General Notes: Notes for JOHN R. MURPHY: [Handwritten Notes of Steven Myers, pgs. 3-8:]
He had a bad arm which he called his "lady's arm," but was still noted for his exceptional strength and would readily except the challenge to it. He was short, but had a muscular build. John R. built a home on Turkhill Rd. on land given him by his father. He probably also farmed this land. His daughter Katharine of his first wife Catherine Patton was raised by in-laws in Michigan. In 1904, John R. visited his daughter, Katharine, in Michigan for the first time.

General Notes: Notes for RICHARD MURPHY: [Handwritten Notes by Steven Myers, pgs. 1-2:]
RICHARD MURPHY I was born circa 1801 in County Kildare, Ireland. He married MARY O'NEIL, daughter of ______ O'NEIL and WEALTHY HARE. She was born circa 1807 in Ireland. They settled in New York in 1851 with their young family in order to escape the potato famine. Richard could read and write, as could his wife, Mary. Letters were often brought to him to be read by the other immigrant Irish to be read. He built a home on Whitney Road in Fairport, which served as a site for religious services before a church was available. He farmed the 17 acres around his home there and also land he owned on Turkhill Rd. in the Town of Perrinton. This latter was divided into 18 acre parcels for his sons when they came of age. According to the Monroe County Directory of 1869-70 he was a farmer of 105 1/2 acres. The 1870 federal census valued his real estate at $5000. Besides farming Richard and his sons also did work on the Erie Canal which ran close by. Richard left his farm on Whitney Rd. to his son James. Richard and his wife are both buried in the Murphy family plot in St. Mary's Cemetery, known commonly to the old Irish as Murphy's Hill. The cemetery is located on land Richard had given to his son Stephen. Richard died December 9, 1876 age 75 (church records show age 74). His wife Mary died August 11, 1882 age 75 (church records show age 70).
