I am looking for any descendants or anyone who may have information on John Fitzgerald MURPHY. Probably born in Dublin, Ireland, he had relatives in Newport, RI, particularly my gggrandmother Mary Murphy Sullivan (b. 1844 Dublin, d. February 17, 1924 Newport). I think he was her nephew. Johnny Murphy was often called Fitzgerald Murphy, and was an actor and writer. Two of his plays, The Shamrock and Rose (published 1889) and A Bit O'Blarney (published 1893) can be found in the Library of Congress in Washington. He died at a fairly young age, though I don't know when, of an illness somewhere out west, perhaps in New Mexico, Arizona, or California. He had been married to an actress, and had a daughter named Genevieve. I have access to several pictures of him, and an entry to a cousin in her autograph book.
