Descendants of Samuel Murphy, son of John Murphy Sr
N02-1 Samuel Murphy was a son of John Murphy Sr and Katy Bates. This annotation refers to the main genealogy. On 14 Jan 1799 in Bedford Co VA he married Mary "Polly" Leftwich, daughter of Uriah Leftwich. See The Leftwich-Turner Families of Virginia
by Walter Hopkins for her Leftwich ancestry. At the time of the
wedding, Samuel Murphy was underage and required his father's consent.
Therefore, he was born after 14 Jan 1778. He died about 1823 in
Brownstown IN. Mary Leftwich Murphy's grave marker in Riverview
Cemetery, Seymour IN says that she was born in 1773 and died in 1867.
This obituary of his son Samuel Jennings Murphy states that the son
came with his father to Salem IN in 1819, and soon thereafter came to
Brownstown where the father died in 1823. The obituary of his son
George Haden Murphy states that the father died in 1822, along with
several other members of the family.
Based upon the birth places of their children, Samuel and Polly left
Virginia after 1810, passed through Kentucky about 1814 and arrived in
Indiana by 1820. They appeared in the 1820 census of Jackson Co IN.
Polly shows up without Samuel in the 1830 census of Jackson Co, living
next door to her daughter Elizabeth. By 1850, Polly was living with her
son George H. Murphy in Jackson Co. The obituary of their son James L.
Murphy indicates that Polly and Samuel had twelve children, six girls
and six boys.
More information on Samuel and Polly Murphy is provided in a biography of their son Samuel Jennings Murphy, from History of Iowa County (1881), pages 214-215, and is given in the following two paragraphs.
This suggests that John Murphy Sr, father of Samuel Murphy, was born in
England and emigrated to Virginia, where he acquired about 600 acres of
land and a large number of slaves. John is said to have freed 100
slaves (apparently for religious reasons) at the time of the War of
1812. John was said to have been a Whig and a Methodist, but he left
the Methodist church because it advocated slavery, which no longer
suited him. The Whig part is doubtful, since John Murphy died in 1819,
while the American Whig party was not formed until 1834. Other
information about John Murphy Sr is also subject to doubt, since it is
based upon the undocumented memory of Samuel J. Murphy, who was about
four years old when he moved hundreds of miles from where John Murphy
Sr lived.
Samuel Murphy was a shoemaker by trade and followed that occupation in
Virginia until after the War of 1812, when he went, with a six-horse
team, across the mountains to Mercer Co KY. Soon after his arrival, all
his property was destroyed by fire, and a few years later he moved to
Jackson Co IN, where he continued as a shoemaker. He was said to have
been a Whig. Polly Leftwich was said to have borne her husband thirteen
children, but reared only seven to maturity. She died when over eighty
years of age and was buried in the city cemetery of Seymour IN.
Their known children:
Lewis Fletcher Murphy obtained a license to marry Cyrene Congleton in
Jackson Co IN on 27 Dec 1823. On 12 Dec 1832 in Jackson Co Louis F.
Murphy applied for a license to marry Rachel Wells. In the 1840 Census
of Jackson Co, Lewis F. Murphy (age 30-40) apparently has a wife (age
20 to 30) and two daughters, both over 10 years of age, and thus
apparently from the first marriage. Since a Rachel Murphy applied for a
marriage license in Jackson Co in 1842 and again in 1843, apparently
Lewis Fletcher Murphy was dead by that time.
Elizabeth S. "Betsy" Murphy married (1st) Samuel Stanley in Jackson Co
IN on 4 Feb 1824. He was sheriff of Jackson Co. Samuel died on 24 April
1828. On 27 Jan 1830 she married (2nd) Reason (or Rezin) A. Redman, b
14 Sept 1810, d 6 Oct 1889, buried in Fairview Cemetery, Brownstown IN.
Rezen A. and Betsy S. Redman were administrators of Samuel Stanley's
estate and guardians of Emeline C. and Phebe Maria Stanley, minor heirs
of Samuel Stanley. On 12 May 1836 it was noted in the Jackson Co
Probate Order book that "Betsy S. Stanley, alias Elizabeth Stanley, has
since departed this life" George H. Murphy became administrator of the
estate. Phoebe Stanley was living with her uncle James Murphy in
Washington Co IN in the 1850 census. This agrees with information in
Samuel Jennings Murphy's obituary.
Nancy S. Murphy, prob m Gabriel Woodmansee on 21 Jan 1830 in Jackson Co
IN. Samuel Jennings Murphy's obituary does not mention Nancy, but does
mention a sister Mrs. Catherine Vermilya.

