Just rolling into this list. I'm researching the MURPHY name, particularly William B. MURPHY who is on the 1830 census. Hey John G., I see you're looking in Union Co. also. My notes say you were looking at Simon, Richard & Arthur MURPHY. Me too. I think Arthur's grandson William B. came down from Franklin Co. NC around 1820's and stayed in Union SC before moving on to Maury Co. TN in 1830s or so. Wm B.'s cousins ended up being part of the Donner party, Lemuel & others I think, grandkids? of Mark A. MURPHY. Ate their mother as I recall. Anyway. If anyone else researching these names or C.R. BASS, James COLLINS, HIGHT, BENTON, and others, drop me a line.
