Edward Emmett Murphy1

b. 1 April 1836, d. 10 February 1911
Family
Father*John Murphy2 b. 1789, d. 1860
Mother*Mary Ann Fiddy2 b. 1808, d. Nov 1869
Birth*1 April 1836Edward Emmett Murphy was born on 1 April 1836 in Florence, Lauderdale County, Alabama.1 
Name VariationHe was also called Emmett.1 
(Son) Census US 185018 December 1850Edward was enumerated on the 1850 census taken on 18 December 1850 in the household of his parents in Florence, Lauderdale County, Alabama. He was 14 years old and had attended school within the census year.3 
(Son) Census US 186014 June 1860Edward E. was enumerated on the 1860 census taken on 14 June 1860 in the household of his parents in Florence, Lauderdale County, Alabama. He was 24 years of age and worked as a laborer.4 
Marriage*He married first Mary A. Robinson.5 
Marriage*23 April 1874He married second, as her first husband, Arminta Elizabeth Ratliff, daughter of Robert Ratliff and Mary Edwards, on 23 April 1874.1,6 
(Father) Research NotesEvidence indicates that Frances Murphy and Florence Eliza Jane Murphy, biological daughters of Edward Emmett Murphy, both believed their biological mother was Arminta Elizabeth (Ratliff) Murphy, their father's second, or possibly even his third or fourth, wife. Arminta raised the girls and certainly considered them her daughters. Confusion over biological relationships, of course, doesn't really matter, except for genealogical purposes. Maybe, if anyone really cares, DNA will one day solve the issue. For now, we'll explain our research findings and current thinking. Edward Emmett Murphy married, as his first wife, Mary A. Robinson, and they had a son, Thomas William Edward Murphy, born on 4 December 1865. Researchers tracking Thomas believed his mother died before 1870 because Thomas was enumerated, at 5 years of age, on the 1870 census in the household of his father's brother, William F. Murphy. Those same researchers also reported that Thomas's father married a second wife in 1874. We haven't ever found Thomas together with either of his parents.

For most of his life, Edward Emmett Murphy was able to do a masterful job of avoiding the census takers. We found him with his parents in Florence, Lauderdale County, Alabama, in 1850 and 1860, and are embarrassed to admit we have been unable to find him in any of the 1870, 1880, 1900 or 1910 censuses.

Edward Emmett Murphy married Arminta Elizabeth (Ratliff) Murphy on 23 April 1874, which would make our research a lot less complicated if Edward's two daughters, Frances Murphy and Florence Eliza Jane Murphy, hadn't both been born earlier than that. Frances was born on 31 March 1870 and Florence on 16 June 1873.

So... How many wives did Edward Emmett Murphy have? Was Mary A. Robinson the biological mother of all three of his children? If not, who was the biological mother of Frances and Florence? Or... Oops! Did Frances and Florence have different biological mothers? Whatever the truth, Arminta, Frances and Florence all considered Arminta Elizabeth (Ratliff) Murphy to be their "real" mother.7,8,5,4,3,9,10,11,6,1 
(Husband) Death6 October 1901Edward Emmett became a widower when Arminta Elizabeth (Ratliff) Murphy died on 6 October 1901 at age 57.6 
Death*10 February 1911He died on 10 February 1911 near Minimum, Iron County, Missouri, at age 741,2 
Burial* and was buried in Russell Cemetery, Iron County.1

Family
Father*Edward Emmett Murphy1 b. 1 Apr 1836, d. 10 Feb 1911
Mother-Possible*Mary A. Robinson2
Birth*16 June 1873Florence Eliza Jane Murphy was born on 16 June 1873 in Texas County, Missouri, her date of birth calculated from her reported age at death on her death certificate.3,1 
Research Notes*Evidence indicates that Frances Murphy and Florence Eliza Jane Murphy, biological daughters of Edward Emmett Murphy, both believed their biological mother was Arminta Elizabeth (Ratliff) Murphy, their father's second, or possibly even his third or fourth, wife. Arminta raised the girls and certainly considered them her daughters. Confusion over biological relationships, of course, doesn't really matter, except for genealogical purposes. Maybe, if anyone really cares, DNA will one day solve the issue. For now, we'll explain our research findings and current thinking. Edward Emmett Murphy married, as his first wife, Mary A. Robinson, and they had a son, Thomas William Edward Murphy, born on 4 December 1865. Researchers tracking Thomas believed his mother died before 1870 because Thomas was enumerated, at 5 years of age, on the 1870 census in the household of his father's brother, William F. Murphy. Those same researchers also reported that Thomas's father married a second wife in 1874. We haven't ever found Thomas together with either of his parents.

