This is what I found on the family in the Obion co history books. This was all under the Wilson family. It looks like any direct descendants would be descendants of Nathaniel Younger Murphey, b. August 03, 1887, died May 06, 1945. Maybe someone could check his obit and/or that of his wife, Walter Susan Wilson, died October 17, 1955 in Obion co., TN.
