I was two hours from Lincolnton just two weeks ago.? However, my time was limited.? I am wanting to visit again soon.? My family migrated into Eastern KY from the Lincoln Co. areas.? They were in the area early to mid to?late 1700s.? The name is Murphy.? Descending from?Owen Murphey/Murphy (among other spellings) and John Murphy m. Hannah McNamare(a) in 1786, Lincoln Co., NC - I continually seek?information on this family.? According to the whitepages.com, there are still Murphys in the area.? I feel sure there must be a connection.? I also feel sometimes that Ancestors?hide.? They must have a sense of humor.? =o) ________________________________________________________________________ Email and AIM finally together.