For most of his life, Edward Emmett Murphy was able to do a masterful job of avoiding the census takers. We found him with his parents in Florence, Lauderdale County, Alabama, in 1850 and 1860, and are embarrassed to admit we have been unable to find him in any of the 1870, 1880, 1900 or 1910 censuses.

Edward Emmett Murphy married Arminta Elizabeth (Ratliff) Murphy on 23 April 1874, which would make our research a lot less complicated if Edward's two daughters, Frances Murphy and Florence Eliza Jane Murphy, hadn't both been born earlier than that. Frances was born on 31 March 1870 and Florence on 16 June 1873.

So... How many wives did Edward Emmett Murphy have? Was Mary A. Robinson the biological mother of all three of his children? If not, who was the biological mother of Frances and Florence? Or... Oops! Did Frances and Florence have different biological mothers? Whatever the truth, Arminta, Frances and Florence all considered Arminta Elizabeth (Ratliff) Murphy to be their "real" mother.4,5,2,6,7,8,1,3,9,10 
Marriage*10 June 1888She married first, as his first wife, Jasper Marion Womack, son of Abner Womack and Polly Ann __?__, on 10 June 1888 in Union Township, Iron County, Missouri.11,12,1 
Marriage*13 June 1897She married second Steven G. DeBoard, son of Enoch DeBoard and Mary Ann Dixon, on 13 June 1897 in Iron County, Missouri. Researchers have found it easy to confuse Steven Walter DeBoard with his father, Steven Gilmore Deboard, who married as his second wife Florence Eliza Jane (Murphy) Womack. Steven W. DeBoard was a veteran of World War I, married Violet Usser, and is memorialized on the Find a Grave website. He is connected there incorrectly, though, as the husband of Florence. Florence's husband was Steven Gilmore Deboard.13,14,15 
Census US 1900*14 June 1900Florence and Gilmore DeBoard were enumerated on the 1900 census taken on 14 June 1900 in Union Township, Iron County, Missouri. Gilmore's birth was recorded as June 1862, which would have made him only 39 years of age, although he was actually age 42. He was a farmer and had worked every month of the census year. Florence's birth was recorded as June 1872, making her one year older than her 26 years. They rented their farm, had been married for three years, and Florence reported she had given birth to only one child and had no living child. Gilmore's two children from his first marriage, Ellen and Walter DeBoard, were enumerated nearby, on the previous page of the township's census, in the household of Gilmore's parents, Mary Ann, recorded as "Martha" by the census taker, and Enoch DeBoard.16,17 
Census US 1910*22 April 1910Florence and Steven G. DeBoard were enumerated on the 1910 census taken on 21 and 22 April 1910 in Union Township, Iron County, Missouri. The "W" recorded by the census taker as Steven's middle initial should be a "G" as this was the household of Steven Gilmore Deboard, Steven Walter DeBoard's father. Steven Gilmore was 51 years of age and a general farmer and employer, and his wife Florence was 36 years of age. Steven could read but not write, and Florence could neither read nor write. They reported being married to each other for 14 years, that it was the first marriage for each, and that Florence had given birth to 14 children, 5 of whom were living. As far as we've been able to ascertain, it was the second marriage for each, they had been married to each other for 13 years, Gilmore had three children from his first marriage, at least two of whom were living, Florence had two children from her first marriage, and together they had three children. Four children were enumerated with them in 1910. Emmett Womack, Florence's son from her first marriage, was recorded by the census taker as Emmett DeBoard. He was 15 years old, worked on the home farm, could read and write, and had attended school within the census year. Thomas C. and Manirva, ages 7 and 6 years, respectively, were the couple's children, as was their baby Nettie, who was one month old. Enumerated in the next household on the same census page, was Steven's brother, John H., with their widowed mother, Mary Ann DeBoard, who had been recorded as Polly Ann.18,19 
Census US 1920*19 January 1920Florence E. J. DeBoard was enumerated as the head of her household on the 1920 census taken on 19 January 1920 on Annapolis and Crane Pond Road, Union Township, Iron County, Missouri. She was 43 years of age, a widow, could neither read nor write, and rented her home. Four children and a brother-in-law were enumerated with her in 1920. William T. DeBoard was 17 years old, could read and write, and worked for wages as a track laborer. Manirva E. and Nettie G. DeBoard were ages 15 and 9 years, respectively. Manirva could read and write, and both had attended school within the census year. Emmett B. Womack, a son from Florence's first marriage, was single, 24 years of age, could read and write and, like William, worked for wages as a track laborer. Florence's brother-in-law, John H. DeBoard, resided with the family as a boarder. He was single, 49 years of age, could read and write, and worked for wages as a grade laborer. William, Emmett and John all worked for a railway company.20 
Death*12 June 1938She died on 12 June 1938 in Annapolis, Iron County, Missouri, at the age of 64 years, 11 months and 27 days3,1 
Burial*13 June 1938 and was buried on 13 June 1938 in Collins Cemetery, Minimum, Iron County.1

