On August 9, 1694, Arthur Purcell (along with William Godwin) was instructed to inventory the estate of Thomas Joyner. In December of that same year, a suit filed by Lt. Col. Samuel Bridger, administrator of the Joseph Woory estate, for non-payment of debt against Arthur Purcell was dismissed. Two months later, Lt. Col. Bridger and Arthur Purcell were again tied up in litigation. Bridger sued Arthur for 1415 pounds of tobacco. Arthur counter-sued for 1200 pounds of tobacco, claiming that Bridger had not paid him for building a house. The case was tied up for quite some time. In April of 1699, Arthur Purcell bought 1,400 acres on Blackwater Swamp from Thomas Joyner's estate. In his will, Arthur gave his son, Arthur, the land on Blackwater Swamp, and to his son, Thomas, the land bought from the Joyner estate. The will also named his daughter, Isabella, and his "loving wife", Mary. His estate was not appraised until August of 1729.
