What do you think it is? in the 1967 book it has a Mary Jane Kindred Murphy - but
it's one of the broken links so I'm sure Ron Warta the family historian would be
interested in whatever you have - even if its all speculation right now.
this is a cut and paste from the book - remember they have been working on it since
then, so they might have more info by now - if you can tell me who you think she? married,
I can look that up and try to help! You might have the missing link to Donna and Ron too.
and I'm in Orange county - 92627 :) and have Murphy's on my dad's side,
lol
"We have not been able to contact any known descendants of James, Abner, Franklin,
or John, but we hope that the family lists (taken from 1850 through 1880 Census lists)
given here for James and Abner following the section on William's descendants will
help some of their descendants to fit them­selves in. We do know that Roscoe
Nathaniel Lehew, who died in Whitefish, Montana in 1958, was a descendant of one of the
Cainsville, Tennessee Lehews (he was born in Cainsville, Tenn. in 22 Sept. 1885). However,
since they were able to give us only the nickname (Bud) of Roscoe's father, we
cannot tell which family he belonged to. Bud died in Cainsville in 1887. Roscoe's
widow, Charlotte or Lottie Lehew, told us that Roscoe's mother was Mary Jane Kindred
Murphy, and that Mary Jane and Bud were married in Cainsville, Tenn. about 1881. We
have a Wilson Co., Tenn. record of a marriage between one F. L. Lehew and Mary Jane Murphy
in 1882. Who F. L. Lehew was we do not know,
but surely this is Bud. The only F. Lehew on Rutherford and Wilson Co. census lists 1850
through 1870 is Franklin, whose middle initial is never shown. We have no way of telling
whether Franklin could have married a second time in 1882. We could not find him on the
1880 Census. There were no children listed with Franklin in 1850, 1860, or 1870."

Hi - in your Lehue material do you show any connection to
a Murphy line around 1800 or earlier? We have been told
there is one but have failed to locate.
thanks,
