The Murphys who moved to Edgar Co IL

Four of the sons of John Murphy Sr (William, Lewis, James, and Dr. Uel Murphy), as listed in The Murphy Family of Bedford County Virginia, moved to Edgar Co IL. This county abuts Indiana.

The 1879 History of Edgar County, Illinois, p 377, reads

The Murphys came from the Old Dominion, and located in this township (Hunter). Lewis Murphy was the first of the family in the field, and came here as early as 1819. He was the first Judge of Probate after the formation of Edgar County. William Murphy, a brother to Lewis, came in 1820, and settled on a farm adjoining Col. Mayo, where he died many years ago. The first session of Circuit Court in Edgar County was held in his house. James Murphy was another brother and built a horse-mill near the line between Hunter and Stratton Townships, and afterwards a water-mill in Hunter Township. He finally moved to Brouillet Township. Still another brother was Dr Uel (written Url) Murphy, and the first practicing physician in the township and perhaps in the county. He came to the settlement in 1821, a young man of promise, and a physician of merit, considering his youth. The next year he died, being the first death in the neighborhood."

#4 James Murphy (from The Murphy Family of Bedford Co VA (one of the four brothers) was born in Bedford Co VA 5 March 1790 (family Bible). On 19 Sep 1820 in Clark Co IL, he married Phebe D. Bromley. He died on 22 Oct 1850 (family Bible). He was listed in The Compendium of American Genealogy vol 6, page 468, by Frederick A. Virkus as follows:

Phoebe Delilah Bromley (1802-66), pioneer school teacher; married 1820 James Murphy (1790-1850), of Edgar and Ogle Cos IL; War 1812 (son of John, Bedford Co VA, married 1770 Katherine Bates).

Their daughter Catherine Phoebe Murphy (21 Dec 1828-6 Sep 1911) married 28 Sep 1847 Benjamin Eaton Hemenway (1824-1850) of Gilsum NH and Daysville IL.

Their daughter Lillian Beulah Hemenway (1848-1923) married Edwin Ezra Reed (1846-1927).

In the 1850 census for Ogle Co IL, James Murphy is listed as 63 years old, which would put his birth date in 1787 instead of 1790. The census entry reads:


James Murphy 63 M farmer $3000 VA
Phoebe D. Murphy 46 F VT
Chester D. Murphy 25 M farmer IL
Phoebe C. Hemingway 21 F IL
Beula Hemingway 2 F IL

Children of James Murphy and Phoebe Delilah Bromley

#6 William Murphy (from The Murphy Family of Bedford Co VA (another of the four brothers) was born about 20 Mar 1782 and died 16 June 1840. (See John H. Murphy entry in History of Greene Co MO) He married Isabella Rider, daughter of John Rider on 21 Jan 1807 in Bedford Co VA. Isabella was born 19 Jun 1783 in Bedford Co VA, and died 16 Dec 1870 in Edgar Co IL. William and Isabella are both buried in Cemetery 16, Edgar Co.

John Murphy left money in his 1819 will in trust with his son William to purchase public land in Indiana or Illinois for his grandsons John and William Murphy, sons of his son John Murphy Jr. Since his sons William, Bennett, Pleasant and Uel were named in 1819 as executors of his will, they were probably all still in Virginia at that time. The family seems to have moved to Edgar Co in 1819.

William Murphy's will, dated 21 May 1840, proved 7 Sep 1840 in Edgar Co, listed his wife Issabella Murphy and children John H. Murphy, James P. Murphy, Bennet A. Murphy, Harriet J. Bandy and Emily J. Murphy, his brother James Murphy, and his sister Polly Murphy, mentions his land in Edgar Co and Macon Co IL, and in Terre Haute IN, his stock in the Terre Haute branch of the Bank of Indiana, plus land, livestock and household furnishings. His sons James P. Murphy and Bennet A. Murphy were his executors.

According to the land records of Edgar Co, in 1844 John H. Murphy and Adam Murphy, both of Vermilion Co IL, heirs at law of William Murphy, sold land to James P. Murphy of Edgar Co. It appears that Bennet A. Murphy went by his middle name of Adam.

Children:

from the family Bible page the listing should be:

John H. Murphy born 11 Dec 1807 (See #514)

#8 Lewis Murphy (from The Murphy Family of Bedford Co VA was the first of the four Murphy brothers to arrive in Edgar Co IL. It is probable that Lewis was already in Edgar Co in 1819 and had reported the opportunities there back to the family in Virginia. This is apparently the Lewis Murphy who married Joanna Deer in Pittsylvania Co VA on 4 Apr 1811. Joanna was probably born about 1787 in Virginia. When Dr. Uel Murphy died, his estate had a claim against Lewis Murphy, which was apparently still pending when Lewis Murphy died before the July 1829 session of the Edgar Co IL court. Lewis was buried in Cemetery 16, on North Arm Road, near Baldwinville, Edgar Co. Joanna Murphy was the widow of Lewis Murphy. The Lewis Murphy estate was settled 2 Aug 1830, and William Murphy was mentioned in the estate settlement.

