Posted on: Polk County Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Mn/Polk/414 Surname: Murphy ------------------------- Gladys, I am not familiar with Margaret Murphy. I was born and raised in East Grand Forks, so know the area. It took me three tries just now to log-on to the Polk web site, so there might be something happening there. If you have questions, email me directly. You could try the MN Historical Society at www.mnhs.corg. They have two interesting books: Pictorial Atlas of Polk County, Title Atlas Company, and Compendium of History and Biography of Polk County by R.I. Holcombe. My map shows Lessor Township being just north of McIntosh, which is east of Crookston, the county seat, along U.S. Hiway 2.
