Murphy family of Kiltoom

Post by Kathleen Hegarty Thorne »

I am currently writing a book about the Roscommon Volunteers of 1916-1-23. Does anyone know of any descendants of the Murphy family who lived in the St. John's area during the War for Independence? I live in Oregon and have a telephone book for Roscommon, but can you guess how many Murphys there are that reside in the area? (Smile)

Yes, 35 all in Area Code 0902, most in/near Athlone; St. Peter's parish.<p>Do you want St. John's (which includes Knockcroghery) or Kiltoom? See next post by Pat Lavin for a reference.

(Smile)<p>Kathleen, You may be able to get a name from the information under Roscommon or a surrounding county in the listing under: http://homepage.tinet.ie/~eirenua/may99 ... tm<p>Since there are no emails given, you may have to write or call where perhaps only one person by that name resides. There is a Murphy listed under Roscommon who may know or can get the information you need. The people are probably familar with the history of the area.<p>
