Surnames: Murphy Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/UAB.2ACE/1797.1 Message Board Post: Hey Marsha and Bill, I do not know what part of Virginia Terrell L. Murphy may have come from either. That info was derived from Brice Elkin Murphy's death certificate which states his parents as T. L. Murphy and Murphy (Celia wasn't listed by name) as having been born there. I have to nose around some to find out which county. I also recently obtained the death certificate for a Mary Jane Murphy, who I believe is the wife of Brice. It lists very little on the certificate, with no parent info at all. She is buried at Pigeon Fork Cemetery, Shelby County, Kentucky...a popular Murphy burial ground. I think she may be a daughter of a William Corbin, who has marriage records listed of a couple of daughters he signed for when they married. Those are on the Shelby KyGenWeb site. I'd like to learn more about this Corbin line also, as they perhaps traveled together to Kentucky. When I find the time, I'll try to nose around here at the Shelby County courthouse and see if can find a marriage! or land transaction record there. Perhaps there will be a clue somewhere. Hang in there. We'll get this all figured out in time. Please feel free to holler at me anytime at all. Donnie
