| My GGrandfather & GGrandmother, William & Mary (GANNON) MURPHY came
from Wicklow and Dublin, Ireland respectively, to Brooklyn, NY where they were
married in a Catholic ceremony in 1860-61. They came to Dekalb County and settled
in Stewartsville where he worked for the Hannibal & St Joseph RR (on the section).
My grandfather, James, was born 19 Jan 1870 and his sister, Margaret (Maggie), was
born in May 1871. He also worked for the Rock Island RR and CB & Q, which later
became Burlington. He worked in several other areas: Meersville, Lineville (Iowa),
Halls Station, Winthrop, Corning, Flatbush (?), Bolchow, Craig & Maryville. James
followed in his footsteps, working for CB & Q and Burlington. James eventually
settled in St Joseph. I'm not sure if his parents did. He married Ada FICKELL in
Maryville, Nodaway County, MO at his parents home on 1 Oct 1893. My father,
Lawrence Leslie (born 15 May 1916 in St Joseph) was the next to the last of 7
children (I have their names, etc.) and placed in a Catholic orphanage when he
was 7 (about 1923). The bulk of this information was given to my father in 1945,
a few months before James passed away. His mother passed away in 1961. I am
looking for all of the vital records on these people (birth & death certificates,
baptismal records, including information on the RR, the orphanage, family contacts,
cemetery, deeds, wills, church affiliations, everything?)
