Family
Father*Isaac Murphy2 b. 1835
Mother*Elizabeth Dickerson2 b. 1838
(Family Member) Name SpellingsMany variations in the spelling of the Hurlbutt surname have been found in our research. Some include HULBURT, HURBBUTT, HARLBURT, HURLBULL, HULBERT, HURLBURTT and HURLBET.3,4,5,6,7,8,9 
Birth*1862Sarah Murphy was born about 1862 in Delaware.2,10 
Name VariationShe was called Sally.2 
(Daughter) Census US 188015 June 1880Sarah was enumerated on the 1880 census taken on 15 June 1880 in the household of her parents in Niles, Berrien County, Michigan. She was 18 years old and no longer attending school.11 
Marriage*1881She married, as his fourth wife, Wiliam F. Hurlbutt, son of Joseph B. Hurlbutt and Abigail Peirce, about 1881.12 
Death*March 1883She died in March 1883, in Buchanan, Michigan, at about age 21. Her husband, Wiliam F. Hurlbutt, sent a note to the Buchanan newspaper for publication thanking the friends and neighbors of Buchanan and Niles for their kind assistance during her sickness, and advising them of her death. Six days later, the Niles Newspaper reported that Mrs. Wiliam Hurlbutt had died on Saturday last, under painful circumstances, adding that Mr. H. was but 38 years old, and that "this makes the fourth wife he has lost -- three by death and one by divorce. We note that the two newspapers reported different dates of death.13,14 
(Deceased) Research Notes9 April 1903Her former husband, Wiliam F. Hurlbutt, was interviewed by a Buchanan, Michigan newspaper for a feature article published by The Niles Daily Star, Niles, Berrien County, Michigan, on 9 April 1903 under the headlines, "Marriage a Success" and "Views of Michigan Man Who Has Had Six Wives". (We note that Wiliam had married his seventh wife, Nellie (Daugherty) Vincent Hurlbutt, on 27 June 1901, two years before this interview.) In a light-hearted style, the article began by stating that after having escaped the shot and shell of some of the fiercest battles of the civil war, a Michigan veteran came home only to have fired at him six effectual shafts from Cupid's bow, and was at that time living with his sixth wife in Buchanan. It stated that Wiliam F. Hurlbutt is the name of the man who had, within a period of 34 years, capitulated a half dozen times to the little winged god.

Hurlbutt was then but 56 years old. He was a month less than 14 years old when he went in the Union army and was first married the year after the close of the war, in 1866. He was next married in 1870, and again in 1879, 1881 and 1902.

He was quoted as saying, "I believe in the wedded state," when spoken to concerning his record. "Children were born to me and I considered it my duty to keep them under a mother's care. None of my wives came to me as a result of a long courtship, although I met my first wife while I was at home from the war on a furlough. I do not believe in spending a long time in finding out whether I love a woman or whether she loves me; all that a man who really wants a wife who is well suited to him need do is to have a frank and serious talk before the marriage and before it is too late. Little heart to heart conferences throw a flood of light ahead.

" Have my marriages brought me happiness? An average amount, yes. I have always been a home man; I have tried to spend my evenings by my own fireside.

"Which wife did I like best? You must not expect me to answer such a question. The memory of the dead is sacred; I loved them all.

"I believe in taking the wife along wherever the husband goes; I have always found a deal of pleasure in that custom."

The journalist wrote that one odd feature of Hurlbutt's married life is that he secured four of his wives from two families, taking two sisters, one after the other in one family and repeating the experience in another.15 
(Deceased) Domestic Abuse2 June 1903 On 2 June 1903, a disturbing article was published in The Saginaw Courier-Herald of Saginaw, Michigan about Sarah's former husband, Wiliam F. Hurlbutt of Buchanan, Michigan, and his many wives. Under the titles, "Abused His Wife as She Lay Dying" and "Citizens Make Charges of Gross Cruelty Against W. F. Hurlbutt of Niles", the newspaper, forwarding the story from Niles, Michigan on May 30, reported that the town of Buchanan, five miles to the west, was greatly aroused over the action of Wiliam F. Hurlbutt, a mason by trade, a so-called portable matrimonial bureau by profession, and an alleged tyrant by nature. The story reported he had been married seven times, that five of the women were dead, another was living in South Bend, Indiana while his present wife was lying at the point of death in the family home.

"Buchanan was stirred, as she rarely is, at the actions of Hurlbutt the other night." The account reported that his wife was lying on the couch, the victim of pneumonia, heart trouble, and a complication of other ailments, and that the physicians in attendance had little hope for her chances of recovery, placing them as one against a thousand. Hurlbutt came home in the evening, under the influence of liquor, and started in to abuse the poor woman saying, "Why don't you die; you are a nuisance and expense to me." He then turned his tongue on the others in the household, and the neighbors were attracted by the "racket. A miniature indignation meeting was held, the marshal was sent for and he finally succeeded in restoring quiet.

The article went on to report that Hurlbutt's varied matrimonial experiences had been the topic of household discussions in Buchanan for a long time and that, strangely enough, his wives had died with striking regularity. One, then living in South Bend, Indiana, Mary E. Phillips, she having assumed her prior married name, was credited with saying that Hurlbutt would have sent her to her grave if she had continued to live with him. Some of Hurlbutt's matrimonial alliances had been brought about through the aid of a matrimonial bureau, and he had married the woman who was then critically ill three months after the death of her predecessor.16

Census US 1880*5 July 1880Thomas was enumerated on the 1880 census taken on 5 July 1880 in Brooklyn, Massac County, Illinois. He was 16 years old and was working as a servant in the household of James S. Tolston, who was 48 years of age and a farmer, and his wife, Louisey B., who was 46 years of age and keeping house. The couple's adopted daughter, Marry J. Tolston, age 11, was also enumerated with her parents, as was Linnie Been, who was 30 years of age, a widow, and worked for the family as a housekeeper. Everyone in the household could read, and all except Thomas Murphy and the couple's daughter could write.3 
Marriage*12 April 1886He married first Minnie M. Morrow, daughter of William Morrow and Elizabeth Whitehouse, on 12 April 1886 in Massac County, Illinois.4 
(Husband) Death1896Thomas became a widower when Minnie M. (Morrow) Murphy died about 1896 at about age 29, not long after giving birth to her last child. Thomas was left with five young children under the age of 10 years.1

They had been married for one year, the second marriage for both, and Cassie had given birth to one child and she was living. The couple rented their house. Six children were enumerated with them in 1900, five from Thomas's first marriage and one from Cassie's. The merged children of the couple were listed by the census taker in birth order, and Thomas's daughter Eva was listed first as the oldest. Her birth date was recorded incorrectly, though, as July 1894, and her age as 5 years, while she was actually, we believe, 12 years old and born in July 1887. Thomas's sons, Henry and Willie, were ages 10 and 6 years, respectively, and Henry was able to both read and write; Cassie's daughter, Daisy Lynn, was also 6 years old; and Thomas's two youngest, Harvey and Mary, were ages 4 and 3 years, respectively.6
