Thomas Murphy 1637-1712

Afternoon

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out and apologies for the delay in getting back to you!

Do you know what religion your ancestors were? There are some Church of Ireland records available on the irishgenealogy.ie site. Have you had a look at it yet in your research?

Hello,

It would appear that Thomas Murphy (1637-1688) was born in Co Wexford and died in Co. Carlow.  His son, Daniel Murphy, immigrated to Charles County, Maryland most likely in 1679 in his teens or early 20s.  Daniel Murphy was associated with the Anglican Church in Maryland.  It's possible that Thomas Murphy's wife was of English extraction and a member of the Anglican Church as well.  Thomas could have converted to Anglicanism before his son, Daniel, even came to the Colony of Maryland.

Thanks.