According to the 1830 census enumeration for Joanna Murphy, they had three sons and one daughter. The widow Joanna Murphy married Enos Hobbs on 2 Feb 1837 in Edgar Co. Enos was apparently born about 1781. Joanna and Enos Hobbs are found in Polk Co MO in 1840. By 1850 they moved to Lamar Co TX, where Joanna apparently died between 1860 and 1870.

Children were probably (but not certainly):

Uel Sanford Murphy (See #506) (See note below)
Elizabeth Heydon Murphy (See #507) (See note below)
Gilbert Wilson Murphy (See #520)
Albert G. Murphy (See #510)

Note: A letter written by Cora Bryant Johnson, granddaughter of Elizabeth Heydon Murphy and daughter of her son Albert G. Bryant states that her grandmother received a letter from her brother Uel Murphy who lived in Kansas when Cora was about 12 or 13 years old. Since Uel died in 1891, and since Cora was not recorded on the 1880 census and she had a brother Benjamin born in 1880, Cora may have been more like eight or nine years old.

#10A Uel S. Murphy (from The Murphy Family of Bedford Co VA was a physician. He was born in 23 Dec 1796 (Family Bible) in Bedford Co VA He was the youngest of the four Murphy brothers in Edgar Co IL and moved there sometime after his father's death in 1819 (probably in 1821) and died in Edgar Co 12 Sep 1822 (Family Bible and headstone). The estate file has many pages of listing of property in Dr. Uel Murphy's inventory. He was buried in Cemetery 16 on North Arm Road, Baldwinville, Edgar Co.

#503 Emily J. Murphy (from #6) was born 30 Oct 1821 in Edgar Co IL, died 4 Nov 1897, and was buried in Edgar Co cemetery. On 30 Dec 1840 in Edgar Co IL, she married James A. McCown, sometimes spelled McCowan, born 26 Oct 1811, died 30 Apr 1896, and buried in Edgar Co cemetery.

Further from the 1879 History of Edgar County Illinois, pages 695-96, from the biographical sketches of Hunter Township:

JAMES A. McCOWN, farmer; P.O. Paris; son of James and Ann (Wood) McCowan, who were natives of Kentucky; they came to Edgar Co in 1830 and located in Hunter Tp, where he passed away Oct. 2, 1834, she dying Sept 23, 1845; they raised a family of seven children, only three sons of whom are now living. The subject of this sketch was born Oct. 26, 1811, and came to this county with his parents; during his early life, he learned the trade of silversmith; he served a regular apprenticeship at Lebanon, Ky.; when he came to Illinois he followed his trade in Danville until 1838, then came to Edgar Co. and located on his present farm. On Dec 30, 1840, he married Emily J., daughter of Wm. Murphy, a prominent pioneer of the county; they have raised a family of six -- Wm W., Matilda J. (now Mrs. J.T. Allen) Isabella A. (now Mrs. W.R. Bodine), Rebecca E. (now Mrs. L.W. Watson), Joseph M., Mary H. (now Mrs. Z.T. Huffman). Mr. M has a fine property, they now owning 240 acres of well-improved land.

#507 Elizabeth Heydon Murphy (from #6) was born in Pittsylvania Co VA Feb 1814 (1900 census). She married Randall (or Randle) Hunt Bryant of New York on 20 Aug 1835 in Edgar Co IL. In her marriage record, Bennet A. Murphy is named immediately after her, presumably as a guarantor. This family lived in Dane Co in 1850 and St Croix Co in 1860. Elizabeth was enumerated in the 1900 census with her son Uel Bryant in Hudson, St Croix Co WI. The death notice of Elizabeth Murphy Bryant (River Falls Journal, 5 Sep 1901) states "Mrs Elizabeth Bryant, an early settler in St Croix county died near Hudson Aug 17, of old age. She was 87 years of age and her daughter, Mrs Smith, was the first white child born in Milwaukee." Mrs Smith was her daughter Catherine Ann Bryant. The death notice of Randall Hunt Bryant (Hudson Star Times, 24 Jul 1885) reads "Randall Hunt Bryant -- Father Bryant, the time honored court cryer of St Croix county, who had been lying very near death's door, at his home, out in the town, for several months, died, on Monday morning. Mr B. has been quite a character in our midst for a great many years, and was a cousin of the late William Cullen Bryant of poetic fame. A biographical sketch will be given next week. The funeral occurred at the residence today at 10:30."

The 1860 St Croix Co census also lists Ella A. Woodruff, age 3, in this household. Her relationship is unclear. Her birthdate is 20 May 1857 probably in Hudson, St. Croix Co WI. (LDS IGI records and from family information, her mother is Catherine Ann Bryant from a previous marriage -- the IGI has Cathrine Ann Bryant as her mother and her father as William Warren Smith [obviously a mistake]).

The 1880 St Croix Co census lists Hettie Smith, age 14, as a granddaughter in this household. She would be a daughter of their daughter Catherine Ann Bryant Smith, listed with that family as Harriet Irene Smith.

#508 Uel Sanford Murphy Jr was born about 1844 in Vermilion Co IN. He was generally known as Sanford.
