    3. My great grand mother was BRIDGET MURPHY FARRELL. She died in Galesburg, Knox County in 1879. She was married to DANIEL FARRELL of the store FARRELL and MEARS, Men's Clothing somewhat a fixture in G-burg through the 1930's. I have found nothing to very little about the MURPHY family She had a brother in Galesburg named HENRY MURPHY. He was married to MARY DUNN in G-burg 1863. He died in 1893 in G-burg. He had many children. I am hoping that if I can find a descendant of one of these kids perhaps they will have info that will shed light on the origins of this MURPHY family. I have some info on the children of HENRY/MARY and most of it leads to dead ends. There is one however that may shed some light. ANNA MURPHY, (the daughter of HENRY/MARY) married a HARRY D FERRIS, in Jan 1906. HARRY and ANNA FERRIS had a son, HENRY born 1910 in G-burg and died in 1975 in G-burg. My notes indicate he had a son born 1954, but I have no name. Does anybody recognise this name, FERRIS and maybe HARRY. and hence his kids? (Please, no "big wheel" jokes.) Any help appreciated. Slainte, Tim
