Thanks for the quick response. I will keep your info. Unfortunately, at this point I know so little about Mary Ann Murphy ( b. 1842 AL according to 1880 census) that it is impossible to say if we might connect. Does your Murphy family have an oral tradition of a grandmother coming over from Ireland as a little girl with 2 sisters, Mom and Dad to land at Galvston, Tx? I was told this by a great aunt many years ago, but she was unclear as to which grandma it was -- Elliott, Murphy, Moore or other.... So I am trying to narrow it down. Supposedly, this took place when people were starving in Ireland, probably not the great famine tho, as so far all my ggm's were born in US according to census so it would have to be earlier, prob. early 1800's. I do know that Mary Ann Murphy had at least one bro who survived to adulthood, as an elderly cousin told me about a trip to visit him, but no name. Thanks again for your input. Karla

Hello, You mentioned Sims' lineage ... Are you related to any Tillman's from Cullman? Thanks, Charlotte

Yes but the only one was my husbands Great Uncle Clarence "Dale" Murphy.He was married twice.1st.to Lillian Downs.2nd.to Evelyn Waites Hightower.My mother in law is the only Murphy conection I have in Cullman Co.now.My husbands grandfather was one 10 childern. They were all born in Cannon Co.TN.and came to Morgon Co.Al.in 1903.

Sorry this was not my Murphy line.Good luck in your search.

I hate to enter in this conversation, but I would like to ask a question. Did any of these Fuller families migrate to Smith or Wilson County,Tn. Thanks.

The Fuller family has been in Morgan then Blount and Cullman Co. since 1831 or so. The earliest Fuller family known to me was Jonathan Fuller who married Ginny Hodges in Ga. in 1804 from whence they moved to Greenville SC near her brother Col. John Hodges. By 1831 they moved next to her father in Morgan Co. Her father was Wm. Hodges a Rev War soldier who was in what became Limestone Co. by 1810 and was a member of the Sims Settlement that was burnt out by the U S Army for having settled on Chickasaw lands on the Elk River. By 1817 they again were petitioning for land. In 1818 they were able to purchase lands. William Hodges died in 1843 or so in Lawrence Co. His wife Eliz. Kearby had died in the early 1820's. Wm. Hodges an elderly man married a young widow Eliz. McGlathery Sims in 1830 in Morgan Co. Eliz. was the widow of Joel Sims who died in 1827. Several Fuller relatives continue to live in the Cullman area. My most recent knowledge was of Douglas Fuller, genealogist extraodinaire, who was also a retired architect and lived on 3rd Ave. in an old Fuller home. It has been several years since I heard from Mr. Douglas Fuller. Douglas and I are cousins on the McGlathery - Sims - Fuller lineages. He descends from Flemming Fuller father of Judge Sutton Fuller. Jim Sims

I guess another way to say it is: I never met a Cullman Fuller I didn't like.

Sadly, from what I understand, Mr. Doug Fuller is under supervised care now and no longer lives in his house on 3rd Avenue. He is a great man and has been a great friend to the public library. He is greatly missed among genealogist/historians (and librarians) in Cullman. Fullers also remain active in the practice of law in Cullman. Fuller and Willingham is one of Cullman's larger firms and Steve Fuller, another nice person, is a partner. I think Steve is still serving as City Attorney for Cullman. Another Fuller (by marriage) - Elaine - is Curator of the Museum.

hello inga. My ggm was Mary Ann Murphy, b. 1842,who married James Jack Elliott. They resided Cullman and Walker Cos. I have no clue as to her parents/siblings and was hoping you might know of her. Thanks, Karla

My Grandmother was a Murphy, Agatha Christina Murphy. She married Aubrey Jimmy Persall (A.J.) Inga

I was wondering if Margaret Murphy had any connection to Murphys in Cullman area. Thanks, Karla

Yes even though It drives me a little crazy at times,I can't leave it alone.I am usually not this confused over it though.
