George Washington Murphey, St Louis MO
I have a George Washington Murphey from St Louis son of Louis W. Murphey.
George married Alvina Wilhelmina Wallenbrock of Mo when she was 16 while he was a deputy in Leadville Colorado. George later helped build the city hall.The Wallenbrocks (a lot of them fought in the Civil War) moved to Colorado in search of wealth. By 1919 the Murpheys were back in St Louis where they remain.I believe that the Wallenbrocks family goes back to the female side of the Kahn family of St. Louis.
