Hoping with this general posting to get a connection. Thanks, Carol Brown
William (b. 1832) and Bridget Murphy (b. 1837) immigrated to Toledo, Ohio,from Ireland
circa 1851. (Bridget also goes by the nickname Delia. Her maiden name may be
Waldron/Waldon). All the men in the family had an
occupation of plasterer.
William and Bridget moved to Lafayette, Tippecanoe, in July 1860 from Toledo Ohio. They
made the move just in time for the 1860 Census:
William Murphy 28 M Plasterer Ireland
Delia Murphy 27 F Ireland
Peter Murphy* 4 M Ohio
(*No subsequent record of Peter Murphy. Most likely
died young.)
William Murphy 2 M Ohio
They had two more children, John Ambrose (b. 1861) and Catherine (Cate, b. 1865). They
lived in Lafayette until about 1890 when they relocated to Little Rock, Arkansas.
