There are already two gentleman listed on familysearch.org under the Peter Liam Murphy name. Again no mention of ohio County. Have you obtained his death certificate? In the county in Indiana where he lived try and a History Book on that county. Sometimes in the time frame of 1880-1890 books were written and biographies were written on those individuals of that county and alot of information is available on their background.

Hi, I need help, lol. I haven't researched in Ohio before so am not familiar with my options, plus this one is difficult on it's own :-) I've got a Peter Liam Murphy who was born 1806 in Ohio what are my options on trying to find out where? He ended up in Spencer county, Indiana and was married in Dearborn County, Ind. I'm heading to the local FHC after work to see if they have any films there, for wills, probate, marriage - but I thought I'd work both ends if possible. Peter named one of his sons Lehue, and there is a John Murphy who married a Susannah LeHue in Campbell county, KY in 1797. Yesterday I went to the local library that has genealogy and looked through their books (I'm in Calif, so it wasn't huge, but still took me 2hrs), but started getting frustrated since there were/are tons of John Murphy's! I tried the Ohio birth database on familysearch but it doesn't start until 1821. William, Peter's first child (that I know of) was born in KY about 1834 the rest in Indiana, 1836-55 (1850 in Spencer co, IN & maybe in Dearborn in 1840) any suggestions?

Great idea!!!  thanks! Ancestry has a couple trees on him, but now even the Public trees you can't access without a membership so I have no clue what their source is, argh! THANK YOU!
