Silvia K Murphy White  F W 77 Kephse SC NC NC (Sister of Isaac)

Isaac Pearson Murphy wrote two lengthy letters giving the genealogy of this Murphy family which has proven to be invaluable over the years. 

Isaac P Murphy and his sister, Sylvia K Murphy lived together after the war 'spoiled' her money and she lost her parents estate, until he died. From letters written by Isaac P Murphy, in his latter years, he seemed to suffer from arthritis as he said if he "stirred" around in the cold, I soon get full of cricks and ketches" and "my limbs from my hips down being weak and easily tired, and of late seem to have gone into a settled soreness". In 1876, he was weighting 197 lbs. but still tending to the farm, raising crops of cotton, wheat and oats. In a letter written by Jason Wiley Murphy in 1879, he stated that "both I. P. and Sister Silva was up but both feeble and Isaac can't see much, having to put up with work as he can get it." In a letter written for Isaac in April 1883, he stated that "I don't pretend to walk without my stick even across the floor." Isaac P Murphy was blind the last four years of his life we are told by Mr. Richard Dewey Murphy, age 87 of Union Co., S. C. (1996).

Isaac P. Murphy was the Administrator of his father, Sion Murphy's estate in 1845. He purchased several articles including "a lot of books and a slate." He seemed to be the one the others turned to for advice. 

Information taken from Isaac P Murphy's letters; Union County Heritage 1981; History of Padgett's Creek Church; Bible records; census records; letters from Isaac P Murphy and Jason Wiley Murphy owned by Vickie Devlin, Norcross, GA.

By Mark Murphy:

Isaac Pearson Murphy, who was the grandson of Sarah Duke Murphy, was a member
of the Fairforest (Lower) Baptist Church for 68 years.  He was a son of Sion
and Susan White Murphy, and he was born August 20, 1798 and died July 2,1886.
When a young man he married Sarah Pearson Hamilton, but his wife and child
died very early and he never remarried.  He served the Church in several
capacities while a member.  In his last years he and his sister, Sylvia
Murphy, made their home at the first Murphy home near Tyger River.

Mary White Murphy, moved to Georgia then Alabama, with her husband and family, where she died, not much is known about her life, after leaving South Carolina.  She was named after her mother's sister (Mary), and her mothers maiden name (White).  The 1860 reveals Mary and Husband were living in the large household of their Daughter, Susan S Wisdom, neither are with Susan in 1870 or 1880, this writer has assumed, they are deceased.  

As stated in the letters of administration of Isaac P. Murphy concerning his father, Sion Murphy's (deceased 1845) estate, Mary Gilliam is mentioned as an heir at law; "Mary Gilliam wife of Robert Gilliam living in the State of Georgia.

Isaac P. Murphy White M W 81 Farmer SC NC NC
Silvia K Murphy White  F W 77 Kephse SC NC NC (Sister of Isaac)

     Sylvia K. Murphy never married. She had lived with her brother, Isaac P Murphy, since, as it was put in
a letter from Susyann Delilah Bailey, "Sister Silvy wanted an interest in the home place but he (Isaac P Murphy)
thought it best for her to have it in money and lone it out and get interest but the war come and spoiled our money
and she lost her parents estate and she had been there with him (Isaac P.) waiting on him ever since father died
therefore he (Isaac P.) thought proper to treat her different from the rest of us. (re: Isaac P. estate) . When Brother
Isaac died sister Silvy chose to go to Brother (Jason) Wiley's. She left a will for you (Edy) to have 50 dollars, sister
Polly 50 dollars, Brother Hiram 50 dollars, Brother Jepthah 50 dollars and the balance equally divided between myself
(Susyann Bailey) and Brother Wiley and told the reason why because she could see us and enjoy our company." In most
of the letters written by Isaac P. and Susyann Bailey to Edy Jackson, they spoke of Sylvia's afflictions.  In a letter of
24 July 1870 Nancy W. Murphy (Jason Wiley's wife) wrote that "Isaac and Silva is doing tolerably well. I. P. carries on
his own farm, has freed folks to do the work. Silva does her own cooking, a freed woman does her washing and milking.
" Isaac wrote in a letter of 27 May 1872 that "Sister Sylvia complains of her back being effected with something like cricks
occasionally but she keeps going attending to her chickens and been doing her own cooking when the wood and water is brought
to her but she appears to look older and older and her hearing more and more deficient. IN his letter of 24 Feb. 1875, he states,
"Sister Silvy says she is never clear of suffering entirely, always complaining of soreness in her system generally and particularly
her hands and arms and feet and legs and has been complaining for some days, from cold and suffering more that usual from misery
between her shoulders and cough with asthmatic symptoms, but she is up doing all day at something of other."

