Hiya, John. This is the information that was included. I have not changed any spellings. Stephen MURPHY married (Anastasia?) O'NEIL in Ireland, Stephen died 11-26-1884, Anna 1787-1851 Came from Wexford county, Parrish Tagmare or Coolgual, Ireland. Settled in Cherry Twp. in 1840. Had 7 children. They settled in the Irish Settlement of Wyoming, Bradford and Sullivan counties of Pennsylvania near the O'Neill, Cummiskey, Kinsley (Kinsella), Murphy, Quinn, Dempsey, O'Brien, Stafford, Cullen and Doyle families also of Wexford. There is an Anastasia O'Neill buried in St. Basil's Cemetery, Dushore, Sullivan County, PA. She is in what is considered to be the "old" section of the cemetery. This section is comprised mainly of the original Irish settlers of the area. She is listed as passing on Nov. 14, 1861 at the age of 68 years. Along side of her are Moses (son of Stephen) who died on Nov. 28, 1886 at age 40 and a Stephen who passed at 62 years on Nov. 26, 1864. They are surrounded by Murphy's including the known children of Stephen and Anastasia Murphy. It seems to me that these are actually the same Stephen and Anastasia as included in the excerpt from above. The stones are extremely worn and weathered in the old cemetery and it would not be uncommon for there to be inaccurate dates when one transcribes them. Not all of Stephen and Anna's children immigrated with them. Some stayed in Ireland and it was their children that later immigrated. For example, Dennis Murphy's son, Stephen Patrick Murphy, born July 28, 1870 in Co. Wexford, came over much later. Some of Stephen and Anna's children were: THOMAS MURPHY 1816, County Wexford, Ireland - June 30, 1885, Cherry Township, Sullivan, PA buried at St. Basil's Cemetery, Dushore, Sullivan, PA married MARY PEARLE a. 1815 - Dec. 4, 1891, Cherry Township, Sullivan, PA buried St. Basil's Cemetery, Dushore, Sullivan, PA Had eight children - Adam, Anastasia, Margaret (married George Kaier), John, Dennis (married Alicia?), Mary Ann (married Edward Farrell), Catherine (married William Murray), Stephen (married Catherine Cummiskey) ADAM MURPHY a. 1823 - Dec. 22, 1899 buried St. Basil's Cemetery, Dushore, Sullivan, PA married CATHERINE (KATE) CUMMISKEY a. 1832 - Jan. 5, 1900 buried St. Basil's Cemetery, Dushore, Sullivan, PA Had eight children - Ellen, Mary, Elizabeth, Bridget (married Charles Fitzgerald), Stephen S. (married Mary E. McMahon), Adam (married Margaret Powers), Catherine (married Patrick Harrington).

Wexford residents in Pennsylvania Thanks Leigh for this bit of information. Now would you happen to know if that Anastasia O'Neill was a young woman or a widow? I am asking because my ggggrandmother became a widow in 1834 and her name was Anastasia Emelia O'Neill. Many dogs are named Fido but one never knows.

Hi Leigh, Thanks for the information; will likely be having a look at some microfilms of Wexford in the fall and should then be able to compare your data and mine and see if it would make sense to link my Anastasia to your Anna. Keep digging! John John Le Garignon Adhérent 1828 Société de généalogie de l'Outaouais Adhérent 3757 CG22 Gatineau (Québec) Canada