N02-2 Samuel Jennings Murphy (from N02-1) was born 1 Feb 1810 in
Bedford Co VA and died 6 Apr 1897 in Marengo, Iowa Co IA. He married
(1st) in Jackson Co IN on 13 Feb 1831 Elizabeth Warner, born 22 May
1810 in Maryland, died 29 Jan 1840, buried in Crane Hill Cemetery (now
called the Douglas/Durand Cemetery), Brownstown, Jackson Co alongside
an unnamed infant. He married (2nd) in Jackson Co on 6 Aug 1842 Sophia
Hayes Umbarger, born 1825 in Washington Co IN.
According to his biography in History of Iowa County, he
went to a log cabin school until he was 14, then was apprenticed to a
hatter for seven years. He worked as a hatter for several years, and
when forced to stop being a hatter by ill health, then became a farmer.
Incidentally, hatters were prone to ill health because of mercury
poisoning, hence "mad as a hatter," although mercury may not have been
used in the American hat industry as early as 1835.
Samuel Jennings Murphy moved in 1850 to Iowa Co IA by wagon, camping
out along the way. He had only $3 cash and an old gun when he arrived,
and made his living by splitting rails. In 1853 he settled on land
obtained by a land warrant which his brother sent to him. He later
moved to Marengo, after which he purchased a substantial farm. He was
Methodist and a radical Republican. He was elected to the Iowa state
legislature in 1876, but as this was for a special session which was
never called, he never served in the legislature. He then moved to Iowa
Co IA. He and three of his sons fought on the Union side during the
Civil War. In 1876 Samuel Jennings Murphy was living in Marengo IA
An obituary of Samuel Jennings Murphy was in the Brownstown (Indiana)
Banner on 10 June 1897. It states that he came with his father's family
to Salem IN in 1819 and soon thereafter to Brownstown IN, where his
father died in 1823.

the Daily Republican of Seymour IN). He married Lydia Warner on 28 Jan
1837 at Cranestown, Jackson Co IN, in a small log hut at the home of
his brother Samuel Jennings Murphy. She was born 25 Dec 1818 in
Maryland, daughter of Abraham Warner of Frederick Co MD and died 5 Feb
1896 (date of her obituary). Lydia was a sister of Elizabeth Warner who
married Samuel Jennings Murphy and Rebecca Warner who married Mr Kelly.
Samuel Jennings Murphy was named Lydia's guardian on 5 Jan 1832 by
probate order as recorded in the Jackson Co IN Probate Order Book.
George taught school in Brownstown, Jackson Co about 1833. He became a
justice of the peace of Jackson Co in 1839 and afterwards became the
four-term treasurer of Jackson Co. He declined renomination and moved
to a farm in Hamilton Twp just below Honeytown, where he engaged in
agriculture for three years. In March 1866 he became was cashier at the
First National Bank of Seymour IN and a member of the Masonic Lodge.

Jackson Co IN, she married Dr Isaac Findley. He was from Jefferson Co
KY and moved to Brownstown in 1832. She may have later married a Mr.
Woody, because Mrs. Polly Woody is referred to in Samuel Jennings
Murphy's obituary. This may be a confusion with the maiden name of her
brother James L. Murphy's wife.
