Hi Leslie,
Sorry I didn't see your message till today. How great that you were able to meet your Irish ancestors' descendants! My Irish John Murphy, who is supposedly a cousin of my direct line Irish Jeremiah Murphy, married Catherine Cronin. My guess is that he was born about 1830, and immigrated to the U.S. by at least the mid 1850's. I know very little about him. I don't know of a Rebecca Murphy in my tree, but that might not mean anything. I do have a Daniel Murphy born in the late 1800's, but I'm not aware that he ever lived in Malden.
Our Murphy family may be distantly related -- if I find out anything additional that I think you might be interested in, I'll post it.
