Michael Dunn has done a wonderful job of connecting Marshall and Maury Co.s TN to Franklin Co. NC for several surnames. His Collins and Vinson(Vincent) information do a great job of shoring up my contention that my Murphys came from Franklin Co.NC to Maury/Marshall Co. TN. Some good work here, check it out at: http://www.tamandmichael.com/genealogy.htm Also, sorry I've been a little slow on my web page updates. Got several microfilms I'm going through now containing so far unrelated Murphys (but I'll post them), and I've been busy at work & holidays, etc, excuses, excuses. -- "I'm a student of life, and I hope I don't graduate soon."
