Surnames: Murphy Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/UAB.2ACE/1797.2.1.1 Message Board Post: Thanks Bill, I need to go and find that dispersement of property. I find your names very very interesting. A quick search of Ancestry doesn't bring up anything new I can find. I can't get past the fact that Tilman and Cela lived directly next door to Brice in 1880.
