Hello,
Did your MURPHY ancestors come to IL from OH?
Does the name Allen Murphy fit your line?
Maybe he was an uncle to GGrandfather?
I am looking to connect Allen and Minerva Chapman Murphy.
They came from Galli/Vinton counties in OH.
Thanks,
Karen [sandcasl@adams.net]

I have found a Laura the last name is Baudy on the Deso, Jackson Co. IL 1870 Census. I think the spelling is wrong, I think it should be Bandy. Nonetheless her father was Joseph.
