I was wondering if perhaps your John Murphy had any brothers in Rockingham County as well.
I'm researching my Bateman line and know that John H. Bateman married Sallie B. Murphy in Rockingham Co, NC on 7 March 1878.They were the parents of my great-grandfather, Arthur Gray Bateman.
The reason I'm interested in your John, or perhaps any brothers he may have, is that everyone (my dad, his cousins, etc.) swear that Gray was part Cherokee.They believe that he was 1/4.Which would fit it with your John Murphy.....cause the Batemans haven't got any Cherokee in them as far as I can tell.
Do any of these names sound familiar?
