Angela, I have your Wilie Murphy listed as Wiley E. Murphy. He was born about 1857 in Lauderdale County, Alabama and died about 1912. He was first married on 22 July 1880 in Wayne County, Tennessee to Mary Elizabeth "Bettie" Bevis (1855-1890), daughter of James M. Bevis and Mary________. The children of Wiley and Bettie were: 1. Issabelle Murphy, m. John Holliway. 2. Lucille Callie Murphy, m. Bill Bailey. 3. Ada Murphy, m. Tom Lindsey. 4. Bernice Murphy. Wiley was second married in 1891 to Mattie A. Burns. Their children were: 1. Lewis Murphy 2. Amanda Murphy. 3. Rosie Murphy. 4. Carl Murphy. 5. Addie Murphy. Wiley E. Murphy was the son of Matthew Murphy (b. 1811/13 Laurens County, South Carolina) and Anna Murphy (b. 1815/19 South Carolina). Matthew Murphy was the son of John Murphy (b. 1775/80 South Carolina) and probably Nancy "Ticy" Lindsey. Anna Murphy was possibly the daughter of Ephraim Murphy (b. c1787 Maybinton, Newberry County, South Carolina). John Murphy and Ephraim Murphy were part of the westward movement in the 1820s from Laurens and Newberry Counties, South Carolina to what I like to refer to as the tri-state area of Wayne and Hardin Counties, Tennessee; Lauderdale County, Alabama and Tishomingo County, Mississippi. So far I have found no relationship between John and Ephraim. Hope this helps. Jerry W.
