Individual Details

I have no proof for the surname of Nancy. Probably married about 1790 in Laurens District, South Carolina. A letter from Mrs. John C. Robbins Jr in the Andrea file, dated 19 Sep 1955, states that a Richardson Bible gives Roger Murphy's wife as listed "Miss Wilson from Virginia". There are some Richardson Bible records in the file but not this one.

Comment by Andrea: "I was told by one of the older persons of Hurricane Creek area that one Roger Murphy married a Powell and the other Roger married a Wilson, but which was which they had no idea.
