky Ponders when they were born and raised in the Caro- linas? Because all 3 brothers, Robert, John & Joseph once lived in Kentucky ... [and] the majority of Ponder offspring once lived in or still do live in Kentucky." Descendants and relatives of Robert, John and Joseph lived in North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and elsewhere. Includes United Baptist church membership roll, 1877-1915, for Union County and Rockcastle County, Kentucky (including many Ponder surnames).
Hedgehog
From the Romans who viewed the hedgehog as a weather prophet to modern gardeners who depend on the creature to keep gardens pest-free, the small, spiny animal has had a close connection with humans since the dawn of civilization. A creature of fascination, endearment, and cultural significance, it is one of the few wild animals that people can approach without the fear of attack or it running away. Exploring how this and other characteristics of the hedgehog have propelled it to become one of people’s favorite animals, this book examines the natural and cultural history of these symbolic creatures. Following the hedgehog as it spreads through Europe and Asia to the foot of Africa, Hugh Warwick describes its evolution, behavior, habitat, and diet, as well as its current endangered status. He also looks at the animal’s appeal, accessibility, and status as a pet in many countries, considering its appearance in advertising, films, children’s books, and games. Casting new light on the ancestors of Sonic and Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle, Hedgehog is a fascinating look at these prickly, admirable animals.
