My ggg-grandmother was Margaret Murphy who married Patrick Groody. However, I descend from Margaret's first marriage to Michael Lawler. Margaret Murphy & Michael Lawler had a daughter, Mary Lawler, in 1842. My Mary Lawler lived with her grandmother, Ellen Murphy, after Margaret remarried to Patrick Groody. In the 1850 Census, my Mary Lawler, was living with her grandmother, Ellen Murphy, and with Ellen's children Dennis, Thomas, Catherine & Ellen. Dennis was your gg-grandfather. My Margaret Murphy and your gg-grandfather, Dennis Murphy, were siblings. So, we are like 4th cousins! My questions are: Can you email me the descendants of Dennis & Anna? Also, Dennis' siblings Thomas, Catherine & Ellen. Maybe you have a gedcom file or family sheets that you could send. Do you know anything about Dennis' parents? It looks like his mother was Ellen from the 1850 Census. Do you know from what part of Ireland did the Murphy's come? It looks like some of kids were born in MASS & NY. Do you know the story? Do you know anything about the Lawler's? I'm 43 year old with a 3-1/2 year old daughter living just outside of Philadelphia.
