Lydia White Pursley
Oh how I love that story of my 4th gt. grandmother Lydia Little Pursley.She is the heroine of the 'battle' at Hill's Station or Fort in Bond County, Illinois.Lydia grabbed her husband's rifle and mounted his horse and went out to assist Tom Higgins against the Pottawatomies.The story is well documented in Illinois history.Lydia Little Pursley md:Wm. Pursley son of John Pursley son of James Pursley and Jean McMahan of N. & S. Carolina.I am still trying to find Lydia Little Pursley parents.
