Colleen,
This might not be much help but I'll let you know what I know.My Great, Grandfather Murphy settled in Canada after emigrating from Ireland in the 1800's.My Grandfather,Henry A. Murphy moved to Ogdensburg, N.Y. in the late 1800's or at the turn of the century.Prior to this,he and his family family lived in Prescott,Ontario, before moving to Ogdensburg.Ogdensburg is a small community,located in St. Lawrence County, in Northern New York State. I have a nephew,Steven Murphy, who has done extensive genealogical reasearch on the Murphy family as it relates to my grandfather( his great grandfather.) He might be able to share some of his research withor at least give you sites to help in your search. He can be reached on line at [email protected]. Surprisingly, my grandfather's niece,Phyllis Brosnan, is alive and continues to live in Ogdensburg. She is Maude Murphy Brosnan's daughter. Maude Murphy Brosnanwas my grandfather's sister. Hope you find what you are looking for.
John Murphy,
Holland,New York
