Dear Betty Stokes, please forgive me if I have already contacted you about checking the Old Pendleton database. I am looking for anyone named Murphy or its variations, prior to 1813. Specifically, my Alexander Murphy lived on Mile Creek from about 1800 to about 1813. His family may have been in the area before that. Thanks if you are able to help.