     In the letter of March 1879, Jason Wiley and Nancy Newton Murphy writes, "Brother I. P. and Sister Silva is up both feeble, Isaac
can't see much, has to put up with his work as he can get it, the same freed folks lives with him. Sister Silva has spells of something
like gravel. Dr. says she ruptured, it is a pressure on the neck of the bladder, looks like she can't live at times. She don't have anyone
in the house to do for her, the negroes come and waits on her when she can't do."

Sylvia K. Murphy died 4 Aug. 1886.
She  had a talent for poetry.

Hiram Byrd (Bird) Murphy came to Georgia between 1850 and 1860. Hiram B Murphy
sold his 209 acres of land in Union County SC to Charles Barnett on 8 July 1853 and
purchased 160 acres (Lots 256 & 285 in the 14th District 2nd section of Cherokee Co GA)
for $500.00 from Joseph A Mathis on 20 September 1854 Deed recorded 7 February 1856.
He also purchased from Andrew Riggins on 2 Oct 1854 for $275.00, 130 acres, land lot 257
in the 14th District 2nd section. 

On 20 Dec. 1878, H. B. Murphy sold to Pierson L. Worley (his son in law) part of land lot
285 containing 56 acres more or less but reserving 8 acres including saw mill and dam and
east part of pond. 

The 1860 Cherokee Co., Census list Hiram B. Murphy in the P. O. Sharptop, Shakerag Township.
Page 739, Dwelling 566, Family #594. As a farmer, with 1800 property value/349 personal property
value. Born in SC. 

According to his tombstone, he was a member of the Baptist church for 55 years and a deacon of the same. 

Hiram B. Murphy and his wife, Elizabeth were members of Chalcedonia Baptist Church (before 1875)
Hwy 5, Cherokee Co GA. 

They were both dismissed by letter (no date given). Hiram B Murphy served as a deacon of
Chalcedonia Baptist Church.  

Both Hiram and Elizabeth are buried at Sharp Mountain Baptist Church, Cherokee Co GA. 

Hiram B Murphy must have been a man of strong morals as he did not mind bringing other church members
before the church, as he is found doing so in the minutes of Chalcedonia Church. 

He must have been an outspoken person; in a letter from Jason Wiley Murphy to Edy Jackson he says,
'Remember us all to Brother Hiram and family, tell them to write to us. I would love to see his handwriting
and hear him express his mind once more. "

He was also very trustworthy as seen in the following:
  Shoal Creek Baptist Church  --  State of Georgia
  Lot No. 278 13th Dist 2nd Section Cherokee Co.
     In view of the resolving of the Baptist.
     Church of Christ at Shoal Creek, We have
     rested the parcel or lot of land belonging 
     to shoal Creek Church in the hands of Wm.
     B. Daniel and Hiram B. Murphy and in case
     of their death of removal then it to fall 
     into the hands of the Deacons of the 
     nearest Baptist Church of our faith and 
     order and their successors in office to be
     reserved for a Church yard and Burying 
     place of our faith and order. It being 
     Seven acres of Lot No. 278 in the 13th 
     & 2 section.             W. W. Worley, Mdr.
                                     H. B. Murphy, Clerk
     Recorded July 15th 1860
               O. W. Putnam, Clerk

Hiram B. Murphy was named a legatee in the Estate of Isaac P. Murphy. 

Hiram B. Murphy lived in Cherokee Co GA near Murphy's creek, where he farmed. It is said to
have had a mill on the property at one time and in the 1880 Cherokee Co GA census, at the age of
72, it showed Hiram B. Murphy, attending mill.

