Hello; Patrick Murray m. 1841 Mary Chapman, in Fermoy, Co. Cork. Mary was possibly the daughter of Thomas and Mary Chapman of Fermoy. In 1846, Patrick Murray is listed in I. Slater's Directory of Ireland as running the Public House in Clondulane, which is still operating in the same location. An 1881 family letter that makes reference to Murrays in Virginia lead to the discovery, after a search of Virginia Census Records for the years 1860, 1870 and 1880, that Patrick and Mary moved to Virginia, where Patrick is listed as a laborer, estate value, $20.00. In the 1860 US Federal Census, Clarke County, Virginia, PO White Post, 18 July, 1860, page 671, entry # 518. Living with them is their nephew Patrick Murray, bpt. 1844, son of James Murray and Margaret O'Brien who remained in Clondulane, near Fermoy, co. Cork. In the 1870 US Federal Census, Warren County, Virginia, 2nd Township, PO Front Royal, 16 August, 1870, page 437, entry # 156, Patrick and Mary are not listed, however, their 2 children John and George are residing with their nephew Patrick Murray, RR Manager (possibly Manassas Railway), who had just married that year, Catherine Falvey, daughter of Timothy and Shene Falvey. Patrick and Catherine do not appear to have left issue.
