Do you know of Purdy Creek ???

Our sources for Purdy Creek (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Purdy Creek other than they indicate that Purdy Creek would be found somewhere in Steuben County, New York.