Frances Murphy1

b. 31 March 1870, d. 10 November 1953
Family
Father*Edward Emmett Murphy2 b. 1 Apr 1836, d. 10 Feb 1911
Mother-Possible*Mary A. Robinson3
Birth*31 March 1870Frances Murphy was born on 31 March 1870 in Licking, Texas County, Missouri.1 
Research Notes*Evidence indicates that Frances Murphy and Florence Eliza Jane Murphy, biological daughters of Edward Emmett Murphy, both believed their biological mother was Arminta Elizabeth (Ratliff) Murphy, their father's second, or possibly even his third or fourth, wife. Arminta raised the girls and certainly considered them her daughters. Confusion over biological relationships, of course, doesn't really matter, except for genealogical purposes. Maybe, if anyone really cares, DNA will one day solve the issue. For now, we'll explain our research findings and current thinking. Edward Emmett Murphy married, as his first wife, Mary A. Robinson, and they had a son, Thomas William Edward Murphy, born on 4 December 1865. Researchers tracking Thomas believed his mother died before 1870 because Thomas was enumerated, at 5 years of age, on the 1870 census in the household of his father's brother, William F. Murphy. Those same researchers also reported that Thomas's father married a second wife in 1874. We haven't ever found Thomas together with either of his parents.

For most of his life, Edward Emmett Murphy was able to do a masterful job of avoiding the census takers. We found him with his parents in Florence, Lauderdale County, Alabama, in 1850 and 1860, and are embarrassed to admit we have been unable to find him in any of the 1870, 1880, 1900 or 1910 censuses.

Edward Emmett Murphy married Arminta Elizabeth (Ratliff) Murphy on 23 April 1874, which would make our research a lot less complicated if Edward's two daughters, Frances Murphy and Florence Eliza Jane Murphy, hadn't both been born earlier than that. Frances was born on 31 March 1870 and Florence on 16 June 1873.

So... How many wives did Edward Emmett Murphy have? Was Mary A. Robinson the biological mother of all three of his children? If not, who was the biological mother of Frances and Florence? Or... Oops! Did Frances and Florence have different biological mothers? Whatever the truth, Arminta, Frances and Florence all considered Arminta Elizabeth (Ratliff) Murphy to be their "real" mother.4,5,3,6,7,1,8,9,10,2

John Murphy1,2

b. 1789, d. 1860
Family
Birth*1789John Murphy was born about 1789 in County Wexford, Ireland.1,3,2 
Marriage*30 December 1832He married, probably second, Mary Ann Fiddy on 30 December 1832 in Limestone County, Alabama. At the time of their marriage, John had two sons William F. Murphy and John Murphy, born about 1828 and 1829, three years before John and Mary Ann's marriage, and believed to have been biological sons from a previous marriage we have not identified. The boys were raised by their father and Mary Ann, and all indications are that, although not biologically, they considered Mary Ann their mother.1,4 
Census US 1850*18 December 1850Mary and John Murphy were enumerated on the 1850 census taken on 18 December 1850 in Florence, Lauderdale County, Alabama. John was 61 years of age and a tanner, and Mary was 42 years of age. Six children were enumerated with them in 1850. Son John, who was likely father John's son from a previous marriage, was 21 years of age and worked as a tanner like his father; the other five, all believed to be children of John and Mary Ann, were Eliza, Edward, Thomas, Joseph and Jackson, ages 17, 14, 12, 10 and 5 years, respectively. The family was literate, and Edward, Thomas and Joseph had all attended school within the census year.3 
Census US 1860*14 June 1860Mary A. and John Murphy were enumerated on the 1860 census taken on 14 June 1860 in Florence, Lauderdale County, Alabama. John was 70 years of age and a retired boot and shoe maker with real estate valued at $200 and a personal estate valued at $202, and Mary Ann was 52 years of age. Eight children were enumerated in the Murphy household and we suspect only four or five were children of the couple. Edward E. was 24 years of age and worked as a laborer; Thomas O'C was 21 years of age and a coach maker; Joseph was 19 years old and worked as a servant; Andrew J. was 14 years old and attending school; and Mary J., who was possibly the couple's daughter, was 10 years old and attending school. Mary may also have been a granddaughter, the daughter of William F. Murphy and his first wife, Laura, if Laura had died and Mary survived. The other three children in the Murphy household are a mystery to us at this point. John Flinn was 14 years old, had been born in Alabama, and had attended school within the census year. Mary J. Murphy and Frances Murphy were both 1 year old and had both been born in Tennessee.5 
Death*1860He died in 1860 in Florence, Lauderdale County, Alabama, at about age 71.2
