Katy Murphy m Peter Roqeumore 1798 GA
Catherine "Katy" Murphy married Peter Roquemore s/o James Roquemore in GA about 1798.
Over 50 years ago, my uncle did extensive searches and concluded that Katy was the daughter of Edmund Murphy and Elizabeth Ann Sullivan. He took the Murphy back to Nicholas Murphy who came with Oglethorpe's second trip to GA.He took the Sullivans back to England.
I have not found another Edmund Murphy in GA at the proper time.What I have found on Edmund s/o Nicholas is that he had two wives, neither a Sullivan.None of his daughters was named Catherine.
What I do know is that Drury and William B. Murphy witnessed a deed of James Roquemore in Warren Co., GA and witnessed his will in 1797.Since Peter and Katy married the following year, I consider it probable that one of them was Katy's father. In the 1813 Tax List for Putnam, all four sons of James Roquemore are listed(Peter, James, Thomas and John).A John Murphy, but no Drury Murphy was on this 1813 list.However, a Drury Murphy married 1814 in Putnam.
Does anyone have anything to support Edmund, Drury or William B. Murphy as the father of Catherine "Katy" Murphy?
