Mary Murphyb.c. 1775 marr. Isaac Briggs Sr.
Hoping someone out there can fill me in on the parents/ancestry of one Mary Murphy, who is alleged to have been born c. 1765-70 in New Jersey and who married Isaac Briggs Sr c. 1787-90?.This couple were settled in Ohio Co. and Marshall Co. VA/W.VA by 1820 and Isaac died there in 1841.Their children are said to be:
Henry b.c. 1805?
David b.c. 1805?
Isaac, b.c. 1792???(or 1802?)
Brice
Thomas
John, possibly b.c. 1790-1800
Elizabeth b.c. 1813
Susanna Nancy b. 16 Aug 1814 Marshall Co. VA
Elenore
(and possibly, Elias Briggs b.c. 1798 VA, who married in Scott Co. IN in 1823 and died in Schuyler Co. IL in 1856.)
If anyone can fill me in on Mary Murphy's parents, I would be very grateful; census info indicates that she had a brother named James, who was living with them in the 1820 census and probably later.I think some of their descendants wound up in Wetzel Co. W.VA, but am unsure as to the details.
Thanks