Padgett's Creek Baptist Church Union Co SC

January 19th 1895 - Rev L. C. Ezell restores  Bro. Jason Murphy to his 
membership at the Padgett's Crk Baptist Church.  Nancy is deceased at this time.

Rev. Ezell had this to say about the old dispute his church had against 
Jason, "The Pastor remarked that he could see no reason to revive the old 
matters of fifty years, since that Bro. Murphy had lived an irreproachable 
life, and now wished to be restored, & he is an old man; let him be restored.
Upon motion his application was granted & Bro. J. W. Murphy restored."

During the remaining years of his life Jason W. Murphy was a devoted 
church member until he died, in October 1899, in the 88th year of his age.

Jason wrote his sister about this unfortunate situation, you could tell by
his words, this troubled him for many years, he found his peace... And 
he and Nancy now rest in the Cemetery of the church Jason's was raised,   
and the cemetery where Nancy's grandfather lay, and their roots began.

According to the History of Padgett's Creek Church Book, Jason Wiley Murphy
 served in the War between the North and South.  Also according to the same book,
J. W. Murphy was active in the Church, serving on the building committee set up in
1844. In the month of August, Jason Wiley Murphy was elected deacon of Padgett's
Creek Church and was ordained four months later. During the next 3 years, he was
very active on committees and also being a delegate to the association. In 1845, the
church voted to disapprove of some of the acts of the last Association; however,
Jason Wiley and T. M. Murphy said they would not submit to the action of the Church.
After waiting 30 days for them to change minds, which they did not, they were excluded
from the church membership. 50 years later, on 19 January 1895, after a strong sermon
was preached and the usual invitation given for the reception of members, Jason Wiley Murphy
presented himself for restoration. 
SEE THE STORY BELOW.

Another moving experience in the life of Jason Wiley Murphy written about in the Padgett Creek
 History book is:  Hiram Wilburn, 87 years old, feeble and tottering on the arms of stronger man,
came during an invitation and related that he was converted 40 years ago but had neglected his duty
in making a profession of religion and uniting with the church. Adding to this solemn, moving experience,
Bro. Wiley Murphy, who was nearly the same age as Mr. Wilburn, approached his old friend and neighbor
and now brother in the church and fell upon his neck, embracing him and weeping for joy. 

Jason was a farmer, working very hard putting in crops of 'Cotton, Peas, Corn, Wheat and Nancy Newton Murphy
 wrote quite regularly to Edy Jackson and Hiram B Murphy after they moved to Georgia, keeping them abreast of
the happenings around the connections of Union County, S.C.

The last lived in Sedalia Union Co SC.

According to a write-up in the 1981 Union County Heritage Book, in the write-up on the Wiley Estes family, says that in May 1898, Delilah went upstairs to get some apples for friends. She fell down the stairs and broke her hip. Two months later, July 8 1898, she died and was buried beside her husband, Jonathan Bailey, in Prospect Cemetery about a mile from her home in Sedalia. 

Jason Wiley and Nancy N. Murphy writes in their letter of 24 July 1870, "J. F. (Jessie Franklin Bailey) is farming this years on his Fathers river place, has been overflowed all the spring. Keeps planting over, he said he can't make a great deel of corn. He comes here for his home. He staid with Chaney's (his brother in law) all the spring while at work until the last of June his Father (Jonathan N Bailey) died, then he staid with his mother (Susan Deliliah) of a night. Mary (Murphy, Chaney's wife) staid with us her health was bad.  J.N.B. (Jonathan N Bailey) was sick a long time, he put himself under the care of a physician in February, gradually grew worse until June when he was so low they called in a assistance physician. On Saturday morning, he went to sleep. They could not wake him. The Drs wakened him by using the battery. He never was at himself much of the time after that but lived until the next Thursday. He died the last day of June was buried 1st July. His disease was complicated, liver, heart & brain."

In a letter written by Jason Wiley and Nancy N. Murphy in March 1879, they state, "Delilah is staying with Franklin Bailey, has good health for an old lady."
