Dubart Murphy, one of the pioneers of Texas, was born in Saint Francois
county, Missouri, May 26, 1806.  His father, William Murphy, was born
in Richmond, Virginia, moved to Knoxville, Tennessee, when young and in
1798 moved to what was then Saint Genevieve county, Missouri, and
surveyed a great deal of land in that State.  He served in the 
Revolutionary War as an officer, was a member of the Methodist
Episcopal church and died in Missouri about 1833.  His father was 
William Murphy, a Baptist minister of Virginia.  The subjects mother
was Rachel Henderson before marriage.  She was born in the Shenandoah
valley of Virginia.

Dubart Murphy is the youngest of a family of ten children born to his
parents and is now the only surviving member of the family.  He was
reared and educated in Missouri, near where Farmington is now located.
In 1842 he moved to Lamar county, Texas, afterward moved to Hopkins
county, and, in 1852, to Kaufman county.  He has followed farming and 
the stock business all his life and now owns a fine farm.  In 1862 he
raised a company in Kaufman county, joined the Confederate army as
captain of the company, which was annexed to the Nineteenth Texas
cavalry as Company G; but, owing to Captain Murphy's age, he soon
afterward resigned and came home.

November 9, 1836, Captain Murphy married Miss Elizabeth Anthony, of
Madison county, Missouri, who has borne him twelve children- Ellen,
Amanda, Lafayette, Samuel, William, Barton, Dubart, Joseph A., Mary S.,
Francis, Henderson and Eliza.  Mrs. Murphy died November 6, 1888.
