“My’ Dunphys came from Coolkerry, Queens Co, Ireland. They migrated to Australia during period 1850 to 1853. The parents names were John (snr) and Catherine (nee Wallis). One of their children was Joseph who was about 20 at the time. Joseph was the father of John Dunphy. I have long suspected that John(snr) had siblings and that quite likely some emigrated to US. Have never been able to confirm this.
