Sharon,
Thanks for the response.It is exciting to think that we've made a possible connection.Sorry, I do not have any Springer's or Geddis' names in the info I have.I have a great uncle Levi Harrison "Harry" Murphy s/o of John Brice Murphy. He might be named after Levi Springer.My Benjamin Murphy's chrildren were born in PA and Ohio.The info I have shows that Benjamin died 1851 in Darke Co. Ohio.Robert Gerald Murphy & Elizabeth Duvall Murphy are buried in the Hoover Cemetary, Wayne twp. Randolph County, Indiana. I have visited their grave site.
I have conflicting locations as to Robert Gerald Murphy place of birth.His obit. Listed Redstone MD, which I believe is PA.Information from the "Randolph County History 1882" listed his birth in Trumball County, Ohio.The first 5 of Robert Gerald Murphy & Elizabeth Duvall Murphy's children were born in Ohio the other 10 were born in Randolph Co., Indiana.
One note is that Robert G. Murphy was Presbyterian.I've been told that this line of Murphy's came to america in 1677 on a ship named the Kent.I've been able to find that the Kent did sail to America in 1677 but no record of any Murphy's on it.
Thanks, Larry
