This pioneer of Shelby County was born in Mason County, Ky., Nov. 27, 1808. His parents, John and Martha Murphy, came to Ohio and located at Springfield in the spring of 1810. Mrs. Murphy died in 1817, and William was sent back to Kentucky with his sister and brother, to be cared for by relatives. About a year later their father married Mrs. Margaret Robinson, nee Miss Sturm, and in 1818 moved to Shelby County. In Jan. 1819 Mr. Murphy returned to Kentucky and brought his three children to his new home in this county.
From that time William made his home at his father's, although his youth was largely spent as a student at Springfield and Sidney. [more about his life and work]
