I am not sure if there is a connection with your Murphy family but it is possible, since immigrants tended to settle where they already had relatives. My great-grandmother, Bridget Murphy, b. about 1874 in Ireland (prob. Enniscorthy, County Wexford), emigrated to America around 1887, m. John J. Callaghan (Callahan) of County Donegal prob. around 1897. I have not found their marriage record. They later belonged to St. Patrick's Church and lived at 7 Huntington Street in Utica. Their three children were born in 1898, 1901, and 1903. Bridget died December 21, 1909 in Utica. Her death certificate lists her parents in Ireland as James MURPHY and Mary MULLIGAN. Largely from her obituary, Bridget Murphy's siblings, all born in Ireland, appear to have been: Michael Murphy, living in Utica in 1909. John Andrew Murphy, b. about 1888, naturalized in 1940, d. in Utica Aug. 30 1959, unmarried, leaving surviving nephew Michael Murphy of Syracuse and niece Mrs. Helen Dyer of New Bedford, MA. Patrick Murphy, living in North Carolina in 1909. James Murphy, living in Ireland in 1909. Philip, living in Ireland in 1909. Anna or Annie, b. about 1874, m. _____ ROWLAND, living in Brooklyn, NY, in 1909. She is probably the Annie McENEANY, age 75, who according to a newspaper report of March 23, 1949, died aboard the liner Marine Marlin while returning from Ireland. She had lived at 176 Fulton Street, Brooklyn, and her brothers John and Michael Murphy of Utica claimed her body. Margaret Murphy of Utica, m. Moyses Whalen Oct. 9, 1901 at St. Patrick's Church, Utica. Mary Murphy, living in Ireland in 1909. Kate Murphy (Mrs. Morris Murphy). I hope this is helpful in some way.
