seven of whom were living in 1890 and named in their

I have the will in the book as well. Let me know if
you would like me to type it out.

  Miles Pinckney MURPHY, Sr., born 20 November 1808,
married his first cousin, Eleanor J. C. MACK, daughter
of Willaim and Mary BLAIR MACK, on 3 February 1835.
Miles P. MUROHY, Sr. died 5 January 1874, and his wife
died 26 November 1870. Both are buried in the MURPHY
Cemetery in Maury County, where they had spent their
lives. The Family charts for Polly MACK MURPHY will
name the children of Miles P. MURPHY, Sr. and Eleanor
J.C. MACK MURPHY.
  The grandchildren of this couple lived and died in
Maury County. Many are buried in the Ross Hill
Cemetery. Two sons of Miles P. MURPHY, Jr. died early:
John M. MURPHY, 25, "A servant of God - Highest
calling of Man", was preparing for the Ministry when
he died of Typhoid Fever 27 February 1898; Nathaniel
Franklin MURPHY, 23, died 10 September 1898 of
consumption. Two other sons of Miles P. MURPHY, Jr.
lived to old age: Ernest (past 91) and Isiah
Constantine (85). Isiah C. MURPHY was a well known
orchardist and shipped apples to many places in the
United States.
   Sarah Constantine Elizabeth MURPHY, daughter of
Miles P. MUROHY, Sr., married A.A. MORROW. Their son
Joseph Franklin (1878-1947) was postmaster at Mt.
Pleasant, Tennessee, 1923-1927. Dr. William Mack
MORROW, son of Joseph F. MORROW, is presently a
profesor at Valdosta State College, Valdosta, Georgia.
His half-brother, H. Pacton MORROW, and wife Sara
SPROTT MORROW live in Nashville, Tennessee. We are
indebted to Mrs. Sara S. MORROW for information on
some present day descendants of MURPHY and MORROW
families. Mrs. MORROW was drama editor for the
NASHVILLE BANNER until her retirement in 1979.
